Comments on: Announcing Digital Darkroom Quarterly http://timgrey.com/blog/2007/announcing-digital-darkroom-quarterly/ Thoughts on Photography, Digital Imaging, and Travel Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:20:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: David Jenkins http://timgrey.com/blog/2007/announcing-digital-darkroom-quarterly/#comment-87 David Jenkins Mon, 22 Oct 2007 05:10:29 +0000 http://timgrey.com/blog/?p=3#comment-87 I loved the 2nd Edition. I teach photographers Photoshop, not teach Photoshop, (hope you see the SUBTLE difference ), your straight forward and easy to understand tuts on using photo filter effects in 2nd ed, gave me some insights into the methods I teach. Not that the world needs another 26 ways to do the same thing in Photoshop, but having a good understanding of the options gives those who are simply wanting to make improvements to bring out the image the way it was seen when the shutter was clicked. Many times it is not 'rescuing' yet another under/over exposed pic, but bringing out the fine details, providing contrast against the background, trimming the color in the grass or sky, and finding the luminesence in the skin tones that were so inspiring at the moment of capture or perhaps the majic play of light along the light/shadow line. I am sure you have plenty of examples and stories that will help the photographer move from the controls of the chemical darkroom to the thrill of finding the same controls and more for the digital darkroom. Keep 'em coming. As you say in the intro, it now time for us to leave aside the 'how techie' approach and begin to use the tools to expand the fields of photography we choose to work in.

This publication is as good as it can gets and my even top the excellent books you have been providing us. Thanks a million - especially for the great review of using digital filters in PSC3.

As a ddq veteran, I won't be easily confused, but will others? More power to you in any case!! Tim,

This is just one more way you are helping me move forward in the digital world. It all started several years ago at the Lepp Institute in your digital work flow class. After that it was the Digital Image and several of your books that have kept me on track. Now I can look forward to the DDQ! I do not know where you find the time but I am certainly glad you do. Thank you again! Jeff Hey Tim,

I just received the first issue of DDQ. It's a WOW, thank you very much. Though I have read most of your books and read your answers to questions on your email site this is a great resource as it answers questions in yet another manner that helps make complicated thing easier to understand.

Interesting content and a spectacular job of editing. It is evident that whoever was responsible for editing the content took their time and did a very thorough and complete review.

But after reading this first post, I can see where there is insightful and useful information that will appear in a more direct, conversational style. I know I've relied on your knowledge and expertize, ever since I took a class with you at the Lepp Institute. Thanks for sharing with all of us photo nuts. Any early thoughts on the new Canon 40D?

The last thing I need is a whole set of camera functions on my phone. (flash functions, ISO, WB, scene modes, and such). Call me old-fashioned, but one of these days I'd like to pick up an electronic device that doesn't have any menus. There should only be just one button on every device to activate the thing.
