I just got into photography, as a background.
So I started fiddling around with my film scans. I used Gimp a little bit, but then I downloaded Digikam, which is more noobish and has lots of easy to apply PP stuff.
One thing I've noticed is that the Auto Levels tends to do a pretty good job of making color look right to my noobish eyes. And also that the default unsharp mask really seems to improve a majority of my photos...not always, sometimes it ends up looking artificial or annoying. But sometimes, it just looks sharper. So here I am applying unsharp mask and Auto Levels to like 75% of my photos...which come from raw film scans, so sure the colors might be a bit off...but am I doing something wrong?
