Which photo editor should I choose?
Depending on what you expect to do I find ThumbsPlus excellent for organising and doing
general enhancements. It's also extremely intuitive - in my opinion. Once you feel happier
with things move to Photoshop Elements. Personally, if you start with Elements I think you
may get very frustrated.
GIMP is extremely capable, but takes getting used to, a free comprehensive online book can
be found at http://gimp-
RAW file photo editing?
So I started shooting in RAW finally, and I am happy with my decision. I like the options
you get in photoshop with the RAW file, and the quality does seem better. Here is my
question though--I have done post-production on about ten images. I then converted the
newly edited (beautiful colors, etc) images all to 16bit TIFF files and also to 8bit JPEGS
for casual use. I went to put the new jpegs up on the web, and the colors I've altered
seem to not be there at all! In fact, it seems to have reverted to the RAW data. When I
open the file in Preview or Photoshop or any other software on my comp, I see the colors
that I created for the picture (even the jpeg version), but when I email it to someone or
try to get it on the web it just isn't the same.
I should probably say that I also tried using Photoshop's option of "save for
web" which supposedly optimizes your file for web use. I got the same results--RAW
color, no alterations visible.
I thought that somehow I was uploading some phantom version of the RAW accidentally, so I
took the file and added a huge black streak across the sky to see if it would show up in
the JPEG I upload. It certainly did, but the colors of my photo were still the RAW colors!
Is it just not processing the color information? I don't get it...
Photo editing questions?
It was suggested to me today my some people I know that since I do not place my name on
the photo itself on the back of the photo I place a sticker with my name and number. Now I
have seen this done before but I worry about damaging the photo. Does anyone do this and
if so what type of sticker or label paper are you using?
re:
There are archival stickers made by Perma/Seal and by Light Impressions. They are P.A.T.
approved and can be written onto with pen/pencil or they can be stamped. Anyway the colour
cannot penetrate to the photographic emulsion as these stickers have a layer of aluminium
foil in between. They can be used with inkjet printers, I am not sure about laser printers
though.
