Trying to keep up with Technology today is like trying to keep up with an Intercity 125 whilst dragging a pallet of bricks.

But one thing that everyone try’s to keep up with is new ideas and processes that help us to produce images. I am constantly reading every bit of material I can lay my hands on regarding posing and processing, lighting techniques and modifier’s. So many people are producing great new ways of posing subjects, modifying light and processing there images.

With all the new ideas and processes it means that although your basic camera equipment may stay the same for a year or two, your workflow becomes an ever evolving beast writhing and growing as time passes by.

Is this a good thing always changing your processes? producing more and me workflow actions and shortcuts?. I guess that is a question that can only be answered by the person spending the time processing all the images.

I know that for every new process I find, digest and manipulate to fit into my workflow it reduces the workload and shaves back time that would of otherwise been lost staring at a screen trying to add that something special to the image in front of me.

So when you are next at a loose end sitting in front of you computer or travelling on a train, why not try and find some information on a new editing process you have heard about or maybe a tutorial for a process that you have not yet mastered.

Hopefully you will be able to keep ahead of, or at least abreast of the techniques and keep your images looking up to date and as good as the next persons……..
