Is the job easier now that we shoot digital?
Feb 8th, 2008 by Bryan Eaton
Getting the right photo that tells the story still takes the same skills. Digital has made lots of things easier — it’s faster and easier to edit your photos and you have a better idea if you have a strong image before you leave the scene. Like any tool, it’s just that. A tool. So Photoshop is just another step in getting the image that we see and capture transferred to the newspaper, or Web, so that our readers can then see it. I don’t think we tried harder with film, but digital has made us more sure of the mechanical part of the news gathering.

I totally agree! I love digital compared to print - I hated having to develop the pics…. now it’s just a quick button to upload and photoshop and voila!! Love it!
