The Good-The Bad-The INEFFICIENT TIME WASTER

Digital Photography Age-How cool! Today's digital darkroom is an array of RAW converters, cataloging software, plugins, photoshop actions, lightroom presets and other filters to streamline the digital "workflow" process. I know I have just lost most of you who do not lower yourself to such pixel depth- and who could blame you.

Needless to say, the digital darkroom is a wonder and jungle. Both streamlining the process and adding an extraordinary amount of time to you self imposed budget.

For instance, the four photographs below:

This first one was taken with a 2800K white balance. In other words, the cameral was adjusted to match the color of a tungsten light bulb because I had small tungsten neon light pointed at the shoes. As a result the stained glass widow became much cooler (bluer) which I new would happen-thought it might be a cool effect-you be the judge. So lets just develop the picture using a RAW converter, save as jpeg file and be done, but no-that's not good enough-lets waste some time seeing what else is possible after all we have such wonderful tools.



This next picture was adjusted to match the color of the sun shining on the window, so now you can see a little bit of the tungsten (yellowish) light on the shoes.





Then it was go through a list of filters and presets looking for another combination of development configurations that may produce a cool looking image.  This next image is similar to the first but has some punched up colors.






That's not enough. He is another adjustment to a sepia version. I would not have thought that it would of turned out since it had so much color in the original, which is what I was attacted to in the first place.







One more, of course there are hundreds of ways to develop a picture, but that would be a waste of time- or is it?
