Digital Workflow

Capture Images with a digital camera

Capture your images using the highest resolution possible JPEG format or Camera RAW format
if it is available on your camera.

Transfer Your Photos (get images from your camera/card/scanner into your computer), if getting
images from an SD card, use the slot underneath the disk drive on the right of the computer, if
transferring directly from the Camera to the computer via USB, use the Mac program Image
Capture.

Organize Your Pictures in Bridge (rate the good ones, delete the bad ones, rename images etc)

Open the image in Photoshop

Convert RAW Files (if you’ve shot in RAW convert them to a regular format after doing some
basic editing of white balance, exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation etc)

Initial Crop and Straightening of the picture if necessary.

Clean up and Enhance (clone out problems, manipulate the image in any way that changes
elements of your shot)

Adjust Contrast (using Levels palette to get full range of tones)

Adjust Color Balance (if needed use Levels, Curves, Color Balance or Variations to tweak your
color balance).

Adjust Saturation or Vibrance if needed

Save the Final Image as a Photoshop file. This file should be relatively large in size (above 10 mb)Then change your images to a 72 ppi file under 5 mb. Save that version using JPEG.
