Part two: which pics look good and which look not so good. Best way to get a good shot (yes, even professionals PhotoShop) is to use different settings. Light, aperture (still working with f-stops), shutter speed and ISO settings (I tend to use ISO 80; must remember to research ISO but the higher you go the more grain and noise in a pic). Here's a leather wrap bracelet I don't think I posted. Beautiful 6mm beach glass rounds and red leather and a silver toned button. Out of 5 pics one was completely unusable. For some reason it was completely out of focus. So here are the four that worked: And number 5 which is way out of focus practically everywhere except for maybe part of the button: So, second lesson is to decide which pic to work on. The less editing done the better the final result will be, which is why taking a good pic the first time is easier than trying to fix a really bad one. (Hint: while the red of the glass rounds is perfect the leather is not the real color. So, maybe that will be part of the next step.)

How did this get lost? 1. A beautiful piece, I love the contrast with the red beads shining out of the middle. 2. ISO 80? Why do you use that? I always used ISO 200, only I can't say why. I seem to remember I read it somewhere or possibly it was the standard on the camera, but I have been pretty happy with it, so I hardly ever change it.
