I don't know how to edit photo in Photoshop though I have PS CS3 on my laptop. At present, what I always did in my PS CS3 is only making watermark and putting them on my photo as all editing was done with another software, a user friendly one.In my early time of photography, I used Picasa to edit all my photos, but after one year using it, I found that it is not enough for me. So I surfed the net to search another software.I am really glad that I bumped into this software that suits to my need in photo editing and the most important "user friendly". This software is similar to Lightroom, but more easy to use and understand. It can be used to process RAW, JPEG and TIFF image files as I was curious to try shooting in RAW. It's called PhotoStudio Darkroom.I started to shoot in RAW since last February and I found it really fun as you can do more in editing than shooting in JPEG. Though shooting in RAW gives me more flexibility and possibility in editing, but I've always tried my best to do less editing as possible. In my book, a photo with heavy editing is like a beautiful girl with tons of make up in her face. Lose her natural beauty!Yup! I am the biggest fan of natural looking photographs, especially food photos. IMHO, food photo doesn't need heavy editing otherwise it will look artificial and make me lose my appetite. Heavy editing is not my cup of tea.I will share you the two type of image files that I edited with PhotoStudio Darkroom.1. JPEG image:Camera: Canon 400D - Lens: 50mm f/1.8Exposure: 13sAperture: f/8ISO: 100Metering: Evaluative MeteringWhite Balance: CloudyDate and Time taken: 02.12.2008, 16:05The photo above I shot with JPEG and the editing process was in increasing contrast, brightness and sharpness. I also cropped the upper side of the spoon. That's all.2. RAW image:Camera: Canon 400D - Lens: 50mm f/1.8Exposure: 1/10sAperture: f/3.2ISO: 100Metering: Partial MeteringWhite Balance: CloudyDate and Time taken: 18.02.2009, 16:05The photo above I shot in RAW file. The editing occurred in increasing contrast, cropping and straightening the image so the cake stood out clearly. That's all.As you might notice that I set my white balance to cloudy for those photo above since I shot them when the sky was cloudy. You can see as well that I love taking photo when it almost dawn as the light is soft. When I shot during shiny day, I always used daylight as the white balance.Hope my short posting about software and the before-after photos could give you something.Have a nice day mates!

If you ask me "Are you that busy even to make fried rice?" Unfortunately the answer is Yes, I am.I really am busy at the moment (that make me wish that one day is 30hours). I am now in the middle of learning AutoCAD so I am able to draw for my thesis. I knew about this software from a long time ago, but never care about it but now. Lucky me that my better half is good in it and he is really good in delivering knowledge as it helps me a lot in understanding the subject.Back to the fried rice, three friends of mine in blogosphere Ayin at AG'S Food, Deta at ...mLebu paWoN... and Shinta at .:Berkreasi di Dapur Mungil:.. are organizing an event called "Masak Bareng Yuukk..!!!" (Let's Cook Together) and I've been skipped two months of the event though I've promised them to join with many reason. Now, for this month, the theme chosen from voting is nasi goreng (fried rice) and no excuse for sure since to make nasi goreng is easy and quick. This reason is one of my reason to delay it, since it needs one hour to be done.I kept on delaying until today in the morning my reader is full with various nasi goreng recipes. I almost gave up with another excuse since today I had to make a cake for my friend's birthday. But, I felt embarrassed to skip again as I don't want to break my promise to them for the third times. Enough!After delivering the cake to my friend at the university (yes, he celebrated his birthday with his colleagues there) and dropped by at my office, I went home and slept. Yup, instead of directly cooked the fried rice, I preferred to sleep as the weather outside was cold and I was tired for getting up early making the cake and cleaning my kitchen afterward. I set my alarm at 2:30PM, but turned it off when it buzzed to wake me up. Fast forward, I got up from bed at 3:30PM and started making fried rice at 4PM.The idea of making this fried rice has been in my mind since nasi goreng was voted as March's theme. I just used simple spices for it and made it colorful (yellow, green, red). It is really quick and easy but for sure tasty. If you don't believe me, please just try it at home. Since the recipe is created by me, this oyster sauce fried rice goes to my dear friend Lore of Culinarty with her Original Recipes Round-up monthly event.Nasi Goreng Saus Tiram (Oyster Sauce Fried Rice)Recipe by meIngredients:1 bowl of cooked rice4 tbsp green soy bean, skin out, boil for 10 minutes, drain4 tbsp corn kernelOyster sauce to taste5 red chilies, angle sliced4 shallots, finely sliced2 cloves of garlic, finely slicedSalt, pepper and sugar to taste1 tsp sesame oilVegetable oilCondiments:OmeletFried shallot (bawang goreng)Method:1.

The apple cake that you can see from the above has an original name "Mom's Apple Cake" as it's written by Deb's mother, the author of Smitten Kitchen. It tasted so delicious that become one of our favorite apple cake. Thank you Deb, please send my regards to your mom.It said that apple is a fruit of winter but in fact, apple is always available through the seasons (at least I always find apple in the supermarket nearby). I like apple, but only the green one or known as Granny Smith's apple. Why? Because it always reminds me of my childhood when I spent my school holiday in my grandfather's house in Batu, Malang, East Java, Indonesia. At that time, my uncle took me to the apple plantation and let me to pick it myself. It was the harvest month of the green apple or known in Indonesia as apel Malang (Malang's apple).Malang's apple is believed to have a good effect for those with high cholesterol and those with cyst in their reproduction system. I don't know that much about Granny Smith's apple (I've searched through the web but found nothing), but after all, eating one apple a day will keep the doctor away.Deb's mom used McIntosh apples to make this apple cake, but I used Granny Smith's apples instead. It was the only thing that I modified from the recipe, the rest I just followed what Deb's written on her blog. I didn't use walnut, as my better half wanted only apple in the cake.For those who needs the recipe, please simply click this link. Make sure you browse around her blog to find another tasty recipes she has posted. Read the rest of this post...
