Ask Tim Grey - Digital Photography Podcast

Tim and Renee chat about the first week of their 2016 Palouse Photo Workshop, and the notion of creating photographic opportunities whenever possible. They then address questions from photographers about neutral density (ND) filter options, color temperature sliders seeming "backwards", whether or not it is important to build custom printer profiles, and how to flip a selection in Photoshop.

They then address questions from photographers about creating printer profiles, upgrading to a larger hard drive for storing photos, creating vertical text in Photoshop, consolidating photos from two smaller hard drives to one larger hard drive, and managing captures for time-lapse sequences.

They then address questions from photographers about easily importing to a specific folder in Lightroom, using a hard-edged brush for painting on a layer mask in Photoshop, using a selection to protect an area of a layer mask in Photoshop, blurring a background within a photo, and recommendations for hardware to calibrate a monitor display and profile a printer.
