Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 3, 2011 How much post photo editing do those last few photos take? Or, is that all done with set up of the camera? With View NX, I am adjusting the RAW file's white balance, exposure, picture control, and D-lighting, and then converting to tiff. In Photoshop Elements 9, I am taking the tiff file and adjusting levels, brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpening, then leveling and cropping. For the web, these are resized, file quality reduced, and saved as jpegs. The two images with sunsets from Marshall Lake are blends of two exposures, one for the land and one for the sky. The others are single exposures that have been processed. I do adjust the camera's white balance to close-to-conditions, and adjust exposure by looking at the histogram after each shot to check for under or overexposures.

youngbuck Report post Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks RR. I'm about to jump into photoshop. My room mate just got the software through work and we are both kind of self teaching ourselves how to use it. I did get some really good photos of a mojave rattler yeasterday. I'll try and do some editing and see what I end up with. I'll have to go through my camera box and see what software it included. It may have a canon version of the view NX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youngbuck Report post Posted August 4, 2011 Ryan, did you get the full-blown CS5 version? I think so. I'll have to check. I haven't played with it yet. He has only had it a couple days now. He is learning to use it for web design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
