| Just would like to ask all DPCers out there....does it make a vast differences in your image quality if you edit your photo first then resize the image dimension later (to meet the Challenge criteria) or vice versa? |

Resizing should be only of the last steps. If you're talking about cropping do that first so it takes up less RAM.
Also remember to work on a copy and not the original. A request may be made to sent in your original for validation in case of winning or DQ.

I think most of the people here only ever do USM after re-size - everything else first. I've occasionally dodged and burned after re-sizing, though only if I needed to use very broad brush sizes.

| i always do my editing to the full size image in case i want to make it a print. i save the full size with processing then i save the resized version. sorta redundant but it saves time later when i'm working up the print. |

I always end up with at 3 files in the folder for that DPC challenge. The original, untouched; the edited one; the edited one resized to DPC size. Occasionally there will be a sharpened/not sharpened one or something. I think most do the sharpening after re-sizing. In my "regular" folders, I will place any other versions I might work up of the image, but keep them out of the DPC folder so I won't get them all mixed up (which I did once - I had 10 or so versions and didn't know after a while which was which).

Haha, I'm not to the point yet where I seperate all the versions out, I probably should... Lol, but yeah, same process. Sometimes I like to keep track of my editing steps too just in case I need to step-backward more than my last action and my editing program won't let me do that, so having them there I can just redo it pretty quickly.

This is what I have been trying to work on. I get it all nice and edited and THEN discover a problem!! I am trying to learn PS Elements and saving in TIFF, but in my usual program, this is a nightmare. Also, I asked to have one of my photos validated before I leave town, and I felt rediculous that I could barely remember what I had done sometimes in the post-editing. I keep learning one more piece of the puzzle each week . . .

Thats good advice. I learned the hard way by trying to print an 8x10 that was 1024x768. It looked great, but up close you could tell it could have been better. I then went back to the original, processed it but didnt resize, then had it printed, Looked Great! :)
