July 2010 Gathering

July Gathering Notes:

PhotoTalk Topic - color management:
Whether you are snapping a quick photo of your pet or a more intentional capture of your newborn child, getting the photo is only one step in the process of creating a great photo. Three color management areas to be aware of are:

• your camera setting - vibrancy, contrast, exposure compensation, white balance, ISO settings

• your computer monitor and your editing software settings
