I've been using "save for web" setting and resizing there -
is that a less-than-ideal method? Should I do all the resizing before that? (I seem to end up with fairly large files that I try to get down to 100k or so, any larger is unnecessary and foolish in a pic thread.) |

I haven't used the "save for web" setting, so I really don't know. When sizing to 800 pixels wide, the file size will be anywhere from 20kb to 150kb depending on the compression level you set after pushing "Save". The pictures above are saved on the "Medium" setting (level 5), and are around 60kb I believe. |

Gotcha.
Very similar setting in SFW. I adjust size and image quality (compression that same?) Oh yeah - that is a thoroughly bad-ass collection you have there! |
|
"It'll tickle yore innards!"

Yeah, image quality and compression is the same thing.
Thanks. It took me a while to figure how to get the pictures to looks right, but I've gotten it down to a science with the above steps. You would be amazed at how crappy they look before manipulation in photoshop. |

I know, I just got off. Love the rifle, do I spy LaRue rails? That turned out good, I wish I would have saved the scratch for the middy, but my LMT is sweet, I like it a lot. |

How do you bounce the flash like that, on a simple camera?
|
|
New York is a wonderful area, with interesting, proud, and generous people, run by totalitarians and criminals.
|
Sure do. Good to know your LMT works well and I didn't screw it up...
I did not bounce the flash at all in the first pic when using the flash on the camera. However, in the other pics, I was using an external flash that has a rotating head that I can point at the ceiling. I have heard of people using things like aluminum foil to bounce the in-camera flashes. |

First to the OP, Awesome post. Thank you very much. Ok, I just tried this following the tutorial as I have Photoshop and tool around with it sometimes. I used a simple point and shoot $100 digital camera. I put an item in the bathtub. Bathtub isn't 100% clean white. It needs to be cleaned. No biggie. It contrasted it right out and looks great with the adjustments in the tutorial. Really great info. |

|
You're very welcome. Please post the pics you took. I'd really like to see how it worked for other people. |

Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

Nice tutorial!

I tried my bathtub, but it's not a smooth surface so I couldn't get the background to wash out right(no pun intended). I took this on the kitchen counter-top, which is sort of beige. The beige background makes it look like the white balance is off, but the gun looks right I think. (ETA, I think the lack of surrounding tub loses a lot of the lighting effect)
