What I've found from "fixing" things in Photoshop is that in many cases that I've learned specifically *what* is wrong with an image by noting what I had to do to correct it. Then I can apply this knowledge to my shooting in the future to avoid the *need* for Photoshop corrections. Sometimes the things to be learned are quite subtle, and yet have profound effects. So, used as a learning tool, "fixing it in Photoshop" can be a valuable way of preventing the need for Photoshop fixes in the future. That said, none of this really applies to this specific case, which is a simple matter of framing. You just look at it and say "Gee, I think I'd frame this to show more of the bottom of the mug" and move on. I imagine the mug will still be available for a re-shoot tomorrow if desired :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
