Of course he had no idea what "unsharp mask" meant : either, and his photo's proved the real extent of his other limitations. I can muster a bit of sympathy for what it must be like to be a newspaper photographer, with the constant deadline pressure and crappy reproduction of one's photos. When I shoot an event (always in RAW), the first thing I usually have to do is convert a few images to JPEG and make them available to our local newspapers. That can be a bit of a nuisance, especially if the event ends late at night. But I cover an event every couple of weeks, on average, which is nothing like doing several a day with even greater deadline pressure. So I can understand the temptation of relegating everything to quick and dirty procedures, eschewing such niceties as RAW mode and unsharp masks, as long as the editor doesn't give me a hard time. Come to think of it, do we have any newspaper photographers (active or retired) in the group? I can't recall anyone mentioning having been one. Bob |
