Thanks for the input.
My delima is I’m new to the web portfolio thing (think photoshelter). If I’m shooting an event (e.g. retirement pary), sizing is not such a concern – I know who will view the pictures and the normal sizes for print. But for work that could be viewed by anyone and picked for any medium I’ve no experience.
Just for clarification, here’s what I’m doing currently… is this in-line with what ya’ll have described?
COPY 1 – The ORIGINAL file. Unedited, straight from the camera, never to be modified.
COPY 2 – The “CORRECTED” file. “Basic” & minor corrections, whatever it may need to “pull the image” out from the camera’s recording… NO RESIZING, and no over the top photoshop.
COPY 3 – The PORTFOLIO file, for display on a portfolio website (e.g. photoshelter, smugmug, etc). RESIZED for web publishing, occasionaly liberties taken via additional editing to add effect or mood.
Any risks with this methodology?
