New to Photography. Question about settings.

[clark77494]

I just purchased a Canon EOS Rebel T5 to do Real Estate photography. For outside photos I want to set it to ISO 400, f/5.6 and let the camera determine the shutter speed. On the inside I want to set the camera to f/7.1 ISO 200 wih no flash, and also let the camera determine the shutter speed. I have a tripod so slow shutter speeds should not be a problem. I have a 18mm-55mm lens that came with the camera. I have two years video production training so I know how to setup a motion picture camera, just never took stills except with my Iphone.

Then to PS for this.............

If you never care about opening your photos again go ahead and make a lot of rent receipts.  But you just might use the camera for other reasons besides work.  Just make sure you don't save anything to .psd.

Nobody mentioned .cr2 files so I don't know why that was even brought up.  The .psd files are the issue.  Saving as .tiff or .jpg is the safest way to go.

That's a rather nice use of Photoshop, but you overdid it. You won't get me to believe that she could have bent her leg low enough for her foot to have made that splash.

Psst, and it's amazing how there is no reflection of the sunset on the water, either.

B from B,

The only thing that was real in that photo is the leg, toe and splash.  Just another reason I love PS.  Just to hear the criticism from people that have little idea of what actually happened and didn't.  Sorta like, "is it Memorex or is it live?" Or perhaps, "Only her hair dresser knows for sure."

And I an't tellin' !

It's a dramatic photo, Ernie  Your average person would only see beauty in it, not the technical challenge to create it.

When you move beyond Lightroom and into Photoshop, you move beyond photography and into graphic arts. 

Not that one is better than the other. When your finished product no longer represents what was really there, i.e. skinnyfied model, or adding a sunset where there wasn't one, you've moved beyond what I consider photography.

TMartin,

More like "When you move beyond Lightroom and into Photoshop, you move beyond photography and into advertising. Skinny girls, and that coveted house on the lake.

ebiggs,

Do you have a psd file I can have to see if it will open in Corel PaintShop Pro? Would be interested to see if I could open it up and edit it.

OK,  I forgot there was a reflection!

ebiggs,

How long did it take you to edit that photo?
