Hey, what kind of post processing do you guys do after getting a photo from your cam? Is it the same for web viewing and printing?
I'll start first with mine, currently using a minolta 7hi, set at sharpen 'soft', saturation +1, contrast -1, ev -0.3, adobe RGB (from some sites, since they were saying the colours were too natural AKA not vivid enough)
Once on photoshop, it runs through a default workflow of
USM 350% 0.4 1
Fade luminosity 100%
USM 15% 60 0
Fade luminosity 100%
levels to expand dynamic range by shifting white and black point to cut-offs in the histogram if neccessary
curves using a S-curve for contrast increase
and brightness and contrast if neccessary
from here, if its for print, i convert to my printers profile or sRGB (depending on self print or developer)
if its for web,
reduce to 600x450
put in watermark
put in border
So what do you guys think?
Reason I'm asking being that I was playing around with photoshop and the auto-color command actually gives me nice colours without that loooong workflow above :embrass:
Any idea on how to improve it?
Some samples of the photos can be found at my gallery below..
