Hi Richard. I often wonder how some of the pros determine the way they process their images. I like to keep my workflow fairly simple with generally just lightroom work. I’ve been playing with some vintage type tones lately and I really like it. My question is how do you settle on the look of your final images? Do you have some idea of this at the time of shooting or you experiment while processing? Thanks, Heath.
Hi Heath
Thanks for your comment. Richard has been answering questions on the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree Forum, so you may get a quicker response for him on there – Click on the link in the blog to post your question to him. From a business point of view Lonely Planet Images asks all of our photographers to present their imagery in the best possible way, which includes getting rid of dust spots, adjusting the contrast, and temperature of the image. What we also ask is that the image is natural, it looks real and is not manipulated in a way that the image looks fake. I hope that helps, but I sure Richard will be able to offer his advice on the way that he works through the thread.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply LPI. I agree in keeping shots natural. Sometimes it’s good fun to see how they look with an effect such as aged/vintage or cross processes. These would be for different uses of course! I’ll check the forum and see what’s being discussed there also!
