Default Sometimes the worst possible things to happen

Can be the best possible thing to happen.

No I haven't gone crazy or been huffing the glue from my model kits again.

As I have mentioned before my old laptop crashed and I lost it all in that crash. After trying to fish out my images for almost two weeks I finally gave up and reformatted the drive.

I seriously was extremely upset by it and was walking around the house banging my head and pulling hair thinking about it. It took me about 20 minutes to actually confirm I wanted to format the drive.

So thats the shitty side of it....the good side is I get to go back to all these locations and shoot them all fresh again and the results are completely different than the ones I had before. They are different in a good way though and I feel much better than before.

Sometimes shit does smell like roses

See now you ask a difficult question really because any image put on a computer goes through Photoshop. So I am not really sure if I should answer that question with a serious answer or a smartass comment.

Yeah believe me I was seriously tore up about having to format the drive because the images that were on there were worth a lot of potential money to me

I also learned a hard lesson from it about my workflow procedure and where I need to make adjustments in it.

Did you consider taking it to a company and have them restore the hard drive? Costs money but in your case it may have been worth it?

Yeah I considered it.......but I decided to let it go.

It would have been the second time I have fished that drive out and I was just tired of it. Not a big deal since I will be able to make up for it in a month or so anyways. I still know where all the ocations are and armed with fresh knowledge of how to do certain things I can make it even better this time around.

Levels? Curves? Any filters or color enhancements?
