When shooting I have started to try and set the WB manually to see if I can guess it.
Then I choose the one of the menu options , daylight etc
I shoot DNG
----------------
I use C1 pro and/or CS2.

Phase one media reader transfers my files ( name unchanged) to a folder with the date in reverse order and small descriptive text, e.g. 2007 02 M8 misc

I look up the folder in C1 and maximise the screen ( F9 )
Scroll through the images for a good look.
Depending on the light I choose the WB picker or slide the WB temp bar until it looks right.
check the tint value & adjust

in the exposure tab I check the Film standard drop down box for any viable changes
I may adjust the slider bar on the levels, occasionally adjust the curve.

I leave sharpening & noise setting as zero
( not sure this if this is appropiate hence the thread ! )

I process the image as a 300 dpi 16bit tiff converting to destination ( set as RGB )

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I open the image in CS2

Here I would welcome some input
I convert to CMYK ( on advise of a relative )
Crop if necessary
Amend the size to the print size and then USM slightly.
Finally print the image.

I keep promising myself that collect that vast collection of 'holiday snaps' and send them off to my lab.

All input appreciated - please use Q & R thread.

Thanks
Jim
