Most online photo labs now offer a correction service for your digital holiday photos.
The best workflow in Lightroom (Workflow)
The automatic correction in the photo service helps you
Step 1: Back up and rename your holiday photos (or other images)
If you are not in a jumble of digital photographs drown, then it makes sense to back up the data on your computer or laptop first. In the next step, you should save the photographs renamebecause most cameras assign a four-digit number that repeats after a while. If you later want to see the numbers on the back of the prints and reorder photos, it makes sense to have a separate number for each photo that is not repeated.
A good method is to use image editing software such as Lightroom to rename the images according to the date (YYYYMMDD) and then with a consecutive four-digit number (-0001). This then looks like this, for example: "20140421-0001.jpg". If you take more digital photos on this day, then start numbering the next photos from the next chip card with a number such as 1000.
Step 2: Selecting the best photographs
You probably know this: You are looking for a specific photo and find an almost endless amount of digital photographs on your computer. The search for the photo takes a correspondingly long time. To drastically shorten this search (to seconds), you can bring light into the darkness with a little investment of your time. You pre-sort your images into good and bad photos.
Sorting the images is in Adobe Lightroom beautiful simplebecause there is a group view and individual view in which you can rate the photos. After rating your photos, move the bad and discarded photos to a folder such as "discarded", which you delete if it is two weeks or older. This allows you to separate the wheat from the chaff of your digital photos before you have to search for a long time.
In Lightroom you can Keywords to assign photos of your children or your partner at the touch of a button. Find it again in seconds and display them. This is an investment in the future, because you will be able to find the photographs easily and that will give you great pleasure.
Step 3: Order prints of the digital photos online
I personally (professional photographer and trainer of the photo training Peter Roskothen) use for first-class Deductions the Portrait paper from www.fotoexakt.de or from www.saal-online.de. Ordering is very easy and is explained on the suppliers' websites (we will be happy to explain this to you too). The portrait paper has the advantage that it has a Pearl effect which brings out the colours beautifully, but no fingerprints are visible when you pass the prints around.
You can usually receive the pictures the next day or the day after (depending on the time of day when you order) in your Mailbox find. If you use the automatic corrections of these two companies for your digital photos, the photos will be post-processed in the best possible way.
Of course, with this online print service you can also order various prints in different sizes up to Posters order. Also your Photo bookone Photo calendar to give away, photographs on Canvas and behind Acrylicor your best holiday photo on a mug.
It is even better if you "develop" your digital photos yourself before ordering the prints and adjust the brightness, contrast, colour and sharpness and then do without the automatic correction of the photo lab. Here comes the photo course into play:
