Greetings,
looking for good links or books to resources for digital darkroom techniques.
Editing process, theory, and any kinds of tips and tricks appreciated.
Also quirks and usage of PS RAW plugin are awesome also. Just discovered the "alt" features in there.
tanks peeps.

I'd love to know as well, I've got a years worth of raw images that I will edit and base a new portfolio on. I need to learn some workflow tips as well.

PS CS2 has multiple RAW editing features in the new raw plugin, Looks sweet.

PS is the best I have used so far. There are more advanced ones out there, but for workflow I found PS has more tricks. The only article I have seen recently was in a magazine called photoshop user.
Tip one. If you have a setting you like and feel safe to apply it to a group of files you can save the setting in the raw plug-in and apply it to selected images in image browser. Then if you want to do some batching, create an action starting with an open command and when you are ready select the override action "open" command in the batch window.

Not sure what you're getting at but many manufactorers have their own software(nikon capture editor, etc.) but photoshop has a RAW editor that allows for adjustments before opening as a PSD. And there's alot you can adjust in RAW mode including exposure.
