Re: Scott Hargis Interview
Oy vay, I hate post-processing!
But we have to do it. Yes, I use Adobe CS3, and I also have Lightroom. I prefer CS3 for architectural work because Lightroom doesn't have the perspective control that CS3 has, and its cloning and repair options are more limited.
OK, here's my basic workflow:
1) Ingest images from the card into Adobe Bridge
2) Apply keywords, copyright etc. to the IPTC
3) Rank images and identify my "winners" that I want to tweak and deliver.
4) Bring them into Photoshop where I:
a) Do any obvious big cloning of reflections or cat faces or whatever
b) Perform any perspective control, if needed (usually isn't much of this, see "expensive
lens" above)
c) Run a Shadow/Highlight as needed
d) Color-correction
e) Levels. Curves is probably better, but I find Levels to be faster.
f) Last-minute cloning or tiny little adjustments
