Not sure whether this will interest any of you or not, but just felt like sharing some of my thoughts through the post-processing stage of photography as have been getting a few emails from people lately about this.
The key to any post-processing is a good canvas on which to start from - this means you need to get it as "right" as you can in camera. Of course, using RAW formats make this a lot more forgiving, but I still believe it's a good thing to aim for! The less post-processing you do, the better quality your photo is also. Of course, that also depends on how creative you want to get. I'm not saying my images are anywhere near "right" in camera - actually I think there's still a long way for me to go there and I do get lazy quite often! It's still something I try to aim for anyway. Composition's probably the one thing you can't get away so easily with being lazy on :)
Left to Right, the top photograph is the original RAW photo without any adjustments. In my opinion (for what I like) the photo is flat and there's very little contrast between the bamboo and the middle tree, which is something I wanted to highlight, as when I was there, it's what struck me the most about the scene. The photo on the right was my first attempt at post-processing this image and I didn't like it. The colours just didn't do it for me, and the more I did, the worse it got! I also felt it was all too busy as the bamboo is a very strong feature with too much detail. The image just feels a bit uninteresting - there's nothing in particular that intrigues the viewer. I decided to leave the image and come back to it later, starting again from scratch.
The bottom two images are the ones I've posted on this photostream. The B&W attempt was born out of having been so disappointed with my first colour attempt. I felt I needed to just try something completely different as wasn't sure how to make the most of the bamboo without it being totally overpowering. I think this B&W stage helped me reorganise and refresh my outlook on processing a colour version (I find B&W tends to do that, for me at least). The final colour image is what I've finished with - it's not as "realistic" as it could maybe have been, but I've decided that this interpretation gives the effect I wanted. For me, it's intriguing and enchanting, which is honestly what I felt, being there (even though it didn't exactly look like that!). This image ended up being a lot more complex to process than I first thought - probably a lot to do with the weird lighting the bamboo gives, and the texture of it.

The fact an SVG image is an xml document comes handy. In the past our workflow has been defined by the icon theme spec. We worked on individual files for every icon size. That becomes problematic when you tweak an aspect of an icon and you have to keep the change in sync with the other versions (It shows itself in the tango-icon-theme emoticons, where you have clearly different colors between the various sizes).
During the suse hackweek I've cooked up a php script that would take a two-layer SVG, where in one layer there would be rectangles defining the size and the other the actual artwork and call inkscape to render the objects into PNGs.
And since I'm now working in a team that deals with ROR a lot, I've found a scripting language that I very much like, ruby. I'm no hacker, but man do I love the simplicity of it.

Discover My New Portrait Editing Workflow!
In this series, I’m sharing the before and after of my portraits to show how my editing process has evolved.
The RAW photo: I always start with a clean, well-lit image to have a solid base.
Editing with Evoto AI: Then I use Evoto to refine the skin naturally and efficiently, preserving texture and authenticity.
Final touches in Photoshop: Finally, I make color adjustments and fine-tune the look for a harmonious result.
If you’d like to learn more about my experience with Evoto, you can read the full article on my blog.
I hope this inspires you and gives you new ideas for your own portrait retouching!

Cannes is a city located on the French Riviera. It is a commune located in the Alpes-Maritimes department, and host city of the annual Cannes Film Festival, Midem, and Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The city is known for its association with the rich and famous, its luxury hotels and restaurants, and for several conferences. On 3 November 2011 it hosted the 2011 G20 summit [Wikipedia.org]
It all starts with contributes uploading or creating a new document for collaboration. A collaborator is a group or people responsible for selecting the appropriate document from “uploads” folder, store them in them in “working-document” folder and work on them. Once the document is ready to be published document is sent to the “request for approval” folder where an approving authority is notified.
Approving authority can approve or disapprove the document. It may go back to the “working document” if disapproved with a notification to the collaborator(s). If approved the document moves to the “Approved version” folder and can be published in a desired format (pdf/doc/html) and location (published folder/intranet site/social networking site) as per the predefined rule set.
All these roles and workflow can be re-fined and redefined based on the business process. This is an example workflow and was created for basic understanding of a document workflow.

Then I do the same for the water area. Note that at this point this image is very similar to by 0EV capture—no surprises there. This was what I saw when I photographed this photo. I do HDR not for effect, but just so that I can have some details on the shadow area.
At this point you see that really there is not much color to this scene. In fact, they stand to distract the overall image, so I removed it. Here since I have been working in Lab mode I just quickly removed the color channels or just removed the color saturation. If I work with images filled with color I usually would use the channel mixer in RGB mode or use the black and white tweaking modules inside Lightroom. But as you can see there is not much color in this image to start with so I can simply just remove the color saturation.
After importing back into Lightroom, I tweak things further as I feel that I can still get some more details in the shadow area. If I were inside Photoshop I would do a image-wide shadows/highlights tweak but since Lightroom version 4 there is this new Clarity parameter which works very well in manipulating local contrast so I used it.
And that’s it. But remember, every single image is different. This is not a recipes. There are no rules. Now go have some fun!
Cheers.
