Almost done :)

This weekend will be the last working one for me :) Yay!!!

I need to re-charge my mental/physical batteries for next year.

Anyway, I really couldn't wait to release the info about my improved gear (Merry Xmas to me!) BUT... that's just the beginning of a 2010 fully loaded with new features, products and services so... keep this blog handy :)

Wondering... no more :)

ENP got mail :)

and I've got:

"R,
When I got home from school, I checked the mail and found a wonderful birthday present! (56 and no more, LOL).
Thank you for your time, your expertise, your talent, and your friendliness! My favorites were the "star" effects during the ceremony and the special effects (cake, couple, etc.) at the reception. In addition, I am equally pleased that you could transform the dark images into something special!!!!!!!!!!!! You saved my life !!!! Thanks a million, Edy" - ENP from LA, Usa

More NEW projects :)

I'm starting another jewelry photography project for jewelrymakingprofessor.com
and post-production for two top-notch wedding photographers, one from NYC the
other one from Australia (confidential).
I'll keep you posted.
Later,
Rosie :)

Post-processing details

I've found myself answering this question a lot so...
I decided to post it :)
All the post-production I've made and I'm doing right now
for other photographers is NOT available to the public,
that's why I always offer editing samples of your own images
to all potential clients. I understand you need to see if I can
accomplish what you are looking for.
Also, for obvious reasons I don't reveal their names.
I take copyrights and confidentiality very serious.
I do wedding/events photography upon request and when not taking
pictures you can find me working for some very talented
wedding photographers.
It's a pleasure to be part of their 'behind the curtains' team.
Rosie

Another happy customer :)

"Wow I am so impressed -- I could not be any happier.
Rosie you have a lot of patience yet are graciously persistent
to deliver a product quickly! I love the way you designed my
custom logo with me in mind and would not hesitate to
recommend or use you again. Blessings," - Denise

I just finished another custom logo design, this time for
Denise Hummel Photography. Smooth process... just the way I like it!

Photographer to the rescue

You can tell I love the photo editing part of the business.
Do you have photos that need to be retouched? colorized? restored?
I provide photography manipulation for those who already have pictures and due to lack of tools or time need to delegate the post-processing to a reliable source.
Photographers images are welcome!
Basic (fill-in flash, cropping, color balance, dodge burn, exposure correction, contrast, etc.) and artistic editing (different B&Ws, many other tones, smooth skin, image enhancement, pop up color, restoration, composition, background cleaning, noise and unwanted objects removing, etc.) The sky is the limit when it comes to creative post-production.
Single images & in-a-batch quotes are available upon request.

By using my services you can be assured that:
* Your project will be handled on a timely fashion (I don't take more than what I can handle).
* I take copyrights and confidentiality very serious and none of your images will be available to the public through my website or blog. They are yours, not mine :)
* I offer impeccable customer service. I will NOT get lost. Communication is the magic word between you and me. You'll have the chance to participate along the entire process.

Feel free to contact me if any questions and send me one of your pics so I can sample it for you.
letmegrowstudio@yahoo.com

***IMPORTANT: I can't work on images that are copyrighted without the photographer's permission.
At the time of sending me your photos, you will be confirming that you are the photographer of those pictures or that you've got permission from the copyright party.***

Dare to ask! - Photoshop

One of the reasons why I started creating templates in PS is,
everybody has it and whoever doesn't yet is saving $ to
get the most affordable copy they can get.

Now, the real question is... Is it THAT good?

Yes, it is. And it's getting better and better... edition after edition.
I'm amazed... the sky is the limit with this software, literately.
But, it takes a lot of TIME, TRIAL and ERROR to get the results
you want and this is not a secret.

PS is not a science. It's just another one of those things you
would like to get your hands dirty with and there is never enough
time for that.

I hope my templates help you to focus on your photography while
I take care of the graphic side of your business.

I'll be offering pretty ORIGINAL designs, not
'cookie cutter'-'look alike' graphics for sure... so, stay
tuned and bookmark me... just keep me handy, would you?
Rosie :)
