Getting the best photos

[drandy]

I have seen so many D60 galleries from links within this website and I continue to be amazed vs. my pictures. I am also realizing that the secret to many of these outstanding photos is the "post processing" of the RAW images. I am now trying to learn fast about digital workflows.

I have just purchased BreezeBrowzer and am experimenting with that. The next stage seems to be key, ie the imaging software. I have Paint Shop Pro 7 and Photoshop 6. I am intrigued by Pekka's algorithm which everyone seems to be using. What do I need to do here? Must I have Photoshop 7? Is it straightforward to import his algorithm? Is it easy to use? Any good websites that I might also check out to help me on my way.

Sorry for the basic questions.

Go for PS7 as many actions are designed for that version. Read allyou can about workflow on site, start with one and make your own adjustments. There is no golden rule!
Post a picture that you think is optimal and ask for critique and may be people want to optimize that pic in PS to show you the way.

Good luck

However I cannot comment on its value since I am a complete beginner.
