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.

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.

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!!!!

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?

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).

It stands for Unsharp Mask in photoshop. It sharpens images, and is especially noticeable after resizing.

edit--too slow!

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

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.

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.
