I agree... most raw photos can be at least slightly enhanced with some judicious use of adjustment layers in photoshop. For example, levels and saturation adjustments can make a tremendous difference. I will have some time today/tonight if you'd like to send me some photos I can touch them up and optimize them for you. I'm not that good at creating my own art, but I'm very good at doing touch-ups. You can send me the photos directly in your highest resolution jpg (least compression) or png (10 MB max) and I'll send them back to you optimized. I'm in central time zone (GMT - 6) and will have some free time between 9:00am and 11:00 am this morning and after 9:00 pm tonight. I can usually optimize a photo in less than 5 minutes (major exception being poor scans), so if you want to send me 10 - 20 I should be able to get them done. If you can do this yourself then I'd upload them to the art site in jpg format with the least compression. For example, in photoshop you can set the compression level to 12 (the highest setting) and you will rarely see a jpg artifact, even on text. -- Matthew Nuzum www.bearfruit.org -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
