Like someone posts a picture and we all PP it and see what we can come up with and then we post how we did it and stuff. Probably a good way to learn new techniques, styles, HDR, retouching, split toning, sharing actions, etc. I know that some of you are really good at post processing, something that I consider myself really weak at, so basically I figure it could be a good learning experience for me and others who suck at it.

I'm in. Not sure how much I'd be able to contribute (probably nothing) but I would be grateful to learn...well, anything.

/my post-processing = auto-levels + save

What are the guidelines for posting? RAW? JPEG? Original size? Shrunk to a certain size?

I'd like to submit a photo. I have one shot that I really like, and I happen to like the mild processing that I did on it but I'd like to see what other people do with it. :)


I'd be willing to play with other peoples' shots as well, although I rarely do more than simple adjustments to most of my photos.

I'd say as close to original as possible so that everyone can do what they like with the shot. Maybe not RAW unless you have a host that doesn't mind big files.

RAW or a big JPEG. Basically any file big enough to not get in the way of post processing.

If you have the original RAW, that would be MUCH preferred.

Plenty of free file hosts on the web.

I'll set up a Smugmug Album and you guys can email me your originals or processed shots or whatever and I'll share them.

That would work. I just realized I won't be able to submit a photo until Thursday evening, so if other people wanna jump in front of me, they can.
