Adjusting your Workspace
Posted by bryboy on Jul 28, 2008

When you do image editing, your workspace will make a difference in your productivity. Default windows will be opened and for the seasoned artist, you know which window panels you will need. Closing other panels that will not be relevant to what you are doing not only saves on space but lessens complication such as throwing you off guard and deceiving you when you start working on graphics and photos.
Ideally, this method seems to be useless for most digital imagery artists. As long as you can shoot any scene with your digital camera and upload it, you just have to tweak the image a bit, perhaps add some effects and you are done. But others take it to another level, using various layers and masks to enhance images that produce rich pictures that many would perceive as a work of art. It is not really all about how well you can use your software, it is about focusing and using your creativity which can be done with the right tools in your workspace.
The only good thing I see about these other panels like brushes or enhancers is that they provide broader dimension towards being able to push photographers to do more with their images. Works of art can be achieved through it which include changing the colors, tinkering around with various parts such as blurring them or emphasizing on certain portions of an image which totally changes the original one. All of these can be achieved through photo editing.
Some may attribute it to the lenses that take the shoot but they are really more because how well you can use image editing software such as Adobe or Corel. Depending on which application a person has been used to, what is really important is production. As far as the image is concerned, it is left there for your to alter and improve.
