Question: “Nat, not sure if you have time to answer this but I could use some help. I want to make a JPEG copy of all my RAW files on my hard drive, various folders and subfolders, this would involve changing the files to a smaller file size. Is there a way to do all this in one operation with photoshop CS2 or 3?? I have a lot of photos and have to do it one folder at a time right now. My sense is that PS won’t open multiple folders in one auto operation.”
Answer: You can do this using Photoshop CS2, but it’s not as easy as doing it in Lightroom. I’d recommend you use Lightroom. Read more…

If you’re a photographer and you aren’t doing it already, you need to file copyright forms for your photos, lest the images be stolen with no renumeration. Although you can force someone to stop using your images illegally even if they’re not filed, the only way you can collect monetary damages for illegal use of your photos is if you have registered them with the U.S. Library of Congress Copyright Office. So do it!

One recurring theme I hear from people interested in contemporary photography is that it’s hard to know what a specific print is worth.
This confusion is not new to the digital age or to photography. Photographers (and other artists) have long been able to make multiple reproductions of their work and whether it’s in the darkroom or with a computer printer, this can confuse anyone involved in buying or selling in the visual arts.
