Should I get a new computer?
October 12, 2008
I suspect maybe, possibly, the color saturation and highlights being lost thing has something to do with my mac. And I just can’t post a picture here until this problem is solved because what appears on the blog will not be indicitave of the work I put into each photograph.
Should I just buy a new computer (remember my hard drive crashed so I’m essentially working off a blank shell of a computer)? A Dell? As far as I’m concerned every computer is going to explode within a year anyway, so I might as well just get a Dell full of amenities (big hard drive, tons of ram, etc) that will still be cheaper than the cheapest Macbook. I miss the PC world, honestly. What would you do?
Serious help needed from the internet!

Hi Internet (photography bloggers particularly),
I really need your help. About half the time I take a photograph, photoshop it, then post it to the web, the detail and colors are totally washed out. It’s as if I didn’t photoshop it at all.
I already tried: assigning the sRGB color profile. I already tried save for web on high quality settings. What Am I Missing?!
Oh, I will add that the color change is most prominent when I use photomatix to make an HDR photo. The HDR qualities are completely lost when I open the photograph in firefox. I use a mac, and I’m using the trial version of photoshop (I know, don’t judge). I shoot with a Canon Rebel xsi.
Can someone please tell me what I’m missing? I’d be so very grateful. Until then I’m too embarrassed to put up any of my pictures because let’s face it without photoshop they’re pretty crappy.
Ever yours,
T

Dead, gone
September 18, 2008
My harddrive officially crashed last night along with all my photographs so I’d say it’ll be about over a week before I’m able to post again. I don’t think I’ll be able to recover any of my data (unless someone wants to donate $1000 for a clean room recovery).
Having no computer is an indescribably weird feeling, like I’ve reverted to my past when I only had a desktop that I’d occasionally use and when my life lied in things other than my electronics. It’s good to get away from the radiation and laziness I suppose, but I feel so disconnected from the world. What if I get an urgent email?? And I’m not able to respond until the next day?! Yeah okay maybe this crash is good for me after all. Til then,
Yours,

This has a delightful old feeling to it. The kid’s outfit kind of tricks me into thinking its one of those full body suits of the early 20th century. All he needs is an adorable little sailor hat. Speaking of which, how do you feel about hat girl in the right corner? Necessary or distracting?
P.S. (I sat up straight and this photo looked so washed out, but when I sat back in my chair and slouched it looked the way I meant it to–darker, more shadows). So the lesson today is, utilize bad posture while viewing these photos)
All out of good ideas
