Best way to Integrate RSE w/ PSE3?
AlanW wrote:
I currently use PSE3 to organize all of my photos and also, to do some post processing editing. I find the Pse3 RAW plug-in to be ok but RSE is better. I like many of the features and controls of RSE for making the initial adjustments on the RAW File. I need some help with the initial workflow: 1. My downloaded images now open in Organizer and are in the Nikon ".nef" format. How can I initially get the downloaded photos to open in RSE? 2. The reason I want to open the images first in RSE is to then only import the ".tiff" files to the organizor. I notice that both the ".nef" files and the ".tiff" files are saved on the hard drive and they are large files. is this normal? Should I keep them both? I would welcome any other suggestions for a workflow that would allow me to utilize the best features of both programs. Thanks, Alan RAW files are like gold when you discover (down the road) that your color correction skills, etc. have improved over time. I've revisited years-old RAW files that I now recognize my folly in, and have oftenmanage to come up with FAR better images simply by utilizing better basic technique than I was prepared for when it was new to me. I'm not talkng about inventing an image that didn't exist, either. I'm simply talking about skill development and an eye for proper correction. It really does improve with experience, but once you've thrown away the RAW file, you're much more limited in what you can resurrect. The RAW file is like a negative. I try to always keep them unless the shot is a definite throw-away. -MarkČ -- Images (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by MarkČ at: www.pbase.com/markuson |
