This is an assignments site for Kristiina Hillerström based for the book The Creative Digital Darkroom, written by Katrin Eismann and Seán Duggan. I'm studying this book in forum Hello World!

Chapter 1

The first tree chapters are mainly reading and setting programs, computer and files organized. The first chapter do shortly introduce the workflow of digital photograph. That's what the rest chapters familiarize step by step deeply. The short list will look like this:

Chapter 2

Digital Darkroom aka your working place, Photoshop preferences, Color settings, Calibration, Color spaces, Navigation.

Here's the image of my workspace. This dark image presents how I'm usually working. The large image is with lights.
Some things are new and some pretty old, but they are still working fine to they purpose.

iMac 24"

JBL

MyBook I'm using this HD as my Time Capsule (backup hd).

Huey

iPod 30GT For music and Podcasts.

Wacom Graphire 2 Old tablet, but working fine.

Epson Stylus PHOTO RX425 Old, but fine.

Chapter 3

Scanning, file organization, archive, DGN/ RAW process using Photoshop and Lightroom.

Lots of useful information about RAW handling, which is hard to make an example to show in here, but I did change my RAW images to DNG mode. I have also backup of the original RAW images. I also played with Lightroom and it's Web gallery feature. I think this is the solution I have been looking for. It's making valid xhtml code and it can handle large image galleries with few steps. It's using metadata as a text. The only problem is clickable links. For example in my art gallery, where I like to have links for the original images and copyrights.

I mean if I put link tags to metadata, they will work fine in bigger images, but reason is it's also adding it to thumbnails.
