Project 365: June 5, 2008

My dad. I miss you every day.

We don't have too many photos of the guy, as he was always behind the camera, not in front of it.

I scanned this photo from the original color negative, then restored it to get rid of dust spots and scratches (the negative is 15 years old and was not stored in a sleeve) and applied selective color.

Project 365: June 4, 2008

Probably cheating for the date, as this was shot May 28th and processed while I was bored in photo class on Tuesday... but hey, it's my project, and I want this picture in there! :)

Canon Photo Paper Profiles

For the next time I can't remember which profile to use in Lightroom with which Canon photo paper:

MP = Matte Photo Paper
PR = Photo Paper Pro
SP = Photo Paper Plus Glossy

The numbers are for print quality. Lower numbers are better.

So...

PR1 = Photo Paper Pro, Highest quality
PR2 = Photo Paper Pro, Next best quality
SP1 = Photo Paper Plus Glossy , Highest quality
MP1 = Matte, Highest quality

Jotted this down off the web once upon a time, and I'm tired of digging up the scrap of paper every time I get a different paper! :)
