How is it done??

People always ask me "so Juan...how do you process your pictures after you take them; what do you use to make them look like that??" Well, here's my workflow that I use for all my photography. First I import my pictures into my Macbook (more on why I use Apple Computers exclusively later). Once there, I will look at each one to see if there is anything to be fixed. If there is I will usually use Adobe Photoshop CS3 to fix anything from freckles to moles to scars, or to erase things in the background...replace colors, etc. Photoshop is an awesome powerful program used by most if not all magazines today.

After that is done I import them into another program called Lightroom. This program lets me fix many pictures all at once and apply things like sharpening and edge darkening for a more professional look. It also does special effects and other fun stuff. After that I will save copies of the "fixed" photos and voila!...ready to use. You will see all this on the pictures posted on this blog from time to time. So, there you have it!
