Digital photography & design software: Digital photo editing workflow
Digital photo editing workflow
by Stephen2217 - 7/2/09 11:59 AMYou want to edit an image to print. It needs cropping and pixel-altering image corrections/adjustments, like histogram adjust, contrast adjust, noise-reduction, sharpening, etc.
Which is correct -- cropping first, then doing the pixel-altering stuff? Or vise-versa? I've actually read info saying one way is right, others saying the other way is correct, and other info saying it doesn't matter, either way is OK and gives the same outcome. I don't believe this.
One of the more advanced editing sw I have says do the crop first then the pixel-changing stuff, and that's how I've done it, but I've never been thoroughly convinced of the correct procedure and why, because I don't know digital image theory.
Anyone?
I don't think the order of edits matters

Keep in mind that editing an image with a lossy compression format, such as JPG, will degrade the image each time it is saved. TIFF is a good format to edit in, then you can save to JPG when you are done.
