Day 32 - Alphabet

Yesterday my sister-in-law Ali and her boyfriend Mike came up for a visit. I was having too much fun to have much time for pictures, but took a few of our refrigerator magnets.

There's this annoying problem of trying to get my whites to match. My three shots of the same refrigerator are different colors because of my angle of shooting, and also I think the color of the magnets affects how the software interprets "Auto Levels" which is what I typically use to quickly process my photos. I know this issue would be much more easily resolved if I shot in RAW because I'd still be able to adjust the white balance, but I currently don't have a photo-editing program that can process in RAW. I have PS7, and apparently it was the first year they had a RAW converter, but it's an extra $100 for that add-on.

I could most likely fix the problem if I fiddled a while with different layers, but I usually don't spend much time in PS with these photos. I'm hoping sometime in the near future I can purchase CS5, but even at the 80% student discount it's still $400.
