- Always use different LAYERS when editing- Smart Sharpen is really helpful- Shadow & Highlight/HDR is a technique not

everyone can pull or not everyone accepts but it’s fun to play around with.

- For Clients: ALWAYS SHOOT IN RAW- For Portfolio: RAW is better- For personal reasons: Large Format is fine or

Medium Format is fine depending how much on your hard drive you’re okay with using.
