I would like to make some extra money assisting photographers in retouching photos using Photoshop CS3. I have experience and also have pre-set actions through Kubota. Please send a PM if there is interest. Thank you.

    Just curious-- how do you retouch raw files from newer cameras like the 5DMKII if you only have CS3? headscratch.gif

    By using Camera RAW. Photoshop comes with Camera RAW which is a RAW Editor very similar to Lightroom and iy gets updated as new cameras appears in the marke.

    Actually, CS3 does NOT offer raw support for the 5DMKII. Look it up or try it out. That was my point. Yes, Adobe's camera raw has been updated to include the 5DMKII, but it only works for the latest version of Photoshop. Which these days is CS4, not CS3. deal.gif

    If you don't mind the extra step, you can use free Adobe software to convert the files to DNG, which CS3/ACR 4.x can process. Note: I haven't tried this myself, so I don't know what dragons lurk there, but I have read reports from people who claim it works fine.

    And of course there is always an option of saving RAW as 16-bit TIFF mwink.gif

    i think you can also convert the raw files in lightroom 2 and then edit in ps3. at least that's what i'm hoping, since i just ordered the 5dmkii ;)
