Heh. Adobe's been looking over the fence to see what Nik Software has been
doing with their U-Point technology in Capture NX as well as their own
Viveza product. Being able to do local edits in a raw file is a huge
benefit. I've been spoiled by this ability for over a year now in CNX.
It's a cool thing and it's good to see Adobe put it in ACR.

I started working on the 2008 ebook today. It's beginning to take shape.
I've got about a hundred photos to resize and downsample, but I was able to
put together a master concept and design in InDesign today.
Can't wait to see it - it's going to be spectacular.

Are the skies in your photos not as blue as you'd like them to be?

No problemo!

Use color control points to repaint those pale skies the vivid blue* you
would like them to be!

Just click the correct icon in the toolbar...

Click the sky...

Drag the size slider to size the control point...

Adjust brightness and contrast....

Save the image using the Save As option in the File menu...

It's easy!

* Or orange, if you want to give your photos that snappy off-planet look!

(Yes, I have a copy of Capture NX2... :) )

Click the sky!

Frankly Harry, your knowledge of composing and post processing
photographs is about the same as your knowledge of music and opera.

Namely, zero, zip, nada.


Frankly, Tom...I don't post the photos I spend any time composing. I
post my snapshots. I'm really not that interested in the critical
opinions of the snarks here. Also, I have very little interest in post
processing. I'll do a bit of cropping, and a tiny bit of adjusting here
and there if I see a problem, but as I have stated many times, I like
nature as she is, and don't think it important to "improve" on the work
of the creator.

I've taken some first-class photos from the tops of bridges, on oil
platforms, in welding classes, and a million other difficult places,
photos that actually tell a story and get published. I'm not a pro
photographer by any means, and I don't play one in internet chat forums
like this one. My picture taking abilities are adequate for my needs,
nothing more.

Taking photos is a hobby for me, one of many.

I don't post what I've written for money, either.

Your artsy photos? Strained. Frankly, the best and most interesting
photos I've ever seen posted here are the ones Eisboch took of his dog.

Is there a chartreuse period to match your blue period? :)

Harry, where are your photos published. I think it would be interesting to
see some of your work, especially the shots from the tops of bridges. Hell,
most of us haven't even been to a million places.

More bragging from the world class bridge photographer, Harold N krause.
But of course, as always, he won't show you what he is bragging about. WAFA

That's odd, you talk of photos you've allegedly had published, now
you're saying it's a hobby. You suck at it, that's about it, and you
are jealous of those who are good at it.

Well, you just blew the whole idea of thoughtful, skillful and knowledgeable
photography as a hobby or vocation.

Interestly though, I recently met an old high school classmate who I hadn't
seen in years. She's a professional photographer now with all kinds of
letters with periods between them, after her name. She's also an animal
lover and saw some of the pictures I've taken of Sam Adams. She started
complimenting me for my skill, explaining that taking pictures of black
objects is very difficult, "as you know" she says. I didn't have a
clue. I just put the switch in "automatic" and take the picture. My
favorite is still his mugshot, but after that one, these two are next in
line in terms of what I think came out the best, but I honestly can't take
any credit for them. The camera did all the work.

He's not bashful about displaying his desires.
He's also a nut.
