Work-flow Stage 3

Basic Image Work-flow

Now that the image is saved as a .tiff or JPEG, we can begin the work-flow process. Some digital files appear slightly foggy or cloudy, they look like they need some punch. For this we use a step called De-Fog.

Any adjustment to an image should be created on an adjustment layer – Layer/Adjustment Layer. This lets you go back and re-adjust any adjustment you have created.

Although we don’t use this method because our work-flow is so repetitious and simplified, I had to put a small blurb about adjustment layers. (and this was it)..
