I’ve been edited and tweaking the photos on my site and in Flickr. I’m wondering how they are being perceived. It takes me alot longer to edit the photos, then if i were to make simple/limited color alterations in iPhoto. The way I’m doing them is quite extensive and time-consuming, in Photoshop. I like to be able to give a set of photos another layer of emotion and feeling by tweaking the color, saturation and vignetting, but it forces me to be more select with them, only posting a few.
what do you think?
Personally I find myself doing exactly the same thing. I try to not spend too much time on it so I tend to use some actions that I find yeild resonable results.. then I add my tweaking layers on top and tend to drag and drop these to each pic from the same roll or set (if digital). Otherwise I’ll be there all day.
I take some photos I like and spend the time on them because I see more potential in them.. it’s just the amateur photographer in me that didn’t capture it perfectly. Sometimes you look back at the original and it just doesn’t compare. I’m defintely a Flickr addict who can’t help but open photoshop with every image I take. It’s just a matter of how much time put into each image.
With Photoshop I also find that I can control the focus, enhance the emotion and portray the subcet as how I envisioned it thru the lens even if what I get back from the photolab or downloaded frrom the camera isn’t quite right. Adobe Rocks!!! :)
I like the results you have come up. Keep up the good work and I’ll be stopping by your blog regularly if you don’t mind :)
