This week, we are talking retouching. Yes, every digital image must be processed, but how much manipulation is okay? From simple cloning of object to compositing and sky replacement, we discuss the (sometimes) controversial topic of image retouching and enhancement.
If you’re interested in sky replacement, the best tool we’ve found so far is Luminar from Skylum Software. It does an exceptional job of auto-masking your images and replacing skies.
If you’re like us, you probably have hundreds, if not thousands of digital images stored on your computer. Have you ever wondered how those files can be shared and preserved with family or friends? This week, we look into some ways for you to make sure your best photos (and family photos) are preserved for the future. Whether it’s creating a slide show, or even a printed photo book, we take a look at the important things to consider for preserving your images.
Have you ever struggled to get “good” photos from a particular location or event? Sometimes, it can be hard to come away with a photography that doesn’t feel like a snapshot. Here are some of our tips for getting better photos in the field and working with images in post-processing.
This week, we are still staying indoors, so we thought we’d talk about our little home projects to keep us busy during these interesting times. Rick is busy using a Nikon ES-1 film digitizing adapter to photograph family photos, and Jason spent some time learning the nuances of the Focus Shift shooting settings on Nikon DSLRs for macro photography.
This week, we discuss camera white balance, including how to set it, how to fix it in post, and how to deal with tricky mixed lighting conditions in digital photography.
