Workflow Technique #112 @Digital Outback Photo:

All master photographers we know use Photoshop layers to perform selective corrections to their images. A friend of mine even stated that he feels “guilty” if there are only a few layers in the file because then he thinks he may not have gotten the most out of the photo.

Now with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 out in the market (2/19/2007) many ask why they would need Photoshop and/or LightZone in addition to Lightroom. The short answer is: Because many images benefit from selective editing. Lightroom 1.0 and most other RAW converters do not support layers or selective editing.

Note: Yes, we know Nikon Capture NX can do this too but right now we find the workflow in NX a bit too tedious.

This new series of articles will show cases where selective editing can help to improve photos.

(a nice look at why photoshop and lightzone are still useful tools, and a good working example of this kind of partial cleanup)
