So you where one of those who’d like to know how I process my photos?
I made a special screencast that shows you how I processed my latest photos from San Francisco that I posted earlier last week. I’ve chosen to use Exposure 3 from Alien Skin to process these series of photos because this plugin will add that special film look to your photos, and in my mind Film=Retro & Retro=San Francisco.
What about your special actions? I still use them but you can be so creative with a plugin that gives you hundreds of pre installed processing options. Just watch the screencast and you’ll see what I mean because I don’t use the simple 1-click apply and save option. This is a simple example of what you can do, normally I can spend hours on one photo with masking / blending / adding and removing different layers.
Here are 3 thumbnails that show u the difference between the processing techniques. The first photo is the original SOOC, the second one is the photo with a simple 1-click apply and save option, and the third photo is the one that has multiple processing layers.
Feel free to leave comments or ask questions if you’re having trouble.
Here’s the screencast, be sure to set it to the 720P mode to get a clear video.
