Ok I'm in Harsh Environments, and I think I will go for Free Study and Centered Comp. (12 Days of Chirstmas- does the Bob & Doug one count?) I have got somewhat strange over the last few challenges I think I may have had a mental break down resulting in dirt and Pink Floyd, thank goodness my pup pulled me out.

Holy crap batman, I'm back up to 5.6. I know it's not a 6 but for me, it's pretty darn good.

| If any of you are using CS2 try Smart Sharpen. It doesn't do as much haloing as USM. You will still see some increased halos, but not as bad as USM, and I find I am using it more and more. In some situations, I still use USM, but not often. |

I just got Photoshop 6.0, but haven't yet loaded it onto my computer as I need to clear up some space first. I'm looking forward to being able to use some of the tools, such as curves, I don't currently possess.
By the way, is it just me, or are there a lot of REALLY good photos in occupation? I gave a lot of high scores. |

| What is USM? I had a comment about it describing the way I looked so I looked it up on urbandictionary.com and saw that it stood for Underground Sex Machine. I thought, "DID I JUST GET CALLED A SLUT?!" lol, apparently not...but I still don't know what it means |

UnSharpMask...It's used for sharpening a photo. |

It stands for Unsharp Mask in photoshop. It sharpens images, and is especially noticeable after resizing.
edit--too slow!

Catherine...I have Paintshop Pro 9 but my son keeps telling me I should get Photoshop 7. He said you can find it on-line at a pretty reasonable price. Just thought I would mention that. BTW, PaintShop Pro has curves...that's how I get myself in trouble. |

ya know, i'm not sure when i last used usm. maybe that's why i don't score well... in advanced, i use a high pass layer set to soft light, then masked for the specific area i want sharpened. i find usm gives a quality i just don't like. it looks...weird.

 Bear_Music says 1/125 sec f/8. Set the ISO accordingly. (That's manual pre-set fot street candids btw, when you don't know what's coming and when and won't have the time to set up for it).

Wow, I have no idea how to do the stuff you mentioned on here. I think I'd better order a Photoshop for Dummies book to go along with my new version. What's a high pass layer? |

and AA Battery is doing more like most of my pics do, starting in mid-4s and clambering up or down...odd though, the disproportionate number of views to votes!!!!

| Oh yeah, I did shoot for 12 Days but clearly have the wrong card in my camera so must go find it :-( However do plan to shoot Fences. Couldn't really find a harsh environment around here. |

| Just been voting on Patterns and saw the shot that has drawn such visceral reactions. I didn't lose my lunch, but certainly can empathize with other members of the thread, for obvious reasons. |

I found a harsh environment and got a comment that said it looked like a studio shot. I should have had one of those titles that says 'this is a picture of - in which - which is a harsh sort of environment because...'
Or not.
