I think the J344 workflow will be extremely beneficial to my overall organization of my work for this class and into the future. Since I have gotten really into photography I have struggled with a way to organize photos in a way that will not take up too much storage and I think this will be a big help. As for this assignment I think it helped me to organize the photos in a way where it was easy to pick a photo and see what needed to be edited on it. The top photo is the edited version and the bottom is the original. As for the editing I mainly brought down the exposure to she wasn’t as washed out. But I also brought up the green tent just a little to really emphasize the greens from outside the window and add more contrast. I think in the future I wouldn’t have brought it up to high, as looking at it now I think it is a bit too green, but I think this was a great first step in learning the J344 workflow and also working with editing raw images.
