Resending cuz something weird happened to the subject line before....
On 5/10/03, [EMAIL PROTECTED] disgorged: >I'm not yet an accomplished Photoshop person, and looking in my >Photoshop 5 manual, I don't see "optimizing." >What it is, please? >I know of file name optimizing. Is that it? >Or, more likely, is it optimizing colors? My GraphicConverter app can do >that, so perhaps that's the optimization to which you refer... When I refer to optimising (UK spelling, so forgive me ;-) I simply mean 'processing' the image so that it meets certain criteria that I have based on personal taste. To wit: open pic, apply curves, apply unsharp mask, crop, save. This alters the shot by giving it good contrast and color levels, sharpens things up a bit (amount dependent on ISO setting and purely personal preference), and frames the pic to my liking. It has now been optimised to get what I consider to be the best out of the shot. I always have the unaltered original to go back to if I wish, and i have done on some occasions. You can use any application that you like that allows the pic to be changed to meet your own criteria.
