Quality In > Quality Out
I live that phrase! In my office-life it is all about 300DPI+, high-res, uncompressed, EPS original please –or else. Putting together my photography portfolio (most of which comprises of photos taken in the last 2 years or so) its amazing how you can stretch the old ‘quality in/out’ rule when it comes to publishing online. In the last few years I’ve been shooting everything JPEG at the Highest setting; now this is important kids- why? Because you may want to print your photos someday and for that you need as many pixels as you’ve got. Only recently have I started with RAW files- which has some amazing processing options I’ll talk about another day.
Shooting in RAW, worrying about the highest quality sensors, lenses and tripods (at times) its amazing that I find myself including a few photos from my old Sony handycam thing, a few photos have made it to the portfolio taken on my little Panasonic Lumix and even one from my iPhone! I’ve recovered a photo or two from over-exposure and dust with photoshop, but I don’t think there’s a extreme amount of editing in there, I just noticed one photo (taken from a 35mm scan) has made it completely untouched, un-cropped even for about 5 years, that’s in! Not quite finished- I’ll keep you up to date. See if you can spot the image that I’ve included taken on my iPhone, is it obvious?
