"IT'S GOOD ENOUGH" --REVISITED
Here are some thoughts from Brooks Clayton, president of Mid-South Color Labs, Inc.:
Back in the Fall of 1999, I wrote an article for the Tennessee PPA magazine entitled, “It’s Good Enough”. That was during the time of transition from film to digital. In that article, I cautioned against the wave of portrait and commercial photographers and their clients who were accepting quality that they would not have accepted a year earlier by saying “it’s good enough”.

USING LEVELS FOR COLOR ADJUSTMENTS
We set-up our computers for great output, used Curves to create a great adjustment layer, now we explore the use of the Levels Adjustment Layer to create great color without the use of a MacBeth Color Card. It’s the second of three videos using Photoshop to create great color.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: PAINTER PORTRAITS
Painter Portraits are the ultimate! They allow you to compete with commissioned oil portraits. Not only can you offer your clients an affordable alternative, but you have the added selling point of retaining likeness and expression that are so difficult with freehand paintings.
Our in-house artists begin with your file and digitally "paint" every pixel to create a stunning Painter Portrait. The portrait is printed on Giclee canvas and then our artists apply brush stokes following the contours of the image and finish off with color oils on the hightlights. This product truly takes you to the next level.
