hmm. been quite curious. are all photographers proficient in at least 1 editing software?

e.g Gimp, Photoshop, lightroom, darkroom (just kidding).

wanna do a quick poll.
 

no i am not

up till today, i still cannot master snow effect for xmm photos.

or make light come out anyhow.

or make xmm in sea with reflection when she is in studio.
 

i only know very basic like adjust level, colour balance and simple cloning......:embrass:
 

it's probably because i spend too much time doing things like these:

this is what i got by using cs5's content aware 5 times.
 

I use both Lightroom 2 and Element 7..... but no, won't said I'm proficient in Image Editing :sweat: Just know enough to do simple editing and image framing :bsmilie:
 

If shoot properly, no need post-processing :devil:
 

I eat and breathe Photoshop every single day of my life for the past 10 years... Am I good at it? Donch noe... I don't always use it for photo/image retouching but I've probably done that 40% of that time. Experienced? Maybe maybe not, sometimes I do discover something new that I've never tried before. If you ask me if I can blend Ortega's face onto an XMM body? Well, I think anyone can do that once they have learnt the basic tools... To make it convincingly true would highly depend on the shooting elements/condition of both images (face vs body)... Otherwise it is simply a cut and paste procedure with slight feathering along the facial borders... If it is done convincingly then everyone would gasp and exclaim: "Ortega, is that truly you behind that magnificent, sexy body??" :bsmilie:
 

If shoot properly, no need post-processing :devil:

If shoot film, just scan, resize and post. :bsmilie:

Although abit post-processing will further enhance the photo.

it depens on which sexy body are you talking about?
 

I am not proficient even though I have used CS3 for sometime... minor editing shd be ok...too much and I'm flawed badly....:)
 

So, you're going to start a workshop? :bsmilie:

not exactly workshop per se. i might be doign some tutorials if i have time hmm. see how my work load goes. if nothing might as well do soemthing constructive. LOL:bsmilie:
