One of my biggest disappointments photographically speaking are my wedding pictures. Obviously I didn’t do them, and I don’t blame the photographer, but something went terribly wrong when they were taken and a great many were unusable. They look horribly overexposed, but I think the real culprit may have been equipment failure. At any rate, last night I played with a few of them to see if I could save them. Again, I didn’t spend a lot of time working on any one shot – I was more interested in whether or not I could do anything to save them than I was in actually coming up with works of art.

Again, I have a long way to go to say I’m “good” with PE. But my point is, these shots may be salvageable. I never thought that till last night, so I’m willing to try. I am a bit worried that they will look over processed, but the reason for that is, they WILL be over processed, which will be necessary to save them. The question is, how far is too far? How far would you go to save photos that cannot be replaced?
