needing a little help

[edandsandy]

Here are a few pics from the other day of our tank... I know I need a little help with shooting and editing, BTW, these have not been edited at all, as you can tell :lol:

I am having a difficult time with shooting in RAW and saving as a JPEG. I am using Photoshop Elements 7, any advise is appreciated.

Cool looking reef, but what seems to be the problem?

THANKS!
WOW, coming from you, I guess I don't have a problem :lol:

I am trying to get the white balance and shutter speed correct so, what setting can I use so the fish don't look so blurry

Wow you have a really nice tank. The photo looks fine to me too.

How many gallons?

Faster shutter speed will help with the blurry fish

Increase ISO to up to 800 and open up the aperture of the lens. Both of these steps will allow you to speed up the shutter speed to prevent fish blur. There are down sides, though. Increased ISO leads to graininess. Fully open aperture reduces the depth of field so that only objects within a certain distance are in sharp focus.

Since your images lack EXIF data, we can't tell what settings you used. In Photoshop if you select "save for web" it strips EXIF data. I'm not sure if Elements has a similar function. If so, use "Save as" not "Save for web". Can you share what lens, aperture, ISO and shutter speed you used?

Yep, save for web strips the data in Elements also. You must use Save As.
