Swamped!
I have updated a couple pictures…I have been playing around with the beta trial version of Adobe Lightroom. So far, it is pretty nice. It doesn’t replace Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, but it is a nice addition–especially if you shoot a lot in RAW, as I have been doing recently. All digital cameras shoot in JPEG format. It is the standard. But some cameras, like my Nikon D70s, also allow you to shoot in RAW format, which is basically like a digital negative. The nice thing is that you have more control over the photo and you can edit it non-destructively. The bad thing is that you must do more editing and the files are larger. Programs like Adobe Lightroom and Apple Apeture make it a lot faster and easier to edit RAW files.
If you want to download it and try it, the address is here. I’ve had it on my computer for a long time, but only really started trying to use it recently. I think it also works for JPEG pictures, but I haven’t tried that. If you don’t know what I am talking about and/or don’t care, then just ignore this.
Anyway, I am swamped. I have tests at my high school, and of course they gave me a huge list of demands at the last minute, as always. And I am just really sleepy…so I need to finish things so I can go to bed early. I have uploaded a handful of pictures, which I can process while I am working on my tests, but I am really behind. Sorry about that. Please be patient. I made a few breakthroughs with my Nikon during our trip. I am starting to get a feel for it. So I am glad about that. And I still want to write more about the trip.
I am always behind, and I always write entries about how busy I am. But this is the busy season at my job, so….(better get used to it! :mrgreen:)
