I just purchased CS4, the software I used to use was Picture It & Soap, the books I have read & the tutorials I have done on Lynda.com appear to be straight into CS4. where would I want to start as far as Adobe to learn how to do repair old pictures that are not digital that are faded out blurry & also need touch up where they have deterirated & fallen apart & still be able to get right into the CS4? would I go into Photshop 7 or would i be better starting in CS2?

I would like to know more about the little graph that is displayed on cameras and in processing softwares such as lightroom (top left in develop mode) that seems to give clues about the light intensity/contrast…

where online can i go for a tutorial, not a description, of apertures and shutter speeds. i’m finding a lot of descriptions, but not a lot of “hands on” or “try this setting in this situation” type of articles/tutorials. i’m still learning and would like to find something that would give me rule of thumb type info. i don’t have it down yet what settings to use in certain situations and would love some help with this. (sorry if this is a elementary question, but it’s one i need help with.)

hi darren,
i love photography so much but only now i am really planning to be serious on learning it. I have a canon 500D with 18-55mm IS lens and recently bought a 70-300mm tamron macro lens. I want to learn how to take photos in monochrome and keeping the main subject in color? Is this done by camera or by photo editing. Also, which lens is better sigma or tamron? I have been taking photos of anything that looks interesting but still eager to learn to use the AV and the manual settings. I have taken several photos in monochrome and find it satisfying but when its in color i am really disappointed.

I have the same questions as Choco. Irrespective of the artistic quality of my compositions, I don’t know what it is, but I feel my photos lack that professional edge. I use a Nikon D80, but still the x-factor alludes my photos.

I am perplexed as how some photos I see on the net are sharp, crisp and very vivid when I never have achieved this kind of quality despite the fact that Iâ€™m already using a 2.8f lens. Is this done through post-processing or is it the lighting technique or is it the lens?

With so many things to be concerned with, such as image size, shutter speed, focal length, etc. to ensure a good shot, I inevitably forget something! Is there any type of planning sheet (checklist) available that runs through what should be considered before taking the picture so that beginners know what questions to ask and what settings to consider? Something like a photo info sheet would be helpful until enough experience made it second nature.

I have a simple question that is driving me crazy! Could someone tell me if looking through the viewfinder or live view screen is more accurate???

Thanks.

What was photography like before the Flash Bulb was invented?
