Well my question is, "Why would you even bother to count them?" When I take an image I now have an idea of what I want the final product to become. I use what I need to make it happen. Sometimes I go through old files and look back at old work. Time often gives me new ideas with an old image and I have a new final outcome in mind again before I start. Again I use what I need to make it happen. Sometimes while working on an image I find in adjusting this or that a totally new area to explore. These can be fun. Try a filter here, adjust this, redo that, but this time I have no idea what the final print will be till its done. Sometimes I am rewarded with a surprise image that I call one of my happy accidents. More often I have learned something about what adjusting this does to an image and it gets filed away for the next time I get to go take pictures. Counting how many wouldn't cross my mind. It's all a part of the education of a photographer, which ends when the breathing stops. --- On Sat, 7/19/08, Gregory <fyrframe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Gregory <fyrframe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: How many techniques? > To: "List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students" <photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Saturday, July 19, 2008, 8:43 PM > I'm curious if anyone would think it an interesting > theme for a future > gallery to offer up images that hold the highest number of > techniques such > as levels, filters, layers, masks, etc.? > > For me, I think the most "techniques" in > photoshop I have used is about 4. > This could translate I guess to either an image almost > excellent from the > start, but more likely a less than profound > imagination._grin > > Take care out there, > Gregory > www.fireframeimaging.com > www.ebbtidegalleryofgifts.com > http://soundexposure.org
