Sounds good, only thing I would change is sharpening. I use 2 sharpening tools that are indispensable. 1st - pixelgenius.com has a terrific PS plug-in called PhotoKit sharpener. It's the most reliable sharpening workflow I have used. Check out the demo. I use it mainly for capture sharpening and then again for print sharpening. As an example, I use "digital med rez" and "medium edge sharpen". These are recommended for portraits of med rez digicams (4-8 MP). For the D2x you would probably use "high rez". This is the tip of the iceberg for the tool - it handles just about every sharpening need with some powerful tools that are easy to use.pbenedic said:for posting to pbase.
Shoot RAW, adobe RGB II.
Open in PSCS, with NC converter.
Levels, curves, etc.
Resize to 850 pixels width.
Convert to sRGB.
USM, like....100, 1, 4
Save as JPEG 10.
Thoughts??
Now that's a cute shot of your daughter. My girlfriend barely ever poses up for me. Too bad my nieces and nephews live in another state, they're like my favorite test subjects! Well done!Joe Marques said:Here's a shot with smaller details that still looks very sharp on pbase:

Thanks Gordon. I use FM's Custom Sharpen Pro once in a while - it's a nice quick fix when the shot is a tad blurry and I want stronger sharpening. I know his Intellisharpen II is a far more powerful tool. You should try pixelgenius and compare to FM's method - I'd be curious to hear your impressions.greyflash said:Hi Joe,
I too use Fred Miranda's WP Pro for downsizing my prints and think it is super. I have been using Fred's Intellisharpen II but will look into pixelgenius as I am always in the market for things that make my job easier. By the way, love the images of your daughter. Very nice as always.
Thanks very much Jonathan. My daughter loves the camera so she's always a willing model (lucky for me).Jonathan F. said:Now that's a cute shot of your daughter.
