Photography

For those of you that use photography in your
photoshop work
(you scan photos you've taken)

do you just get them developed at Long's
(equivalent to wall green's)

or do you develop them yourselves...


also, does it matter wheter or not you
have them developed as gloss or not?

and what types of camera's used?
someone had recommended a rebel 2000
b/c u can interchange lenses, and manual focus.

for photos you are going to scan, yes "gloss" finish is preferred... A good scanner with pick up the "matte" texture of a photo. Makeing it have tiny little white dots in it, especially on high=end drum scanners, but the problem also occurs on flatbed scanners that have a good d-max.
I always specify "gloss" for that reason... The matte texture photos are really only for photos you intend to be handled... the matte cuts down on finger prints and makes the photos a little more durable.
