Wait to edit… or don’t edit at all!

Hey guys and gals, I’m back from no-mans land.

I just read an interesting article on the Photofocus blog that touches on that urge that we all have as photographers-to be impatient and go-ahead with editing that photo on our less-than-perfect laptop.

You guys probably have your laptop that travels around with you as you take your photos and then your desktop at home with the giant screen and it’s calibrated colors, right? Well, if you’re like me you do, and if you have that going for you but your screen isn’t calibrated yet, go ahead and check out this website that you can use to help calibrate your computer monitor.

But anyways, back to the urge to edit. Of course, if you’re in less than perfect conditions, just wait a little while longer to edit those images when you have plenty of good lighting and a robust computer to work with them on.

Then there’s always the option to keep your images just the way they are; this works most of the time for me, and as you can tell by this photo I took in England this past summer, it worked great:

See you around.
