Well ... it's good you are learning the PS System Chuck ... I would tone done the over saturation ... you are starting to get some strong color highlights that are bothersome.
But a good start. I would learn and practice with Levels and Curves ... it will help enhance color abilities.
chuck, try to shoot in RAW for photos you think you will want to play with in PS, Aperture, LightRoom, etc. for those "just point and shoot" moments, JPEG is fine
no. your camera shot in jpeg, which i didnt know until i loaded them into my computer lol but yeh im learning. im also fixing up my older pics and making them more vibrant in color and clarity. some pics i can salvage and there's some not even the finest programs can save from horrible quality.
im also trying to divert from the whole "point-and-shoot" thing. i like to take things as is, and then add my touch for the final product. not some wimpy camera.
Here in Houston: go to Houston Camera Exchange or Camera Co-Op.
Enjoy browsing.
And thanks Justin. Yes my wife is holding up ... she watches TV, walks, watches TV, walks ... pain pain pain ... watch TV, walks.
I figure it will be like that for about a week.
And Darrel, I don't think Chuck even knows what Lightroom and Aperture are. I personally like Aperture a bit better than lightroom. I have Aperture 2.1 and am thinking about upgrading to Aperture 3.
But lately, I have bought lights with battery packs to take out side. Love Outside Strobes ... they are so fun.
Does anyone have a amp I can have or buy or use for awhile? I need like a 500 watt or more. I'm about to get a 15inch mtx sub and I need an amp to run it so I can bass. Let me know. Posted via FF Mobile
yeh you're right, i don't lol. but i have heard of them. so im just gonna try and play with Ps before moving to anything else so i can at get a hang on how to edit photos like a pro.
Well, Lightroom and Aperture are organizing softwares with some adjustments that keep you from opening PS. Then has a major link to PS for Major touch ups.
Just about all Major Photogs have one or the other for their organization tool and quick adjustment tool.
Same here for the aperture. If I find I need to mask out a section to do curves with or find something I just want to plain take out ... I go to my external editor PS.
Well back in good ole Texas, 13 hour drives kill ya. [xx(]

But it's good to be back and look forward to our next meet.
