All,
Not sure if this will work or not but I think it might be quite interesting and informative also help improve our "Mastering" skills.
What I suggest is this. Each week someone posts a RAW file (or original scan) exactly as it came out of the camera/scanner at full size. Each of us then "masters" this using our preferred tools (ACR, Photoshop, etc) and makes a reasonable sized JPEG (800 pixels longest dimension).
The finished pictures are then e-mailed to me and, after a couple of days, I post them here for discussion. I think its important to do this via e-mail so we don't find ourselves influenced by other people's versions of the pictures.
After a period of discussion the original photographer picks a favourite other than his own and that person gets first option at providing the next image. We could also possibly have an informal vote for the "winner".
Does this seem like something people might be interested in? If so I have an image to get us started. It's not a particuarly great photograph (although I like it) although I think it's interesting from a processing / mastering viewpoint for a number of reasons.
So if you want to have a go then please do so and e-mail to me at matthew a t oddpost d o t com
