what are some things you guys do to clean up your digital photos, so they look more crisp and clean?
i usually start out with levels, then use the unsharpen mask, and adjust the brightness and contrast.
anything other little things you guys do?

I use a 2megapixel digital elph.
And I don't have to touch up my photos. Except for the night ones. My flash sux A$$.

made me laugh too.
I think the levels and the unsharp mask are generally decent ways to pep up your photo.....
if your camera has the same colour shirts or grain all the time, play with the curves or variations as well, you could probably write an action to fix it up faster as well...
I am getting the new canon digital rebel for xmas, so f*ck all of you....and merry xmas!

I have this camera and I think it may be the one you have as well. Check this out:

read about the flash modes and manually selecting exposures. I find adjusting the exposure for night time as well as day time gives me better shots. But of course its a small flash so you can really only do so much.

cant remember whos blog site it was on here recently, but the dude had a nice glowing look on his digi pics....
"yes, the photos are mostly manipulated.
I duplicate the image layer, gaussian blur (radius=3-6px), set blending to "overlay, and reduce opacity to around 50%, and add white border layer"

gives em quite a nice glow/lomo style look if you are into fukin with the pics :)

We have several thousand photos on our site, and for the images resized to use on the site we just run a batch Action:
- resize to max width/height
- unsharp mask 20% to resharpen after the resize
- Autocontrast (sets the black and white extremes for a bit more 'snappiness'
- copyright tagging etcThe images out of the camera rarely need any adjustment, except for a bit of levels work if shooting in low-light. Always sharp and good color balance. (Nikon 5700)
