Any mac users here ?

I seem to have an issue with aperture 3. I prefer to do my editing on aperture but my general viewing on iphoto.

But I have a problem - if i edit and crop on aperture but then transfer to iphoto the photo shrinks !

i.e it is much smaller on iphoto - this is really annoying !!

Anyone had a similar problem and managed to resolve it ?

I am wondering though, how do I smoothen out the edges of an image once they back ground is cut out? I have placed the image in a new back ground but it looks like it was cut and looks odd. Most videos I have come across online, tells you how to change the back ground, but do not give info on how to smooth the edges or make the main image more natural so that it blends with the back ground well.

Is there any tutorial or tips people can please point me to or give?

http://www.zen87038.zen.co.uk/image/boat_2.jpg

I realise the image isn't the best in the world, but I am only starting out (right at the very beginning of learning) and I took this image whilst visiting the Scilly Isles (UK) with a view to selecting 3 images from the trip, and getting some small prints to frame and put on the bathroom wall (thought, Cornish beaches, sun, sea and sand would be idea for a bathroom).

I want to keep the colour in the image, but an unsure really what it needs prior to development (if any, and if I'm capable of course).

I'd love to hear what you guys tend to do before printing any of your images.

Many thanks, ]]> Post Processing and Image Editing Oblit3ration http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=258088 http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=258084&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 08:54:25 GMT I need an image blown up to be 3 feet wide. It is a raw image I have but I'm not sure how to blow it up without losing too much quality, I understand the bigger the image the further back you view it from though. What I'm getting at though is, is it just a matter of changing the 'crop size' in camera raw? Or is it best to open the raw up as a CR2 and just do the image size thing?

Confusion reigns, please help.

Thanks,
Brian. ]]> Post Processing and Image Editing Bazza http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=258084 http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=257843&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:45:26 GMT Does anyone here use the web module in LR and specifically the Flash player template?

I have taken only two shots, one exposing for the sky, one for the foreground - ruling out HDR (to be honest I don't have much success with CS4's HDR programme as the images always seem poor when processed).
I have tried copying the foreground onto a new layer and using the history bush to bring through the correctly exposed sky, but I always have problems with alignment being ever so slightly off, taking ages to realign correctly. Once aligned the join line between the exposures always looks poor and obvious.
Can anyone please suggest whether I am tackling this correctly or whether there is a better method.

Many Thanks

As I've not been home at any point when it's been on I've never viewed it or submitted anything to it however last year someone apparently had a photo that was "enhanced" in photoshop and one of the judges was not happy about it.

This year they wanted someone to submit some work that has been "enhanced" to show what is possible, someone in my family volunteered me for this task yet to be honest I have no idea what I'm really supposed to be doing. I asked the event organiser too and they didn't really understand it either, just that one of the judges wasn't happy.

To me post-processing an image is all part of the job, after reading around on here there are different levels of post processing from contrast/levels/sharpness etc to colour altering/object removal. They want one photo to show what can be done but I'm tempted to do it in 2, one of them with the usual adjustments then another with addition/removal to further "enhance" the image to try and stir up some debate. I'm fairly new with photography as I just shoot what I like and I've never really taken any advice/opinions from anyone so I'm jumping in the deepend with this a bit (also explains why my postcount is so low on here :( )

As there's a lot of experienced people on here how do you reckon I should approach this? ]]> Post Processing and Image Editing Steeps http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=257329 http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=257191&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:35:50 GMT I've installed it but wont merge the images - tries then falls over after about 2 m ins with error message.
