Commentary on Photoshop CS3

Escondido, CA

Birthday Girl

I’ve spent the day finally processing images from Maggie Crane’s birthday party.

I had taken all shots in both RAW and JPEG format, and I found that by using CS3 Bridge I much preferred loading the RAW version. 95% of the tonal and contrast adjustments are easily made in RAW, and typically I just cropped and sharpened in CS3 itself.

The speed of Bridge enabled me to select about 50 shots out of 175, and get them ready for a CD in about 2 hours!

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

I absolutely love this shot. Lighting is great - she is radiant!

Good shot capturing that smile!

Beautifully done. I too prefer to process in Camera Raw and just leave resizing & sharpening to Photoshop.

This is wonderful (I actually thought I'd commented on it before but I don't see my comment). So full of emotion. I also really like that shot of you.

Charming capture, Robin. And...who could resist roses and lilac?

Robin, very nicely done portrait.

This one is really special, Robin. You do such a good job of candids. P.S. I love PS3 also.

Both images are wonderful, Robin. I'm sure Maggie will love hers. What a beautiful smile.

Wonderful image! Thanks also for sharing your CS3 experiences. I have not ordered the upgrade yet, but will one of these days.--Rene
