Storing Digital Photos From Camera

Storing Digital Photos From Camera

was fortunate to have a mentor who taught me on the day he took me under his wing all about the importance of caring for negatives and slides. “Pictures can be damaged,” he told me. “But as long as you have a good negative or transparency to work from, the world won’t end when your great work of art meets an ill fate.”

And so every time I developed film or picked up transparencies from a lab (I would never, but never, send them through the mail – way too many opportunities to be lost or damaged), I faithfully put the negatives and slides in protective, archival sleeves inside notebooks. Then I dated them and stored them in a dry, safe place. To this day I can find negatives and slides from 20 years ago within five minutes (whether I should have saved them all is a totally different story).

I was even a bit smug with how well I had preserved everything.

But when I began shooting digital images I was so intent on learning new technology and exploring possibilities and limits that I simply downloaded my photos onto my hard drive and went to work on them in PhotoShop without even considering how to protect my images. At the time, I wasn’t sold on digital and was just playing around with a little point and shoot, so I didn’t consider things like organizing and storing the pictures.

A few months into my digital dizziness, I noticed my computer had become very slow. It took a few hours before it hit me: those digital images are real space hogs! Immediately following that realization was the frightening thought that if my computer were to crash or if a virus attacked it, I could lose months of work.

Immediately, I began to look for solutions. While I’m not totally satisfied with any of these solutions, in the right combination, these steps will help you protect your digital images.

1. First and foremost, make sure you save original files. Never change that file. Do a “save as,” and only edit the “saved as” image. I learned this the hard way. I was in a rush to get a client an image for her Web site and resized the image accordingly. I was so used to being able to change sizes with negatives, I didn’t stop to think about changing a size with a digital image. When the client asked for the same image for a brochure, I couldn’t provide her with a high-quality print image. Learned from my mistake.

2. Next, you need to back up every image. There are a number of ways to do this.

• Keep them on your memory card. Beware of choosing this option. It can be pricey, and those small cards are easy to lose. They can also get damaged easily.
• Back up every image on a CD. Make two copies. Store one someplace handy; store the second copy somewhere safe off-site. Space is limited on a CD. I’ve found them less than adequate for the number of photographs I take.
• Back up every image on a DVD. Again, make two copies. DVDs have far more memory than a CD, so if you have lots of images, it’s worth investing in a DVD burner.

3. Make high-quality prints of all your images. This isn’t ideal because scanning an image sacrifices some degree of quality, but it will provide some level of protection.

4. Use online storage. There are numerous websites that allow you to download photos to their server so you can share your photos with others. Sounds like a great solution. You won’t have to invest in CD or DVD burners or writable discs. However, size limits do apply. I also strongly advise only going with a web site that has a proven track record. Remember, too, that their server could get a virus. They could go out of business. And security issues are a concern.

5. External drives. There are a number of these, from very small in size (but big on memory) thumb drives to external USB hard drives, some of which can hold up to 40 gigs.

Things to keep in mind when choosing a storage method:

1. Technology changes rapidly, so be prepared to change with it. CDs and DVDs may well be obsolete in ten years, so all that downloading and burning will likely have to be redone down the road. Expect change.

2. Using more than one backup method is a good idea. External hard drives can get viruses. They can get broken. They can crash. CDs and DVDs can get scratched. It’s a lot of work to have multiple backup sources, but if you value your images, it’s worth the investment.

3. Do not buy off-brand CDs or DVDs. Go with a name you can trust. Same with external or portable drives.

4. Remember that you should never edit your original image. And that is the image you will want to back up. (Although if you have spent hours creating special effects on an image, that’s certainly worth backing up as well.)

Perhaps the day will come when you can easily print directly from your computer to a 35mm or medium format film, which will give you the assurance that you will have negatives just like you used to. Until then, make sure you back up, back up, back up.

-Of the hardest types of photography

Of the hardest types of photography

 

Children are a favorite subject for many photographers. Advertisers know a photo of an adorable child will grab people’s attention. Fundraisers know an image of a sick, wounded, or sad child will bring in donations. And parents cannot imagine a better subject than their child. Parents take cameras to sporting events, school functions, and parties. It seems like every moment of a child’s life is documented either in a still photograph or in a video. But how many photos of children are truly memorable?
Here are some tips on getting shots that draw total strangers into your photographs of children.
Take Time to Get to Know the Child
Most children let you into their world quickly. Before you start taking a picture, spend at least 10 minutes talking to the child. Ask questions about things that interest the child. Good openers include:
“Do you like bugs?”
“Would you rather be a giraffe or a butterfly?”
“What’s your favorite game?
Pay attention to how the child responds. Does he/she make eye contact? Capture that confidence when you take his/her picture. Does the child laugh at the questions or seriously contemplate them? Look for that sense of whimsy or pensive side when you take the picture. Does the child doodle when he/she responds? Then look for ways to show the child is creative. Does the child twist her hair while she’s thinking? Great. Include that in a photo.
If you’re taking photos of your own child, you already know your child’s personality traits, his/her habits, his/her facial expressions. Capture those instead of (or in addition to) a posed in-front-of-the-camera smile.
Observe, Observe, Observe
After you talk to the child, explain you’re going to get your camera ready and back away. The child will soon lose interest in you, giving you a chance to observe the child relating to the world. Inquisitive? Intent? Distracted? Capture that in your images.
If you’re taking photos of your own child, try observing your child as if you don’t know him/her at all. You’ll probably see some things you haven’t noticed before.
Be Unobtrusive
Use a telephoto lens. The best photographs of children are those when a kid is acting like a kid. To capture that and all the emotions that go with it, you need to be an unobtrusive as possible. Use a telephoto lens so you can have some real distance between you and the child. This will help the child tune you out and do whatever he or she does best, whether it’s play, dream, run around, make up stories. Capture that.
Alternately, move in close to the child to capture a curve of the cheek, curls tumbling down a forehead, eyes deep in thought.
Show the Child’s Environment
Try to take your photographs in a place that means something to the child. A bedroom, playroom, playground, field – all of these say something about how the child relates to the world. Does the child run freely across the open field or sit quietly reading a book? Does the child see how high he or she can climb a tree or does he/she prefer to lean against it and pet his/her dog? Is the child’s room spotless, showing the child’s organizational bent, or is it a wild jumble of clothes and toys?
Look for the Extraordinary in the Ordinary
Take photos of the child doing everyday things like eating breakfast, elbows on the table, hair not yet combed; sleeping, curled up with a favorite animals or spread eagle, blankets off, bold even in sleep; doing homework, scowling over a difficult problem or with one eye on the TV. These say a whole lot about who the child is, which is way more moving than a posed photo with perfectly combed hair and a brand new outfit.
Try Shooting in Black and White
This really adds drama. Check it out. You can have black and white prints made from color negatives. You can also turn digital prints into black and white either in your camera (depending on which camera you use) or in a photo software program.
Above all, respect the child’s world. It is complex, compelling, and very, very deep.

Action Script In Photoshop?

Are you tired of doing the same task over and over, say scanning? You might be wondering whether there’s a program that will repeat the job for you. Well, there’s one, the Actions by Photoshop. Curious? Then, read on.

n action is referred to as a recording of a series of commands that is used to capture repetitive tasks. These commands are to be applied to a series of files and will guide users in a step-by-step manner. It also allows you to play back recording. Here are some techniques.

Create a new action by clicking on the Create New Action Button located at the bottom of the palette. Then, make a set by clicking the Create New Set button on the Actions palette. A dialog box will appear. In here, you must type a specific name for every set. In the Action dialog box, you should assign an action to a particular set, define a function key and apply a color.

Next is to record the action. Photoshop automatically records your steps. Every step you take will be recorded as well as the settings. If you made any mistake, you will be able to correct them later.

If you are through, click the Stop button at the bottom of the Action palette.

Check the Action so that it will function well. Make sure that it lives in a Set. It must contain at least one command. Every command must have settings associated with it and a check mark next to it.

An action can be edited. You can reorder commands, delete commands, reset a command setting, add a command in mid-stream, insert a stop, record again and troubleshoot it. To reorder command, in the Action palette, grab the command with the cursor and drag it up or down. In deleting commands, just select a command and press the Delete key. Double click on the Command in the Action if you want to reset it. To add a command in mid-stream or anywhere in the action, select the command and click the action button. Inserting a stop will allow you to apply settings to a step. To Record Again, simply select Record Again on the Actions Palette. Photoshop will allow you to reset the settings. Photoshop has a sort of diagnostic tool that will help you see what was causing the trouble in your Action.

You can play the Action in three ways. You can play it from the palette, just set your file up and click on the Play button. You can also use function keys. The dialog box will allow you to assign a function key so that you will be able to play the Action by simply pressing the key. You can use the button mode that is selected from the Actions side menu.

Techniques like this can save your time and effort.

Review: Real world Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS

Photoshop CS is no doubt the most momentous Photoshop progress which complements digital photographers. Real world Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS discusses exciting new features for general users, web designers, video editors and digital photographers. This book is authored by Bruce Fraser.

 ruce Fraser is a noted author having co-authored the penultimate Photoshop resource book Real World Photoshop from Peachpit Press. He is also a contributing editor for Mac World plus a regular contributor for CreativePro where he wrote his “Out of Gamut” articles. Fraser is also a co-author of Real World Color Management from Peachpit Press. He has also made a study of human vision and how it relates to reproducible color in photography and photomechanical reproduction. Bruce is a regular speaker and presenter at notable trade shows and conferences as well as Seybold and Thunder Lizard’s Photoshop Conferences. He has also consulted for an extensive series of major photographic and digital imaging companies.

Adobe Photoshop CS is the new version (Version 8) of Adobe Photoshop. It is a part of the newly announced Adobe Creative Suite which combines new versions of Adobe Photoshop CS with ImageReady CS, Adobe illustrator CS, Adobe InDesign CS, Adobe GoLive CS, Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional, and the new "Version Cue" file version manager, which lets you track integrations quickly and locate files easily.

Camera RAW part of Photoshop 7 Adobe Photoshop Camera RAW & JPEG 2000 Plug-in Bundle is now an integrated part of Photoshop CS. This has added substantial power to Photoshop CS. JPEG 2000 delivers superior quality for the same compression ratios. Conversely, since no camera support JPEG 2000, support is available through a separate plug-in that ships with the software.

Depending on the camera brand, Raw may come in different flavors. Adobe Photoshop CS covers most RAW formats available today. However, RAW data may not be always read accurately. For example, the white balance of Nikon Coolpix 5000 images may have unnatural result which is not a case with Nikon Capture 3.5. To fix the white balance, click in a non-specular white area followed by a minor tint adjustment. Supplementary adjustments can be made through the advanced “Calibration” tab. The “Adjust” tab controls exposure, shadow, brightness and contrast sliders. Albeit Photoshop CS features now a new Histogram Palette, the RAW dialog box also features live histograms.

Noise reduction is not a problem with Photoshop CS. It has the color noise reduction and luminance smoothing sliders which allow you to reduce colors and luminance noise. Luminance noise should be use with caution because it can lead to an artificial “water paint” effect. The noise reduction performs very well and preserves the image detail and sharpness.

To remove chromatic aberrations, apply a local desaturation in the corresponding color channels. The Lens tab of the Raw dialog box provides effective ways of eliminating these aberrations.

To have additional knowledge of Camera raw with Adobe Photoshop CS, purchase a copy of this book. It will sure enlighten the dark areas of the subject matter.
