I’m a pretty new DSLR user, so I try to get all the tips I can.
This movie from Mahalo Daily has some great tips for DSLR users:
One of the tips is to not fear Photoshop…well I fear it! That’s not entirely true. I’m pretty good at ‘Shop, it’s the price I fear! I also agree with Thomas Hawk that even great photographers make good pics even better with a few tweaks. Adjust the contrast, colour, brightness … you can really make detail pop. As for shooting in RAW, I do that too. Here is one of my first RAW experiments:
For most folks Adobe Lightroom is the tool of choice, but I happen to find an alternative that is just as good–maybe even better–that is not only Canadian, but based in Victoria! The folks from ACDSee were at Web Community Forum in Seattle and turned me onto their ACDSee Pro 2 software for cataloging, editing, and doing RAW processing.
I’m going to do a longer post on MapleLeaf 2.0, but since I am writing about pics and tips …
Disclosure: I was given an NFR license for ACDSee Pro 2 for review.
