AfterCon: Photo queue and stuff
12 years ago
I haven't edited any Eurofurence photos so far because I had shit to do in the weeks after EF. Right now I'm at Fantasy Film Fest which AWESOME! It'll end this thursday. Expect some nice images after that :)
To reduce time needed for editing those convention photos, I'll this time use a) my trusty graphics tablet and b) some fresh new plugins (for masking and color correction and stuff)! This includes the NIK collection (because it's both awesome and cheap) and probably onOne Software Perfect Photo Suite because they complement NIK really good.
I will especially use Perfect Mask from OnOne, but might be tempted to try ReMask from Topaz, because it's easier to use. On the other hand, Perfect Mask works with Lightroom, so I wouldn't have to break my workflow there. Huge advantage.
Since last Confuzzled, I always edit all uploaded fursuiter photos. I remove badges and other people in the photo. In the past that once meant to spend over 3 hours working on a single photo. Totally worth it, but the process was tedious and I did that using the touchpad of my Macbook as I couldn't find my graphics tablet back then :p Removing blurred fur from other suiters and replacing it with something else isn't fun.
So those things will change. I'm definitely looking forward as those plugins will make the entire process much more enjoyable and quicker!
