I have read it for the 1.st time in http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=41007

Well, Antonio,

That is generous for sharing. I think the fact that you are working in Lab is important. Especially eparating brightness and saturation.

That however, is too simple an exp[lanation for the very clean look.

I'd like to see others share too!

Ok, just to please Asher ;-)

1. Autodownload from cardreader using Zoombrowser, into shooting date folder.
2. Open Rawshooter and label with star or not at all.
3. Press Alt Gr + E (with AutoHotkey), to have a AutoExposure too start with.
4. Set Black and White point, if the histogram is off.
5. Adjust Fill Light and Highlight, if necessary.
6. Batchdevelop into a folder called Developed/shooting date (*.jpg).
7. Open PS CS2 and batchprocess all thats intended for the web, using an action that scales down and sharpens.
8. Save to a temporary webfolder.
9. Select all pictures in the temporary webfolder and rightclick, choose upload.

And somewhere inbetween all that, I start Imatch and tag my raws with keywords.
