TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK 'I learned so much in this class! I appreciated all the information, hints, techniques, equipment ideas, etc., that you shared in your course material. I liked that your critiques were prompt and your suggestions were perfect.' -Phyllis Peterson, student Getting Started in Commercial Photography with John Siskin
THIS WEEK'S TIP
Try JPEG + Raw!
By Susan and Neil Silverman, BetterPhoto instructors
For those of you who shoot only JPEG, try shooting both JPEG and Raw in your camera. Then maybe as your Photoshop skills develop or you have that wonderful image that you want someone to work on for you, you will have the image with the most information. That way, you will make the final image so much better than trying to photo-edit a JPEG. You can just use your JPEGs as normal, and store those Raw images somewhere else, but maybe someday you will be so happy you have saved that Raw 'negative' to improve on the print or final image! ... Note: The Silvermans teach three online photo courses at BetterPhoto. See their courses here…
Identify Your Gear!
