Title: Photo salvation "scrap"
Post by: boneaddict on January 26, 2013, 10:07:10 AM: I don't like to post process. I literally mostly post what I take, adjusting size and occasionally light balance at best. These two were really out of funk with lighting, so played a little. I still don't like how they turned out, but love the deer so what the heck.

I've been messing around with adjusting the brightness and contrast on my hunting videos and it has helped out a lot. Can you suggest any other settings to mess with; maybe saturation?

Try doing all adjustment as layers and then save the "new image" in PSD that will leave your original as is for future use. Just a FYI.

You can save your originals with CS. CS only adjusts a copy of your original that you import into the software from your hard drive, the original is never touched. :twocents:
