Adobe CS3 Photoshop Software
Well, I’ve had CS3 on my computer for almost 6 months and finally decided to load all my actions and other software onto it from CS2 and give it a go. It’s much faster and has alot of extras that are really speeding up my productivity! I also have Adobe Lightroom, but still have no idea how to use that software yet, I need hands on training. I’m the kind of person that if you show me how to do it once I remember and then I’m ok. Hand me a book that is over 1,000 pages …sorry, takes too long and will put me to sleep.
Here is a quick shot of my beautiful wife Laura working on her laptop from across the room. Shot with a Canon 5D, 70-200mm IS lens handheld at F25th/2.8 at 1600 iso. CS3 did the retouch in less than 10 seconds with one of my actions.

AfterThe lighting is provided by the laptop screen only. Who says you need expensive flashes? Oh, and Laura wants to make sure I tell you she has very little make up on and looks terrible. I think she looks pretty good for 57 years old!

she’s a knockout!
yeah…you don’t need fancy lights. just bring that laptop to your next wedding to light up the bride..haha
Bridge CS3 is a bit more user-friendly than Lightroom, cause you don’t have to import anything or keep track of make-believe albums and collections and stuff. Just browse your hard drive, organize / cull photos, and edit with a double-click. (You can edit JPG’s too, if you set it to do so in the Camera RAW preferences in Bridge.)
For color correction and basic retouching etc, Bridge is the fastest thing out there. You can’t do the Photoshop things like smooth skin and add blur effects etc, but there’s always the “Open” (in PS) button in Bridge!
