On Shooting with Camera Raw

Using Camera Raw in Adobe Photoshop CS and CS2 gives you greater

control over how you want your image to look. You can adjust tonal

range, contrast, tint and even desaturate! It's an incredible tool for improving

your photos! I would recommend reading up on this first. A good way to start

is to get the magazine Photoshop User. Make sure your digital camera

has a Camera Raw setting. Then experiment!

Rich Seiling of West Coast Imaging spoke to a group at CSU Fresno Monday evening about

the art of photography using photoshop. Mr. Seiling has a broad photographic background

including photojournalism, commercial and fine art photography.

He states: "Digital is a powerful tool for distribution." Rich uses a mac G5 and

Adobe Photoshop CS2, but he also shoots 4x5 sheet film and works in the darkroom

using zone system printing. He adds, "Let the picture speak for itself."

Rich Seiling is dedicated to making the finest photographic prints possible. Check out
