Work out a procedure for editing your photographs, once
you have a procedure worked out you can then apply it
to all of your photograph post processing.
Here is a sample of a digital work flow,
1. Open your photograph in photoshop.
2. Crop or straighten image if required.
3. Match the white balance with actual scene.
4. Correct the exposure.
5. Adjust lighting - highlights and shadows.
6. Adjust contrast if required ( keep this value low).
7. Adjust Saturation if required (keep this value low).
8. Clarity slider adjustment (the clarity slider adjusts
both sharpness and contrast, use sparingly).
9. Save final image.
10. Duplicate image, resize, frame and sign for
uploading.
11. Save framed image.
