The dangers of new Technology?

Sun Oct 11, 2009, 6:52 PM
Hello

For years, I've used photoshop 7.0 as my image editor... but recently it conked out on me. Not working, kaput. So I obtained a copy of photosohop 8.0 (ie CS... I don't think my PC can run CS 4).

And it's similar to 7.0 enough that it's easy to use, but there are new features... including the shadow/highlight tool.

Yes, I've been living in the dark (ha) ages without that feature. It's really neat what it allows me to do - I can improve the contrast of my photos while looking less "harsh" - and latex photography is all about contrast. But now I have a dilemma...

One is the temptation to go re-do all my photos, or at least the black and white ones. It really would improve them. BUT... that's a lot of work, and maybe I should spend that time creating new material - OR at least going through some never processed files (I have tons of material just sitting there).

Second, sometimes doing things "not the best way" has benefits. I'm going to post in a few minutes a comparison to illustrate. By doing thing the "not so good way" to increase the contrast and highlight on the latex, I risk "blasting away" the background. But sometimes that's good! I want you, the viewer, to pay attention to the model, NOT the dinky background.

soo... comments and suggestions (here on the image) are welcomed :)

thank you for the heads up. I thought about joining, but apparently votes can be purchased... which makes the contest deeply flawed IMO. I therefore won't be participating.
