Tutorial: "Taking RAW to the Next Level"

Written by: Rachel Durik In my Fix-It Fridays, I talk a lot about actions. But in my personal editing, actions are only half the story. I do a lot of the editing in RAW. I’ve previously done a tutorial on basic RAW editing. So before you read any further, you might want to go read, [...]

Camera Tutorial – Shooting in RAW

Have you ever heard anyone talk about shooting in RAW or JPEG? Or RAW and JPEG? If you don’t shoot in RAW, it’s probably very confusing. Or maybe you know what shooting in RAW is, but just don’t know if it’s worth it or where to start. I was one of those people about a [...]

Fix-It Friday #60 – Rachel Durik’s Contribution

Written by: Rachel Durik from Savor Photography I think the best thing about this picture from Susan Keller is that gorgeous sun flare. I wanted to bring that out and add some contrast.

Fix-It Friday #44 – Rachel Durik’s Contribution

Written by: Rachel Durik from Savor Photography It’s always fun working on other contributor’s photos. This little darling is Keli‘s daughter. I thinks she looks just like her! Now, before I start, I can’t even tell if I’m happy with this edit. It might be too processed. If I do a lot of edits to [...]

Fix-It Friday #43 – Rachel Durik’s Contribution

Written by: Rachel Durik from Savor Photography I edited this photo once before during a Constructive Feedback Friday. This time, I decided to do something a little different. And I’ll say from the beginning, it was significantly more complicated than my first edit. I’m working with Photoshop CS3 and I use TRA actions, the first [...]
