Post Processing Gaming

Once you use it for your photography post processing you can't go back

No more guessing, facilitates post processing.

As a photographer, Lr & Ps are the 2 primary apps I use for most all post processing.

This keyboard shows you a lot of the keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop which makes post processing a lot faster.

The gradation is gentle and has a moderate glow effect. It is an effect that is difficult to reproduce with post-processing.

Works as expected...and with cameras today being able to handle very high ISO, and post-processing noise removal, I can still shoot handheld at reasonable shutter speeds.

The products which come with Creative Cloud are Bridge, Lightroom and Photoshop. All my photos are shot in RAW and processed in Lightroom. Before this purchase I had not used Lightroom. I found it easy to navigate and become familiar with. The other plus is if you don't know how you can find plenty of examples on youtube of post processing in Lightroom. I would say the results of my post processing with Lightroom has elevated my photography to a new degree. I use Bridge to pull my Raw files from my camera to my PC. I mostly use the file Batch Rename feature and don't think i would want to live without this. Also searching and organizing my old photos has become much simpler with Bridge. Bridge has quickly found a home in my workflow and I've only scratched the surface on its functionality. I've used Photoshop the least, but when I have used Photoshop it served its purpose. I would like to become better at using Photoshop, but that takes time. Originally i thought the downside would be paying the yearly subscription, but after using it and getting updates throughout this past year I find it comforting that I can easily keep up with the latest upgrades to the software.

Post processing is wonderful--but nothing replaces a properly exposed film or digital negative. To get this, one must often reduce the sky brightness to match the content. This is the basis of a balanced image. The Cokin P-series, combined with the proper holder and matching lens rings gets this essential thing done. The high-resistant to scratching optical resin glass serves well with moderate care. A standard accessory in any well rounded photographers kit.

The Fujifilm X-T3 is an amazing digital camera. I was looking for something to compliment my Sony A7RIV that wasn't a full-frame sensor and that had a bit of character, some nostalgia in its functions, and a camera that allowed me to express myself a little more through the lens and not through post-processing. The autofocus is so fast and the colors are to die for. I shoot RAW with my A7RIV and I shoot JPG with the X-T3 so the post-processing time is cut in half and I find myself hardly edting anything at all from the X-T3. I'm really into the film simulations (one of the main reasons I got this camera.) I don't like achieving the look in post. I want to go see it and shoot it in real time and you can honestly do that with the X-T3. It takes a certain person to want this camera and I know it is capable of so much more than I will use it for. I'm not into video too much but I did mess around with some 4K video and it is exceptional and sharp, and again...the film simulations are amazing. The 18-55mm kit lens is fine, trust me. I shoot with Gmaster glass on my Sony and in a blind test I almost like the images from the X-T3 More. It's that good. It's the color and the mood I was after that Sony just doesn't provide right out of the camera. Get an X-T3, you won't regret it for a second. Do keep in mind this is not the best tool for shooting in the dark. Full-frame sensors will fair much better in low-light situations but in the right hands you can get creative and still have fun! Go take picture!

Hadn't ever worked with a graduated ND filter, but this makes life so much easier and post-processing time so much shorter.
