Road staff vs. Detention staff Salary
I am working for a Dept. that is looking at different strategies to combat turnover among detention staff. One of the things being considered is to give detention staff parity in salary with road deputies and the admin has asked a few of us what we think about this. I have not answered yet but have formed a pretty strong opinion on the matter, but I am curious if there are other dept.'s that have tried this or and how did it turn out?
I know our jail staff makes about $10,000 less than we do. I really don't have an opinion on this matter. Maybe some of our verified C/O's will answer this one.
We both faces dangers.The opinions given in my posts DO NOT reflect the opinions, views, policies, and/or procedures of my employing agency. They are my personal opinions only, thereby releasing my agency of any liability, or involvement in anything posted under the username "Beans" on LEF.
Correctional officers should have pay parity with road officers for the following reasons:
- It's not our money, so what does it matter??? Sometimes people act like the money is coming out of their own pocket.
- Pay correctional officers parity so that it will give them an incentive to stay in corrections and to make it a career!!! Reward them as much as road officers are rewarded!!!
At the agency I use to work at the salary for the Jail staff and the Road Deputies were the same. It did not help with the turn over problem simply because many of the Deputies working the jail wanted to go to the road and there was not any positions available. Therefore they would go to work at another agency when the chance came along. I've worked both areas, starting in a prison then going on the road. To me both areas are similar, if you don't like what your doing you will not stay, regardless of pay.

Detention Deputies going to the road is not the problem. We're losing Det. Dep.'s for every reason imaginable except that one. The biggest complaint seems to be the 12 hr rotating day/night shift schedule that we work but I think that's a cop out. My personal opinion is we're losing people because of the disparity between the image of the road deputy and the detention deputy. It seems that no matter what we detention staff do we're viewed as second class citizens compared to the road side of the house. When we look at the staff that have quit in the past year 75% have been young and educated in a LAWE or CJ field. In other words, the staff that most would expect would be staying and making a career are bailing out. What's that tell you?
My opinion on the parity issue is that parity alone is not a solution to the problem, but if it were coupled with higher minimum hiring requirements and a possible revision in the shift rotation, maybe create two permanent shifts, one for days and one for nights and then have two rotating day/night shifts maybe we could attract the career oriented, professional people we are looking for.
IMO, all should be sworn deputies with equal pay and allow lateral transfers to postions by bidding on them.

I work at a county jail in Southern Maryland. We start out at 37,600 while patrol starts out at 40,000 (and change). We have people leaving because they want to be a cop. Some leave taking 10k paycuts to be a patrol officer at other departments.
Bottom line is, corrections is a stepping stone job for most and no matter what you pay nothing will change this.
Maybe a contract saying they will work x amount of years at the department would help? Good pay is important so you can have qualifed, quality staff. If you pay shit, that's what you will get.Don't ask if you don't want a honest answer!!!

I don't believe that corrections is a stepping stone job. Yes, there are those that view it as such, but there are a great many of us that truly have no desire to go to the road and truly enjoy the jail setting. I know for damn sure that if I were on the road I'd go nuts, 12 hr night shifts all alone checking doors on the town hall in some tiny ass townshhip out in the middle of BFE in January. NO way pal, I'll stick with my nice warm jail house and my 200 detainees for company.

Different strokes for different folks, but you would rather check cell doors and count heads than drive up to the town hall and get out of a crown vic., which is just as warm as the jail house, turn a knob, push on a window, and walk back to a crown vic., which is still just as warm as the jail house, then drive off and go wherever and do whatever.

Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to reach out and bitch slap that motherf*cker upside the head.
There is no way in hell that I could work "locked up" in a facility with a bunch of inmates. For me, that would be a tougher job. But hey, some people have a knack for it. More power to them. Some people act like giving a raise to an officer is going to come directly out of their bank account. It's not. It comes from the county or city government, which collects annual revenue from property taxes, which is minimal (in the big picture). And if you're only a renter, then you're not paying anything at all.
(I'm not referring to sales tax and state issues -- just local issues).
I am currently a deputy in a KY county jail (not affiliated with any agency other than ourselves). We house 525 + or - a few and we are paid below what road officers/deputies are paid. Our salary is $22,000 a year after the 90 probation period. We are sworn and yet to even get hazzard pay, but the other agencies get it.
The new jail I will be going to (an Indiana sheriff's office jail) the base salary is $33,200, (and will be a civilian) which is less than the road units, but not by such a large gap that it is in KY.
Both jobs have advantages and disadvantages. On the street, you have to decide good guy, good guy, good guy, bad guy (unless you work 3rd shift lol). Where as I get bad guy, bad guy, bad guy 24/7.
I think both jobs should be paid more since offenders are becoming more violent. I will be happy with my $11,000 a year raise and working for a much better facility.
Bottom line: I feel they should both be paid equal. But you have to have the same hiring process for both jobs. It seems like C/O jobs are a little easier for some knuckleheads to slip through. My hiring process for the Sheriff's Dept has been tough and has taken 10 months so far. Nothing like the KY job I got when I was hired within a week of dropping off my application. Maybe that's why where I'm at now has such a high turnover rate...

The opinions given in my posts don't reflect the opinions, views, policies/procedures of my agency. They are my personal opinions and I accept sole responsibility as such.
Currently my agency starts out at 50K a year and your at 66 or 70k in 5 years, plus shift diff ,stats and OT. Most city police agencies in the area make identical money. Bottom line is corrections and policing are equal partners in the CJ system. You can have all Road cops you want, but if they have no where to dump the trash then their hooped. You can have a thousand jails filled with C.O's, but if there are no police officers to get them the bad guys then they are hooped. Both Face equal amount of dangers every day, in California they average10 assualts on staff per day. I persoanally get tired of the bullshit attitude of some police officers or some corrections officers. One is no more important than the other and if one feels that they are, then they should really check there ego. I know of police officers that work in butfuck no where and get 10 calls a year and making 70k. I know of CO's that work in prisons where they have ERT called out 10-15 times a month and they make 70k, and I know of some C.O's who dont do anything, and some PO's that are run off there feet.Do we have to make the same, it would be nice but no, it should be in the ball park though. I think most of you guys in the states, get bullshit wages and you should all get a raise. Anyways just my opinion guys.

I've done both and corrections is not a tougher job by any means. Its really not hard to sit there and babysit grown men.
I've also do both jobs, and I'm not about to get in a Pissing match over which is the hardest. In Wisconsin, to be a cop, you need at least 2 years of College and attend a 520 hour academy. To be a C.O., you need an HSED and attend a 240 hour academy. For County C.O.'s, the training is even less. Consequently, the pay for C.O.'s is less, as are the qualifications and training.
And, Glock 32, your statement is a slap in the face to every C.O. out there. As I said, I still do both, and there are times in the joint when I'm busy the whole shift, while there are times on the road I just drive around, and the hardest part of the job is deciding where to stop for coffee.For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.

Any job is the sum total of what you put into it. Given your opinion, I'd say your work ethic and attitude in corrections was substandard. I hope for the sake of your co-workers that it is better on the street.
On topic: I believe salaries should be at least in proximity of one another for correctional officers and street cops. If for no other reason, the attraction and retention of more qualified candidates.

Photoshop CS6: Top 5 Features for Photographers
Photoshop CS6: Top 5 Features for Photographers
HDR editing in Adobe Camera Raw 7.1
In a previous article, Extreme contrast edits in Lightroom 4 and ACR 7, I showed how it is now possible to process raw photos that recorded a wide tonal range and successfully edit the tones, just as you would if editing a high dynamic range master. Well, the latest Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 7.1 update now allows you to edit 32-bit HDR TIFF images, just as you would regular Raw, JPEG or TIFF files. This offers a huge improvement over the HDR Toning controls available in Photoshop, which though effective are still quite tricky to master. I find the Process Version (PV) 2012 Basic panel controls in ACR 7.1 (and Lightroom 4.1) are much easier to manage.
What's most interesting here is that Basic panel sliders in PV 2012 were very much engineered with the challenges of high dynamic range editing in mind. Now I realize that the rise of HDR-processed images has its detractors. I'll admit I'm not much of a fan of the overly processed look myself. I also dislike the rather obvious halos that result from tone mapping HDR files to create a low dynamic range version.
The future direction of ACR and Lightroom seems clearly set to address such shortcomings though and provide an editing environment which can cope with HDR source files. For now, ACR allows you to edit single exposure images and faux HDR files. Looking forward to the future, I've no doubt camera sensor technology will evolve to the point where we're able to capture much greater dynamic ranges than we can today. The new ACR/Lightroom PV 2012 controls are going to be ideally suited to edit the files from such sensors.
The final version shows the results of an extreme adjustment, and while this does venture close to a kind of 'HDR look', the halos are nowhere nearly so obvious as when applying extreme adjustments using Merge to HDR Pro. My personal preference would be aim for a balance between this version and the original one at the top.
The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions held by dpreview.com or any affiliated companies.
To be honest the image in the 'patch tool in content aware' section looks terrible.
If I ever get in that situation I'll just wait for the other photographer to move.
wow. Those blur tools are unreal and useful in my line of work. I'd like to see them ported over to Lightroom, but it's definitely worth it to open photoshop for that level of adjustment. Did they ever get around to adding the Unblur Features that they debuted at the preview event?
Adobe's greed may well push folks away from their excellent ACR! If the trend continues, many of us will drift away from ACR (no need for future upgrades of PS CS6). As a former ACR beta tester I am very disappointed. As a photographer I am very confused where PS CS6 is headed - and why! Thomas has more money than he can spend in 100 lifetimes - and good for him! But, meanwhile, Photoshop is taking a beating by many photography groups, forums, blogs, media, and many pros. Will the stock be next?
This is a perfect opportunity for Apple to develop and introduce a real competitor for Photoshop. I hope it eventually happens.
Apple has to work extra hard if they want to make something that can compete with Adobe Photoshop.
I have used Aperture before and I just find it too basic and under-developed. IMHO, for an Apple product the user interface really sucks. I think Lightroom is a better alternative.
One option I think would be for Apple to purchase Corel, Nik Software or a similar Company for the brain power in the image processing field (and patents like Control Points) and come up with a really usable interface that doesn't need a 600 pages book to learn.
In the meantime right now I think there is not much more than Photoshop for professional image work. If you have a better alternative let me know. I'm willing to explore options. BTW, GIMP doesn't count - it's free but it's also another user interface nightmare.
What are they doing? They made Lightroom wonderful and affordable. I'm a photographer first and pixel diddler second so of course I got LR4 and absolutely love and praise it. I have CS5 and it is good. I've hardly scratched the surface and out comes CS6 ...at great ongoing expense.
I simply can't spend that kind of money monthy on something I only use to edit 2 or 3 % of my work. It seems like the Lightroom group got their development and marketing acts together while the CS team came up with a money extraction machine.
The price structure, cloud system and lack of support for older versions (sure I can buy a new camera AND new Photoshop to edit the photos) tells me they are setting themselves up for a big fall. Some of the inexensive low cost programs are going to suddently become practical through performance improvements and a groundswell of rejection and adoption of those programs will leave the CS team asking themselves "why did we choose to bite the hand that feeds us"
They made Lightroom more affordable because Apple made Aperture dirt cheap. That's the only reason why.
I'm not sure I understand. It seems you don't need it so why the fuss.
Adobe does offer DNG converter for free, though I do wish you could update camera raw separately.
"...a must-have feature for any landscape/architectural photographer...", I think for architectural photographer in the sense of technical geometry correctness may benefit from it, but for a landscape photo art, where any geometry correction would destroy the art itself, and would consider the lens as garbage since it cannot produce image "correctly".
I do graphic designs, and sometimes photography. With newer CSes, I benefit a lot more in designs or manipulations, than photography. CSes are less for photographers, IMO.
New features can be good in PShop, but I'm more old school and the older versions still work here for general photo editing. I wish camera makers would make their cameras capture stuff like I see it via the controls for once so we needn't have to edit our photos so much afterwards. Capturing a good photo of a moment in time should not require post-processing in this day of high technology. All the stupid new gizmo options on digi-cameras are useless if they don't capture the moment well by the user and PP work is required.
I got a survey from Adobe and after the questions about paying a monthy fee instead of purchasing, they asked how often do you upgrade? I thought it was interesting that one of the options for answering was "every other version" which seems to be about right.
It really does come down to the price, unfortunately. I love PS, but $50 upgrades seem a more reasonable cost for these features.
As far back as I remember you always had the ability to name/rename a layer. This was possible in CS5, but some idiots, managed to take away this option, or hid it so it is hard to find. Why is it so common lately for programs to take away perfectly useful and important features (or change where they are) in subsequent newer "improved" versions ?
Put it BACK!
What are you talking about, it works the same as it does in your desktop. You click the layer name, it highlights, you rename it...
Hey Graybalanced,
Thanks for the information. I was looking for it to work the same way as it used to in CS5 etc, where it was a menu option after right clicking. So I never tried a left mouse click. With Windows Explorer you right click and choose Rename.
I guess I would claim that it was there but hidden from anyone who expected it to work the way it used to.
In any case I'm delighted that you rescued me from ignorance.
The content aware demo is not good. You see that the same rocks and water are duplicated. And the bigger rock is floating in the air. There was something supporting it behind the blue man.
It's important to realize that Photoshop is a product aimed at a wide audience of photographers/graphic designers. I'm a designer who values any tool that will help me quickly adapt an image for a particular use. As an example, let's say I have a great photo of a couple but it's cropped too tightly and I need more background. The content aware tool is a great way to quickly and easily add the additional image area I need.
I agree for a fine art photographer and sometimes a designer too, there are more elegant ways to retouch a photo. On a deadline however it's a time saver.
Yep. Before "CS" era of adobe, they called their products simply Photoshop 5, Photoshop 6, Photoshop 7...
By simply rebranding the products, they have been selling the same thing in last 20 years
Agree with CameraLabTester. What's in CS6 for photographers? I don't like LR and I'll stick with CS3 forever.
Agree, I'm still using CS3 does everything I need and more. Too many people are caught up with always having to have the latest version whether they need it or not.
A few things are the ability to take advantage of 64 bit architecture for better memory se (only 4gb max in cs3) , many useful compositing/masking features (quick selection - yes!), many useful camera raw features etc..
Once you start using the new features you can't remember not having them - I agree it's an expensive habit.
But cs3 was a while ago and certainly you're getting your money's worth.
Adobe Photoshop is slowly running out of gimmicks to catch consumer cash.
The decline began in the Adobe Photoshop 7.0 era
Nothing new that cannot be done in PS7 or PS6 or even in PS5.
If you know what you are doing.
So what was the huge change between PS4 and PS5 that made all future iterations redundant, Pero?
Photoshop 4.0 (not the CS4) introduced excellent typography options, also the the introduction of CMYK color profiles who were easy applicable so the color correction became easy it should be etc.. Today, I'm using CS5 and my workflow is mostly the same since PS5. Your creativity is not in conjunction with the version of PS you use. It is your imagination that creates beautiful photos, designs..
I would love to see ACR incorporate film negative linear gamma 'raw' scans into its algorithms. Currently I'm fudging about using ColorPerfect plugin via VueScan, and the neg scans are messing with the Lightroom digital file workflow. It would be great to incorporate this into ACR :)
Adobe Photoshop is the most bloated piece of software on the market... photographic or otherwise. If they'd spend half the energy on streamlining the product they already have, vs. continually releasing a stream of releases with minor tweaks, they might have a much larger audience.
Yeah, I get it about those who have already invested years in learning the hidden secrets of the megalith. Frankly, I'd rather spend the time photographing.
When are people going to say enough with the frosting. Please bake a new cake?
I don't get it. Do you not like the software because it's bloated, or because you can't use it properly?
Lightroom was the new cake: A complete tool for photographers to manage, develop, share, and print photos. Photoshop can do a lot more, but for basic photography you don't need it.
But they wouldn't have all the money.
It cost 699. Now they think people are stupid enough to subscribe to it for $50 a month for the cloud version.
That's 600 a year every year.
2 years 1200
3 years 1800
No wonder people keep pirating software.
How are they not streamlining the program when they've rewritten so many functions for multicore and GPU, and rewritten so many features to be easier and simpler? The crop tool is simpler. The lens corrections are far superior to the old "perspective crop." The Print dialog is much better than it used to be. Sometimes it seems like people are just complaining and not really paying attention.
If you want the streamlined version get Photoshop Elements at 1/7 the cost
Before the spot healing brush strokes applied at the end, there is obvious grass in the rock where the head was - not very impressive at all. The final version is not bad, I acknowledge.
On a separate point, pity about the dark tree top, likely a result of a graduated ND filter.
This is a joke, right? (content aware) I had PS CS6 for 25 days. Sent it back and re-installed PS CS5. Too many bugs. Maybe the revised PS CS6 will have these corrected. For whatever reason Adobe has always in the past (anyway) always comes up with the .1 or .2 version that fixes many bugs.
Not much difference. I've been correcting spherical distortion for years using a negative value spherize filter in PS6. I do like that you can selectively adjust distortion in CS6 ! Show us something more dramatic ?
Lanscape photographer with fish-eye .. um yea. Straightening what lines? Mountains? Trees? Rivers? Yea everything in nature tends to be "straight as line". :D
For urban landscape photographer (where fish-eyes are somewhat normal), yes. But for nature landscape photographer, not really.. and its not something that PTlens cant do..
Concerning HDR editing in 32 bits you don't need CS6 : if you have CS5 and LR4.1 you can do the same : choose the 3,5,7 photos you want to combine and then choose "Merge to HDR" once this is done in PS, choose save as a 32 bits file; when you are back to LR4.1, you will be able to tweak that 32bits HDR with process 2012 just as if you were using CS6 and ACR 7.1 ; indeed, you have ACR 7.1 in LR4.1.
The wide angle filter needs a Ken-Rockwell style before-and-after mouse-over. To my untrained eyes all I see is a slight straightening of lines.
Seriously now, can someone claim that we 've seen miracles in Ps after the version CS2? Anyone with the CS2 plus the plugins that a serious user needs is almost ahead of the CS6. Pls add LR too..
CS2 has some serious bugs in scripting and CS3/CS4 added plug-in support to scripting. CS2 is not without its own problems. As for miracles there in God's domain no man will ever be able to create a universe. CS2, CS4,CS5 and CS6 have more bugs then CS3.
Seriously, now, can someone tell me why Photoshop is necessary for photographers at all? It's designed for graphics folks. I haven't found a need for it for processing photos for a decade. LR does what I need for 999 out of 1000 shots, and the other .1% can be dealt with by PS Elements no problem.
I concur with ljfinger entirely. CS is not a tool for photographers. I don't even see the need for Elements, what with a tool as powerful as Lightroom (or its super smart alternative, the DxO Optics Pro).
I stopped at 4
I would start a new version for photographers if I were Adobe
make it easy to mask, use framing actions, etc
You've obviously never used one of the newer version. Content-Aware fill, newer versions of Camera RAW, the photomerge/stitching/HDR tools, and more are all light years ahead of CS2. I upgraded from CS2 to CS4 and it was worth it for better ACR alone. Then I upgraded to CS5.5 and was wowed by how much better it did many things I regularly use Photoshop to do. You should download the demo.
"I don't even see the need for Elements, what with a tool as powerful as Lightroom (or its super smart alternative, the DxO Optics Pro)."
I pretty much just use Elements for compositing and the occasional clone/heal nightmare that LR can't handle. Can't do that in Lightroom. Still, like I said, 1 in 1000, if that.
If you look at the new feature list on Wikipedia, the "miracle features" list actually accelerated after CS2.
If you don't need the features that were added after CS2, all that means is that your needs are simple, and Photoshop was never the program you should have been using in the first place. You were overpaying because you were over-speccing your tool, like buying an expensive wrench that is supposed to be for racing teams, not homeowners.
Furthermore, if you tried to pay for enough plug-ins to match what CS6 does, you would have paid more in plug-ins than for the retail price of CS6.
I'm always fascinated by the logic that revolves around "if I don't need it no-one should need it". It usually followed up by "If you do need it then something's wrong with you." I assure you that Photoshop offers so many features that photographers need.
One use - in my case -is that frequently have to photograph dark rooms with movies and videos playing. This requires masking layering and compositing. New features like quick selection etc helps take the sting out.
Others have different needs - Photoshop does it and does it well.
Does the standard license which is 831 euro's for CS6 include the usage/installing on two or three computers (of the same owner?) I own a laptop and desktop and cannot find if I can use CS 6 on both.
I think that there is no policy of any sw company taht denies to use its sw in both your own desktops and laptop....
Yes, i think 2 u can use. And if you do it via Creative Cloud, i believe one copy can be Win and the other can be Mac. Or so i think.
Need some advice. I am planning on buying either the Canon 5D Mark iii r Nikon D800 very soon - not because I am a pro but really because I don't want to upgrade for a few years. Can someone tell me if software choice is dependent on the hardware, or are application like Adobe Photoshop CS6 suitable for workflow of either of these cameras? Thanks
D800 image files will be big so you might want to add memory to your computer to process them, and they will fill up hard drive space more quickly.
Is the unscharp fix in it? http://edudemic.com/2011/10/adobe-photoshop-unblur/
That is a technology demo. It won't be available for a while.
Also it was revealed later that the images they used were artificially blurred, so it wasn't exactly real anyway.
I'm unfortunately an occasional user of CS4. Could anyone tell me whether they have fixed the following problems in CS6:
1. Have Adobe finally managed to implement the RH mouse control to, for example, enable the setting of a clone point without having to simultaneously dab the alt key whilst pressing the LH mouse control?
2. Does the overlaying of images for stitching or stacking now work properly?
3. Does PS6 manage to stitch more than two images correctly and in less than half an hour on an i5 machine?
4. Do the stitch projections now work.
5. Have they provided a NX2 style selection pen to replace the almost completely useless lasso tool?
I'll carry on using PTGUI, NX2 and Corel until these problems are fixed.
BTW I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely disgusted that Adobe can ask 650GBP (or 250GBP for an upgrade) for such half-baked software.
1. There are some RH mouse options, but the alt/opt key is still required for the clone source
2. Yes
3. N/a
4. Yes
5. No
These answers are my experience and yes, I agree that PS is overpriced.
look great
but what should i do ?
save -2 and +2 16 tiff file with camera raw
should i load these 2 files in camera raw????
i did not understand how can i perform an hdr inside acr 7.1
Hi Mantra,
you can't create HDR files within ACR.
you have to first merge the files with different exposure into a 32bitHDR file using another program.. for example: photoshop / Photomatix etc..
the update only allows ACR to recognize HDR files and give you more control over the file.
thanks !
in short the new acr can read photomatix (for example) hdr file,right?
Must be me but CS5 and 6 may give you fancy tools you might want, but they're not things you actually need.
Bill Gates states CS7 will fix that and give you great new innovative features sign up now and preorder CS7 it will be the greatest Photoshop evey .... till CS8
Yeah.. and Apple has a 10MP front facing camera available in an iphone already.. but it won't be released for 5 more years because they need to first release the iphones with a 5MP, 6MP, 7MP, and 8MP camera..
Companies are in the game to make money.... if you don't like to pay, then use freeware/shareware...
Not sure what Bill Gates or Apple have to do with Adobe...?
Competition drives quality and features, and Photoshop has become so much the de facto standard that few people choose any alternatives. They do exist, but mostly end up playing catch-up, or switch to producing Photoshop plugins instead...
Well I just ordered the upgrade a couple days ago . Skipped CS5 altogether. It was time.
A great tool for photographers that have the skills to use it.
I spent 20 years in a darkroom and the last 10 years using PS.
Lightroom is part of my workflow and PS is used when needed to finish.
CS6 will become usable when its many bugs are exterminated as is its not a program I will use.
I'm not picking on you or anyone else, but all the comments I hear about bugs makes me think that either you're trying to run a new piece of software on an aging machine or you're having problems with the software that you can't figure out. It's not a simple program to learn and after 10+ years I'm still running into challenges. I have a two step process when I run into problems. 1. I'll take advantage of Adobe's Help search and 2. If I'm really stuck, I'll post a question on Adobes web-based Forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
Just like here at DPReview, there's a whole community of Photoshop people willing to help you.
Have you any idea how bad this patch tool example is? You've ended up with two identical rippled areas in the water where the tripod legs were eliminated. What is needed here is a more 'content aware' photographer/editor!
+ 1! Not bothering to clone out the repetitions etc is just hopeless. 15 minutes work for anyone who half-knows how to use PS (and I base my opinion on using CS3!.
Too much edition makes the photo a photocrop made by Photoshop. Do we need a good camera and lens?
I think he has a point. This is supposedly for photographers and our job is to get as much right in-camera and then use PS for fine tuning
A preposterous comment. What proportion of users has access to "academic pricing"?
How about "Always a great product especially if you're a merchant banker"?
That would be millions of students, teachers, and lecturers.
Academic pricing is particularly valuable for students, allowing them access to great tools like this which they perhaps could not otherwise afford.
Some of those students will become the next generation of photographers.
You need to consider the larger picture, SeeRoy.
Looks like the content aware fill mode ended up putting a patch of grass on the rock on the best case (very strict), but the "minor" spot healing cleaned it up? I think that's worth mention!
OK, I have to say: the artificial radial blur and tilt shift blur are things I truly dislike. When blur has nothing to do with focus it just makes me annoyed, and detracts from the image in my opinion. These "features" are not a draw, to me.
Well I guess that just plays off of your aesthetic sense. For something with a traditional photographic look it doesn't fit but for a more fantastical photo-manipulation it could work very well.
Photography is one of many different art forms that derive from the capture of still imagery.
Mr, Evening,
Thank you for taking the time to point out these PS CS6 photography tools. I am also appreciative of your Lr4 and PS CS6 books. They have been quite helpful to me.
Thank you
Ditto what Art said. I'm a illustrator and photographer both and can't understand the flack that Photoshop is getting in this thread. I use it constantly in both endeavors, and it works well. Lightroom may be just fine, but I've used Photoshop beginning with version 7.0 and have few complaints.
I purchased 3 and 4
Use Lightroom for photos
and CS4 for web design
Just can't be bothered to keep upgrading for minor tweaks
The price of this software has always kept me away. I prefer to use PP as little as possible and so bought Corel Paint Shop Pro X3 for $30.
Does heaps more than I need. So more than happy with that thanks.
To use CS I think one would need to be a very serious PP user.
Out of all these heavily marketed (by Scott Kelby & Co) new features in CS6 only the new ACR 7.1 makes sense.
But all these ACR 7.1 improvements are available at a better price in LR4.1 No need to upgrade you PS.
Problems arise when a company has a monopoly and needs to raise revenue by forcing people to buy upgrades. Get a new digital camera and you have to purchase the latest version of Photoshop. My first version of Photoshop was 3 and that was because Adobe bought out the software company whose product I was using and killed the software. They did that with the company that produced the product that became Lightroom, Adobe did it with Pagemaker, and they did it with Macromedia which produced Freehand and Flash. Adobe has through the years bought up its competition until now there are no competitors for Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, etc. and Apple is not really a competitor when they only produce software versions that will run only on Apple computers.
This is reflected in the price of the Adobe software and their low level of customer service.

In Focus: Ara Güler's Anatolia
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery
Ara Güler, the "Eye of Istanbul," is famous for his iconic snapshots of the city in the 1950s and '60s. But with an archive of more than 800,000 photographs, Güler's body of work contains far more than these emblematic images. In December 2013, the Freer and Sackler Galleries will open an exhibition of never-before-shown works by the legendary photographer. Curated by Johns Hopkins University students in partnership with the museums, the installation will examine Güler's definition of himself as a photojournalist through the presentation of his photographs. Featured are photographs of medieval Seljuk and Armenian buildings that Güler took in 1965. The exhibition therefore brings images of important Anatolian monuments to an American audience, highlighting Turkey's cultural history. Beyond appreciating their subject matter, the display asks visitors to think critically about the way images were created. Pushing the boundaries of traditional curatorial practice, this exhibition guides viewers into a critical debate about photography: documentation versus art. Event begins at

The Peacock Room Comes to America: Exhibiting Freer's Bibles
Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution
In November 1912 museum founder Charles Lang Freer put two rare biblical manuscripts on public view in his Detroit home.

Become familiar with Service-Learning
Help others in your community
Benefit from community partnerships
What is AmeriCorps?
Service-learning provides great benefits for communities as well as the students, teachers, faculty, schools and campuses when these are joined in partnerships to work together to help meet community needs.
Though community can be defined in numerous ways, a general description could simply define it as: a group of people sharing common goals or interests. Communities have many unmet needs which could provide excellent learning opportunities for various disciplines, subject areas and ages of individuals. Non profit organizations, agencies, programs, schools and other "communities" welcome, and can benefit from, student involvement to bring fresh new perspectives, problem solving skills, expertise, and extra hands to help meet their needs.
If interested in building a partnership, community members and faculty are encouraged to contact the UNK Office for Service-Learning for connections and personal contact information. Many partnerships already exist between campus and the community, and others are interested in developing these connections.
Information about UNK faculty who are currently, or have recently, implemented service-learning in the classroom curriculum, is also available through this Office. Faculty from all four of the UNK colleges have participated in service-learning training institutes and would be interested in sharing information with other interested faculty members.
Examples of UNK faculty/student work in the community

First hurdle clearedPosted Tuesday, April 15, 2008, at 4:06 PM
Please pardon me for passing on some good news about myself.
On May 21, 1992, a gracious donor lost his life and I received a kidney. Dr. Robert Ritchie, a great surgeon at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, did a magnificent job of performing the transplant surgery. Dr. Harold Helderman has done an excellent job of caring for me since the transplant. There was a very real possibility the kidney would be damaged by the dye used last week in the catheterization of my heart to determine the extent of problems. Dr. Pete Fong took every possible precaution during that procedure early last week at Vanderbilt. Blood tests this morning revealed the kidney was not damaged. In fact, the numbers were better than before I even encountered this latest problem. God is indeed watching over me and all of you mean more than I, who made a living with words, can even begin to express for your kind, thoughtful and caring messages. Comments Showing most recent comments first [Show in chronological order instead] Thanks Josh. Toughest part will be May 8 but with my faith in God, great surgeons and good friends I'll make it. -- Posted by bomelson on Wed, Apr 16, 2008, at 10:16 PM

It's great to hear that, Bo. You've been an important part of the Community for many years and we will be keeping you in our prayers. Funny that your name came up in conversation yesterday at the softball field. I was dicussing softball with Cascade football Coach, Kenny Parker. He was remembering how much a softball pitcher who got away with "crow hopping" bothered you several years ago and you'd take several pictures of it just to prove you were right. We both got a good laugh about it. Anyway, hope everything works out for you and please keep us updated! -- Posted by Mike Molder on Wed, Apr 16, 2008, at 6:46 AM
Good news is always like music to my ears....Prayers work's wonder's...Bo you will be in my prayers for a while...And your family too...Keep us up-dated on any new's.. -- Posted by rebelrose on Tue, Apr 15, 2008, at 11:19 PM

This was a very challenging year for the Sandy Creek-Lacona Red Kettle campaign due to limited ringing days and volunteers as the result of widespread illness in the area.
The campaign was successful this year due to the generous donations from the community through the Coterie Clubs Memory Wreath program. The local Red Kettle campaign was the recipient of these donations, and that helped offset the decrease in funds collected at the Red Kettle.
In addition to previous donations made to the community, the funds raised during the 2011 Red Kettle campaign were used during the 2012 holiday season to purchase 176 turkeys for the Christmas baskets distributed by the Friendship Shoppe and by the Redfield Food Pantry, and we also assisted one family with food and one with a fuel purchase.
The money raised through the 2012 Red Kettle project will be available to aid community members and may also generate additional funds through grants.
A special thanks to all of you who so generously reached into your pockets and your hearts to help others. This is a wonderful community to live in.
Jackie Gregg
The writer is the Red Kettle coordinator in the Sandy Creek-Lacona area.

Rainbow Research Baby Oh Baby® Organic Herbal Body Wash -- 8 fl oz
Love this scent!
I love this! It's is so gentle on young skin(one of the best natural products for children)and smells soooo good! My only complaint about this product is that it isn't made in a shampoo and/or conditioner. I love this herbal smell and can't find anything like it elsewhere for our hair! I use it just as much as my children do, so it goes pretty fast in our house. Again though, I wish Rainbow Research made this scent in a shampoo and/or conditioner. Other than that, it is great and I would recommend it to others.

softens your skin
This product is labeled for babies but grown ups can use it too. It actually has a slight manly scent and it really softens and cleans your skin very well.

Smells Like Mens Cologne
Our bottle doesn't smell like an essential oil/herb blend at all...it smells just like mens cologne! After washing my son's hair my husband smelled him and laughed and said he smells like he's going on a date. Other than the smell it works fine, lathers good and doesn't over dry but I won't buy again, the smell is too strong for a baby. I might as well be washing him in Old Spice!
September 26, 2010
big time fav
i've tried many differnt washes for my daughter (almost 3 yrs now) and i this product always comes out on top. it has an amazing clean (all natural)fragrance that everyone loves, and it's tear free so it can be shampoo and body wash in one. LOVE THIS STUFF!

Rice is first in receptions (1,549); Moss is ninth (982). Rice and Moss are first and second in touchdown catches, but Rice has a sizeable lead (197-156).
Will Moss catch Rice in any of those categories? Consider this: The career numbers for Moss at 35 are similar to Rice, who had 1,050 receptions for 16,377 yards and 156 touchdowns after his age 35 season.
Of course, Rice followed that up with six consecutive 800-yard seasons and tacked on 41 more touchdowns before retiring at 42 years old.
Moss, on the other hand, hasn't had a truly productive year since 2009, his final full season with the New England Patriots. In 2010, Moss spent time with the Patriots, Vikings and Titans. After a year in retirement, Moss returned this season with the 49ers.
Their legacies are vastly different, and as Irvin mentioned, Moss has no hardware to flash. Rice has three Super Bowl rings.
Moss reiterated his point again Wednesday, but why back down from the narrative? He said he revolutionized the game, which is hard to argue. Numbers don't tell the entire story, he said, which is also true.
Pete Rose is the all-time hits leader in Major League Baseball history, but not many would argue he's the greatest hitter, right?
Moss made a similar argument Wednesday.
"If you sit here and just said, 'Who is the greatest running back?' Statistically it is Emmitt Smith. People would say Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers or Jim Brown. Their numbers do not match Emmitt Smith, but people would say Emmitt Smith is the best running back?"
DJ Steve Porter compiled several Moss one-liners into a video that has nearly five million views on YouTube.
"I'm going to say what I want to say," Moss repeats in Porter's song.
"Did I say anything stupid today?"
Stupid? Nah. Savvy? Yep.
"Sometimes we think brothers are not as smart because you make comments like 'straight cash homey,'" Irvin told Dan Patrick on Wednesday, "but obviously he's smarter than you think."
And if you exhausted any energy arguing the hottest topic from Super Bowl Media Day, consider yourself Mossed.

The Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge is in good shape, a report says, but needs more than $100 million worth of repairs.
Meeting Wednesday, the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority reviewed a seven-page report on the 53-year-old bridges 2012 biennial inspection by the Modjeski and Masters.
The findings resulting from the 2012 biennial inspection of the Ogdensburg bridge revealed the remains in satisfactory to good condition, wrote Modjeski and Masters Senior Associate Richard A. Little to OBPA Executive Director Wade A. Davis in a letter accompanying the report.
But there are what Mr. Little called problem areas or deficiencies that, while not a safety concern, need to be repaired.
They include:
* Painting across the 1.5-mile-long span is in fair to poor condition, missing and corroding. Mr. Davis said itd cost $65 million to repair.
* Steel that has been cracked by fatigue has been repaired, but more needs to be fixed. The cost, Mr. Davis estimated, is $39 million.
* The condition of the bridges main cables and suspenders havent been investigated in-depth for 16 years. To do so would cost an estimated $900,000 and, Mr. Davis said, a possible total expense of $5 million.
Funding to pay for the repairs will be sought from what Mr. Davis called a mosaic of state and federal grants.
This is a very expensive project, he said. Well do it in phases over a number of years.

CURRENT ISSUE (#50) Spring/Summer 2012
"1966 (After O'Hara)" and "Our Father Returns From His Travels"
by James Harms
1966 (After O'Hara)
I was never a child but I played with Philip and Lee in the center of the schoolyard.
I loved the leather balls and the box of jacks and I hugged Philip too hard.
I tried to let her see me, Louise, but she dropped her glasses and stepped on them and ground the lenses with her heel as if to say I will never see you.
And I was never a child but why must we why have we stopped playing?
How far away it is, the center of anywhere, the schoolyard.
Where is Philip, where is Lee?
Our Father Returns From His Travels
The swim took longer than we thought. We stared back across the cove and waited for our wind to return. He couldn't say, wasn't sure why he'd sent the blank postcards from Palma, from Lisbon. But in Andorra he'd eaten a salad of local grasses dressed with almond oil and wine . . . the waiter worked the almond press right there beside the table.
In front of us, the wake of a passing yacht slapped the rocks and loosened limpets and yellow starfish. The tide pools flashed and shivered as if filled with new dimes, with mercury. Remember, he said, your mother's terrible casseroles?
But I was imagining what I would say to you, later, over drinks at the Charthouse, the harbor far below filling with returning boats, evening just beyond the edge of the world waiting. Your eyes above a gimlet would catch the day's last light and turn the color of a rose, like windows at dusk, the raw sunset softened by Pacific distances.
Our father remembering:

My DIY Cable Card install was simple--how was yours? (poll)
Remember Cable Card? It's still around, quietly allowing owners of TiVos and Home Theater PCs, via devices like the HDHomeRun Prime, to get the full complement of cable TV programming without having to use the company-issued DVR or cable box.
At CNET we've tested a few Cable Card products, including TiVos and the now-defunct Moxi DVR. The latter product was still hanging around the CNET offices so I decided to test it out for myself at home.
I called up Verizon (I'm a Fios TV subscriber) last week, told the rep I had a third-party DVR and … Read more
