one of the first few shots with my first digital camera<div></div>

<p>gimmick</p>

<p>as everyone said, DO NOT touch the original... in fact I have recently started by backing up the images to an external driver before I even look at them. that makes it physically impossible to accidentally mess things up beyond repair.</p> <p>for me I immediatley crop / size to 12 x 18 for a couple reasons. big enough to see properly and the aspect ration is good to print 4 x 6 at the local Quicky Mark or make bigger for framing.</p> <p>I will use that 12 x 18 as it is, or name it as TEMPLATE once the photoshopping is done. If further cropping etc is done I can always revert back to the template since I can rarely remember how I made any photoshop adjustments years later.</p> <p>to make is web-able ( if there is such a word ) just save as and only change the resolution.</p> <p>no fancy tricks here, just been there, done that mistakes and lessons learned.</p>
