I figured out by screwing up.

So here I am trying to color correct and edit some 1000 photos. Not going to happen. I edited them down to about 220. Much better.

I have always been a bit clunky with PS but with this many photos to work up I need to improve.

I have found out some truths about PS:

1) Get the fastest computer you can afford. Surfing the web, writing papers, who cares how turbo-charged your processor, vid card and RAM are? Try to work on some 200 photos in PS and you'll care.

2) Keyboard shortcuts. Learn them. Save 5 seconds here and there and it will add up.

3) For digital photos, shoot RAW if possible. Now I've got all these huge files but since I'm working with tiffs, I'm not losing data with saves. Nice.

Ok, might submit a few now
