About Me:
I prefer not to adjust the photos I take. What comes out of the viewfinder is what ends up on the page. So what you see is what my eye sees. I will only crop and rotate when necessary. Sometimes sections are decoloured to emhasise others. That is all the digital manipulation I like to do.
About a month or so ago I downloaded and installed Picassa. Now Picassa is a cool program. Google developed it. It is a bit invasive in the fact that it will search your entire hard disk looking for photos, however once installed its really nice. You can drag and drop files between folders. The really nice thing about Picassa is that i got to play with a few "photoshop" applications. Mainly some contrast and colour adjustments. I have been using The Gimp for a few years now (a freware vertion of photoshop). I just found it a bit labourious to adjust each photo and save a new copy. Picassa allows you to make as many changes as you want, but the cool thing is that it is within the program so that no permanent changes are made. You can of course save either high res or lower res for blogging of what changes you have made. This has made adjusting photos a lot more accessable and a lot more fun. I will leave it up to you to see what you think of how I have adjusted the photos.
