Hi Bruce, Well, let's see, this is the third image I ran through the Photoshop RAW, and the lighting was a little easier to control both when shooting the pic and in the editing. By the time I made this shot I was getting somewhat of a feel for the camera, and the light was with me, unlike with the pic of John.
The softness may work on this pic, but on others it really gets in the way. I realized last night that I'd not set the diopter correction, so that may have something to do with why a lot of the pics are not as sharp as they could be. I found a couple of pages comparing different RAW converters, so I've got something to read later on. One thing I don't like about the Adobe converter is that only one image can be open at a time, which makes it very difficult to compare two similar pics side by side. While there's a bit of a work around, it involves opening the pics in PS, but that doesn't allow any editing in RAW, just viewing. I'll be comparing Adobe's converter with the one you use, and maybe another. Shel Bruce Dayton Thu, 10 Mar 2005 08:28:46 -0800 It is looking really good. Seems that you are getting much better with the raw convertor. Is this done with the PS CS Raw convertor? I like the image. Even though a touch soft, I don't think it really detracts - a bit cautious expression that makes the picture just a bit more intriguing.
