I just got an Olympus E410 digital SLR and I haven't really had the time or energy or concentration to start reading about RAW. However, I will have 12 days of driving to Anchorage. I think I will have the time then to read the camera guide. I find with the Olympus I do tend to do some contrast and level adjusting -- the photos have that gray cast to them. Picasa2 is great for that stuff. <BR/><BR/>Maggie -- postprocessing is your friend! You can download Picasa2 from Google for free, and it's very user-friendly and great for basics. Even just cropping can change a photo from a snapshot to a great shot. You can also download a free 30 day trial of Photoshop CS3 (which costs $650 -- ow!). <BR/><BR/>Oh, yeah, and Thanks you guys!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546701275844134990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348238.post-4233787619360287772008-04-24T10:44:00.000-05:002008-04-24T10:44:00.000-05:00Wow, more reasons again.

I guess I've been fairly oblivious to it all - I mean, I see gorgeous effects, but I just thought people had the most awesome cameras in the world and mad photography skills to the point of impossible. I really love, love, love the picture of Abe. What a sweetie pie. That storm shot and the "postprocessing" (just learned a new word) are beyond belief amazing. Wow. I splurged on the laptop, but I'll need to get a copy of Photoshop because suddenly I have to do this. You make it look so awesome and fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348238.post-34605110795457459142008-04-24T09:04:00.000-05:002008-04-24T09:04:00.000-05:00Are you starting with jpegs?

I shot a Canon 30D - mostly I shoot to a RAW and then postprocess, but all of my England shots are jpeg. They really don't need much postprocessing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.com
