G'day all,
The last thing I wanted to do when I started taking my photography more seriously was worry about post processing. I was just interested in aperture, exposure etc.....( still am)
What I did learn quickly was that post processing is a big part of digital photography. The reason I didn't want to know about PP was that it was all to much, but over time I have learned more and now am less intimidated. Having said that boy have I still got a long way to go!
Anyway to the point of this post. I have been for the last few months using curves to adjust the tone, brightness, contrast etc. Have been getting some ok results through trial and error. Found this link and thought it was a good read http://www.thegoldenmean.com/technique/curves1.html I now have a better understanding of what to do. These type of articles do a better job for me than trying to read the help menu.
cheers
