It's the end result that counts ,not what equipment etc that you used to get there , interesting if only done on a i.pad though . Are they from raw files or j.pegs Eric
JPEGs because iPads won't handle nef files ...at the moment (see * below)
But that's not an issue as I am not printing exhibition print....they are only being viewed on screens...so jpegs are good enough.
I spent 25+years running my photography and design company, much of the time sat in front of large screens in an office similar to Roberts setup, with controlled ambient lighting to get best editing quality out of the photographs and artwork designs. It ruined my eyes for one thing!.
But in recent years publishers and printers have drifted into digital printing presses. Cheaper, quicker, more flexible, easier to operate ....but inferior in quality to traditional litho printing, the quality of printing dropped making the lengths I was going to in finessing, pointless.
I confess I adopted an "it will do" attitude like most of the industry. You only have to go into most people houses and look at their TV set up to realise they don't appreciate true colour balance, contrast and dynamic tonal range....so who are we trying to please with our ott efforts?
But I still know some diehard agencies insisting on large format digital files... when their clients only want websites.
In truth I am holding out until next year when Adobe are releasing a full Photoshop CC version for the new iPad Pro. (* hopefully with Adobe camera raw included.)
With a 1TB onboard hard drive, much improved performance, coupled with the Apple pen for precise direct on screen editing and my WiFi external hard drive storage ......I will be able to sit in an armchair and watch the garden birds while editing.
