    Very little. I try to get it right the first time. If the light is harsh, that is usually when I have to PP. Cropping is the main thing I do. I think the right crop makes a good pic great.

    When I was shooting MX and karts heavy I usually did some batch processing to the images. You'd be surprised what even an auto-levels would do, it wasn't much work nor took much time either. I never did any cropping though, but you're right, the right crop can make a big difference.

    Nice set!

    I like to play around with some PS Actions. Just make it fun for myself to play and some people like the post processed pics.

    I've only gotten lucky to have some of my mx photos look like this - the color and clarity is awesome.

    Thanks brother. I don't mess with auto levels much unless I just didn't get the exposure correct. I do like auto contrast though. I use that the most and depending on each photo, I might bump saturation 4 - 7 points. I use clone stamp on most pics that people buy from me because I want their pics to look clean. So, I''l clone power wires, flaggers, other riders, etc. out fo the pic.

    Naw i was talking about yours.

    As far as color/light goes this is a better one of mine but i still feel they are lacking. This was a practice day so nothing too crazy but looking at your pics i feel like i could improve a lot.
