I hate retouching scans Monday 11th August 2008

Spent all of Monday on production work on the edit arrived at over the weekend.  My god scans take forever to process compared to digital originals, especially on a small laptop…  Made it through the 1st 6 images and noticed a couple of problems –the depth of field is short in one of the images of a back alley but not badly enough to be noticeable at A4 so I may run with it but it means the image may not make the exhibition set.  Thankfully it was the weaker of the alley shots so I can live with it.  Also noticed one of the street views that I favoured needs to be scrapped because I somehow missed the presence of a van poking out from a corner and 2 mopeds parked in the background.  This was stupid and I should have reshot the image but it is too late now and I have a lot of these street views anyway so will have to replace it.  Other than that, production work is a pain on a 12” screen…
