I searched for all sorts of things, but missed the obvious "worklfow". I thought that maybe you had made a specific preset for your RAW processing but it looks like you do that manually. Ok, I will keep playing. Obviously it is doable, I just haven't figured out that combination of white balance, camera profile, fill light etc which will give me what I want. Thanks again ..

I've got three boys and have a hard time doing what you do. If you ever feel like writing up your workflow I would love to read it, since you mention that you shoot RAW. I am mostly happy with the way my shots come out in JPG, but I just can't get the colors in RAW to look anything as good as the JPGs (or how my memory is) nor as good as the colors which all your images have. I've read everything I can on the flickr forums regarding Nikon Raw files and Lightroom (2.3) but I am a long way from getting it. I have owned a DSLR for some time but it is only over the last couple of months that I have really gotten hooked on it. Where I am currently (Knysna, South Africa) there are amazing blue skies and sea colors, but I can't get the RAWS to display that in LR, and I want to as I really like using LR. Thanks Guy (D300 + D3) P.S. I should add that I am red /green color blind. <span class='jfriedl'>I've <a href='http://regex.info/blog/2008-02-16/739' rel="nofollow">posted about my Workflow</a> before. As for colors, two things to look into: the white-balance setting (a small change can make a huge difference in the result), and the profile you select in the Camera Calibration section of the Develop module. You may well prefer the Camera ones to the standard Adobe ones. —Jeffrey</span> It is really fun for me to follow your photo blog, the way you mix pictures of Anthony with landscapes.
