TGGRRR (Ali) Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Looks like you and GREMLIN had fun! That Canon shoots some nice images. If you ever do want anything processed just let me know. We need to do another photo shoot day. I'd like to find an industrial park for some really fun urban types of shots.

cmcveay Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Mike - if you are looking for simple photo editing, you can save a boat load of money by using GIMP. It's free, open source and it's pretty darn good. After that, the next step would be Adobe Photoshop Elements. I'm not certain but I think Picassa has some image editing capabilities too. Like Ali, I'm using CS6 because I'm going into greater detail and I need what it brings to the game. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

However, Elements is pretty decent for a consumer product. I still say if your'e going to shoot a lot, get Lightroom!!! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
RyanMBlue Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Lightroom is great [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
minime331 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 +1 for light room if youre doing basic photo editing its great. and if you are a student you get it for cheaper which is always good got mine for 100 bucks compared to 200 photoshop is 200 compared to 400. student discounts rock STella- 14' Focus ST Roush CAI, Cobb access port stage1 tune, custom Ptuning 3" exhuast, Levels FMIC, Turbosmart BOV, rally armor mud flaps, more to come.
cmcveay Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 LR has basic photo editing abilities but it's not meant for that purpose. It's kind of like building spreadsheets in Word and documents in Excel. LR is a workflow management tool that happens to have those basic editing tools. Elements is a much more powerful editing application that will meet or exceed the needs of about 75% of the people out there. I still say GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) is a very viable option and if ya don't like it, it didn't cost anything. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

None of those locations are very far. I found last year that you don't want a big geographical distance just because we all get excited and take lots of time at each stop. Maybe if we did the Woodbridge, Springfield, Ft Belvoir areas which are all pretty close. Set it up Mike!!!! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

I'd like to organize a shoot, but the way I find locations is by driving around and getting lost. I spent about 4 hours driving around yesterday, I went from Woodbridge all the way into D.C. I'm going to see if I can get access to the Lorton Prison where I had my last shoot. 03 BRG MINI S: Sold! 05 PW Scion xB: D2 Coilovers, XXR 531 16x8, Yakima rack, Yakima basket, WINK, Plaid interior, and a whopping 108 HP!
