\nToday I present a seminar Fine Art Workflow with R Mac Holbert at PhotoPlus East in New York City.
\nFlexibility is one of the things we both emphasize in our seminars and workshops. Flexibility is an essential quality to preserve in your worfklow(s). You may change your mind in the future. You might have missed something in the past; you might learn something new; you might form a different opinion; things change and your workflow and files should be able to accommodate change. (Of course, this means allowing deliberate change not introducing unintentional change.) You want to be able to make a change as quickly and precisely as possible, without having to change everything
\nor repeat all your other successes. The practices you adopt in your workflow will determine how much and what kind of flexibility you preserve. Knowing what to avoid is as important as knowing what to do. Avoid practices that limit flexibility.
\nHere are 11 barriers.
\n1\u00a0\u00a0 resample resolution (lowering is worse than raising)
\n2\u00a0\u00a0 lower bit depth (8-16 bit)
\n3\u00a0\u00a0 convert to smaller gamut editing space
\n4\u00a0\u00a0 crop (mask instead)
\n5\u00a0\u00a0 erase pixels
\n6\u00a0\u00a0 work directly on the background
\n7\u00a0\u00a0 rasterize type
\n8\u00a0\u00a0 rasterize Smart Object and Smart Filters
\n9\u00a0\u00a0 apply masks permanently
\n10\u00a0\u00a0 merge layers
\n11\u00a0\u00a0 flatten
