And no matter what criteria you may be attempting to edit towards The only way I could imagine "helping" you would be if I had access to Light Table. Looking at one or two raw, unfinished samples at a time doesn't make for any sort of sane editing decisions; even if I knew what the editorial criteria and goals were; which I don't. Which is pretty much why I haven't been commenting on your Cuba photos. You're showing a very loosely edited collection of unfinished travel photographs. I simply enjoy them on that level; a simple sharing of your trip. a note off the iPad, George On Mar 20, 2015, at 9:02 PM, Tina Manley <tmanley at gmail.com> wrote: > I should make it clear that this is MY problem, not the problem of anyone > who is trying to help.
