www.dombower.com This video is a slow one showing the editing power of raw compared to jpeg. Although you should never have to change your images by 4 stops in post production this video is showing a point not a purpose. The extra amount of detail that is captured by raw images in highlight details and the lack of noise in shadows when brightened in post production.

26 Feb

Download this image and follow along! Here is the image made available by Debby aka hara18 on SXC: www.sxc.hu When I first began editing images in Photoshop I quickly realized the best way to edit images was to do as much as you could on separate layers and keep everything as editable as possible. This tutorial covers how I prefer to retouch eyes and really enhancing eyes that need only minor retouching or none at all.

Here is my personal review of the Nikon D300 (12.3mp Digital SLR). This is just a basic review of specs of the camera.
