I have a problem (and that's enough laughter from the gallery over there!). I take a photograph, get it home and work on it to make the colours, tones and other aspects acceptable. Then later, need to reproduce what I did, but have forgotten (have been told that memory is one of the first things to go as you get older lol) - so end up with a slightly different result, not neccessarily one that am as happy with as the first time. Of course, it is obvious - keep a written record. So did; on scraps of paper that have been been "put in a safe place", and not necessarily recorded in a way that will be clear at a later date.
aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!
Today, decided to be a little better organised and created a record sheet. Possibly there is already something available online somewhere, but haven't looked. Now, does this mean these won't also be "put in a safe place"? No - but at least the record of what I did will be clearer to me when I find it again <laughing>
Is a copy of this sheet of any use to others? It is in pdf format, so should be readable on any platform. A copy can be downloaded from my website. Here is the link:
Because every piece of software appears to have a different result for the same name, have tried to make it software independant, albeit I used the terms as found in PhotoFiltre, one of the four different programs I use (and who knows what else in the future). Not knowing what the "standard" terms are, this program seemed to have those I most easily understood. If there are "generic" terms that could replace these, let me know, the changes can be made and an updated version uploaded to the address.
Not being able to fit everything on one sheet (not going down the "just make another page" track) stayed with what I believe to be the most common changes, and so the last column becomes the catchall.
