Hello guys , am a jpeg shooter since birth and am a David Ziser fan and he recommeded shooting Jpeg in one of his tutorials, but I really want to switch, to try something new, could u guys tell me more about batching, RAW,s, Bridge, and why I should change ................

most of my die hard raw shooters switched back to jpg!

i completely batch process and am a jpg shooter!

if you are interested in batch processing while still shooting jpg email me at info@davistools.com, if not I'm sure you'll find some raw shooters who will speak up!

For processing RAW images, Adobe Lightroom is THE way to go. It makes a very speedy workflow possible.

Tell me more..............................

I really never edit any photographs I shoot, a long time ago I used to shoot slides and my exp. are 95% correct most of the time............................................................................

Ahhh. So you're The One.

i'm very slow to say anything on this forum about my own processing methods only becuase I developed and market a tool called ActionRunner. It allows you to designate as many images as you want to as many actions as you want, then you simply click "GO" and walk away. It will open photoshop, apply the designated action, save it where you designated and open the next and do the same to the next image.

I designate roughly 1000 images to multiple actions, click go and go to bed, work on my laptop for email, play with my kids, do thirst relief stuff or whatever! It's amazing. If your nailing your exposures to begin with and your actions are set for your style of shooting your ready to go! I shoot on less contrast for an even tone exposure everytime and created my actions for that type of image. It comes with my own 24 actions but you can easily add in your own.

Works with CS, CS2 and some CS3 users (some it doesn't work for, but not sure why yet.) You can check it out at www.davistools.com

I've done a shoot many times when the customer only wanted 100 photos so I took about 108 shots and all of them were of correct exps. Those were the days of film...........

Yeah I remember thinking I was getting good exposures all the time. When I switched to digital almost 8 years ago, I found out how much my lab had been doing to make me look better than I was.

you win, I am now going to RAW
