Sending Pages Week
Jay Swetech Photo Processing Session

Today is the day we are going to finish at least the sophomore mugs and two sports spreads for a whopping total of 16 pages. And to think Westfield will have over 100 pages by next Saturday. We are doing something wrong here. Not really. But I would love to get more pages submitted early. It's just NOT the culture of how we do things I guess.

Jay did come at about 11:30 and we started by updating the software and calibrating the monitors. Jay used his Eye-One calibrator, the one Reese had recommended. It did wind up taking until after 12:30. Then we finally started working on photo correction strategies. Turns out he also brought his son, Shay and Robert actually stopped by.


Jay and Shelby

Jay worked with Shelby and Kim for over two and a half hours teaching them how to dodge and burn and do all sorts of amazing color corrections. It is so great to have an expert to lead us through the best process. There are always 20 ways to do things in Photoshop, but it's great to know what works best from a professional.

At 3:48 I flew out of here when I realized I had forgotten my visual field appointment at Mercy. I managed to make it an when I got back Jay was still here. I think he final left around 5:30



Zoe got back from practice and we kept working her 12 pages. At about 7:30 we discover that Lauren did not have things set up on a proper template and so she had to completely rework both spreads.

We also made final adjustments with the ladder so I think we pretty much have the ladder set too.
