- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
oh, and i will probably never print it either. So both shooting raw and that forty minutes is truly a waste of time. I gotta stop doing that....Especially if i don't think i will print it. No point in editing a photo you aren't going to print anyway. WTH am i even thinking... Forty minutes gone......... i could have been jerking off or something...

i have a couple custom presets in nikon capture. i also, admittedly, have mentioned many times i have serious workflow and processing ignorance. It was just a portrait. uploaded in n2 bw conversion. Transferred to nikon capture. Played iwth the curves. Didnt like the skin and eyes, uploaded again in elements. didnt work it ruined it. Transferred to nik collection. By then i about had it. Looked worse when i finished then when i started.. Was playing with the artistic side too. So kind of wanted something "different". shot it with a standard two light setup 30mm dialed down flash 400 iso with the idea of a soft nice color. Think it went down hill when i decided i wanted to see what i could do with it in bw for something other than a normal portait shot. so really my own fault. i shot it one way suddenly i thought "hey i wonder if...." and it went down hill from there...i spent forty minutes on one last night and i still don't like it. Too many options for edits. If i just shot it jpeg i would have saved forty minutes of my life.
Um, it's not a requirement to apply every option.
But I gotta ask.... what options are you trying to do that the camera somehow magically does better?
Also, are you using custom presets?
