It sounds a lot more affordable – YIKES photoshop!! @elianafranzenburg Yes, I agree Photos is really good at enhancing light.

I’m talking with a photographer friend about changing the resolution. She says I may be able to do it in my camera. Anybody know about this?

A big thankyou, @vince, @timtam, @theodore, and @jamesstaddon, for taking the time to give me your very helpful critique! It’s so interesting hearing everyone’s different opinions, what they don’t like, do like, would do different etc. It’s fascinating how everyone sees things differently and how everyone has different style preferences etc.…Read more

@bensharpeningcharacter Yes, it does make sense 🙂 Thank you for your edit of my photo.

Once I fix Photoshop I’ll redo it using your suggestions 🙂

@buddingphotographer, I began to look over those forums, and I believe they will be helpful! After you download RAWTherapee or Gimp, do you need internet connection for them to work?

@vince and @rmadaris, that’s a great idea to straighten it. Here it is straightened.
@rmadaris, I know it wasn’t caused by editing, because the the shadow is in the original. There was a certain setting I was using when I shot it that I can’t remember (it may have been bracketing), but that may be what caused it.

I agree with @vince that the tail was a bit distracting. Maybe if the tail was more subtle, and you could see more of the dogs head. Just a thought!

Ok, I had pulled up the whites quite a bit in Lightroom. I was trying to draw people’s eye to the flowers by making them a bright white, but I probably did overdo it a bit! 🙂 Easily fixed, anyway!

Thanks for the critique today, @jamesstaddon!

Strictly speaking on the photography side of things, you can see how the second image is considerably lower in quality due to the high ISO and lack of tack sharpness. The dramatic decrease in available light as compared to the first image is probably to blame.

I should also note that this type of…Read more

Golden hour is so much more than just warm light. Think about it….the shadows, the way light filters through things differently, the fact that the sun is closer to the horizon and less intense for starbursts, the color and texture of the…Read more

I’d love to hear your thoughts about it, I’ve had it for several months now, and I’m quite happy with it, but I’m just comparing it to GIMP, which is back in the dark ages in comparison. 🙂

In my understanding that feature is available as far back as LR 5. What version do you have?

Links and a comparison between LR 5, 6 and CC are in the following video from the webinar earlier this month:

Check out Affinity Photo as an alternative to Photoshop, @melaniethomsen. It’s one-time $50 and @buddingphotographer has expressed how positively better it is than GIMP.

@vince, I’m going to research your initial questions and we can discuss it on the webinar tomorrow.
