Any help is appreciated!
When you import your images, copying and working them as DNG and backing up as DNG saves room and gives you the same latitude as a RAW file does. In case you didn't knowbdconrail29 wrote:I'm with Mike on this one. If you are primarily doing photography only, and shoot in RAW, I would simply work in Lightroom. You can do a lot if you know how to use all of the features. However, I also own Bridge and CS6, because I have to do some heavy editing, and CS6 is way, way more powerful than I'll probably ever realize. My workflow is LR first, then heavier editing in PS if need be. I edit my RAW file in LR, save as TIF, then work with it in PS, if I need to. For wedding photography typically I'd use ACR/PS combo or LR/PS combo. For railfanning, which I hardly ever spend much time editing RAW's there, I use LR/PS combo, quickly.

Only 100?? I get 200-300 meg photoshop files while working on 300dpi JPG images!bdconrail29 wrote:
I guess I get stuck in my ways. You're absolutely right though, some of those TIFS can get 100MB!!
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a $25 gift card from Barnes & Noble last Christmas that I haven't used yet. Sounds like a good reason to use it now.I bought Martin Evening's Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Photographers. THAT is an awesome book, not because I didn't know how to use PS on a general level, but because this book teaches you to take advantage of all of the features of the program, which, are far more than you'd ever imagine.
200-300 MB??? Holy crap! I think if you do get the book you'll like it. I was considering PS6 for Dummies because well, but then I had to convince myself that I wasn't really a dummy, until I read Evening's book and that thought was quickly turned aroundJ T wrote:Only 100??

Using layers builds up the file size quickly! I often have 5-10 layers created when processing images.bdconrail29 wrote: 200-300 MB??? Holy crap!
