Digital Workflow

Man oh man -- I don't know how people keep up with all this stuff. It used to be that all I had to worry about was loading the camera with film, finding a decent subject, meter, set aperture and speed, focus, and shoot -- that's it!

Now -- I have to worry about workflow -- processing RAW files -- printing with the right profiles -- calibrating my screen -- adjustment layers -- on and on and on and on... I will say that I'm having fun. It's a great hobby. I'm just glad I don't do this stuff for a living.

Photoshop tips and tricks

I'm getting serious about Photoshop CS. Ryan at Light Tight recommended a great book to get me started - 'Real World Photoshop CS' - it's great.

If any of you have tips and tricks you want to share, post them here! What would be nice is an example photo to go along with the post -- a before and after, if you will. Dave at Chromasia does a great job of including comments which clue all of us into what he does to create those wonderful images we salivate over. I've learned a lot from lots of people - and I'll try to post some of what I've learned as I go along.
