Okay you'll have to excuse my ignorance :shock: i just got my first digital camera, the canon 20D. I had been using the canon 35mm rebel. Im fine with the taking of the picture, but after that im clueless? what do i do now? if some one could walk me through step by step what they do that would help. oh also i got the canon i9900 printer. I want to make a professional album for a friend, im shooting the wedding for her. I was also going to duplicate it for my own use. Do i make it myself? do i send it to a service? HELP!!!! im overwhelmed and want to have a nice product . If i send it to a service do i have to make the pages if i want to add some extras beside just the photo?
thanks for anything that can help me.
im thriving to learn and don't know where to start :D

The 20D software should have included Photoshop Elements, which I believe is a subset of Photoshop CS, the software that I use. The main things you will use starting out are cropping, sharpening and adjusting levels. These techniques and more are covered in the sticky thread at the top of this group:

A great way to ruin a friendship is to shoot a wedding for the friend when you don't know what you're doing.

Kind of like my wife when she volunteered to videotape one of her best friend's baby showers, and did the whole thing on standby, zero recorded footage. :oops: :oops: :oops:
