This is my FAQ page, for my most commonly asked questions on Instagram.
How do I process my images? How do I get them from my camera to my phone?
As you can see, from the list below, I shoot with Canon equipment. I shoot in RAW, and transfer my images to my Mac to process them in Adobe Lightroom. I then output my images (1500 pixels (longest side), 72 dpi, jpg (quality 100), sRGB). I output at a larger size then needed on Instagram in case I want to crop after processing on my phone.
I transfer the outputted images to my dropbox folder (don’t have dropbox? Use my referral link for 500MB of bonus storage space upon sign-up). With Dropbox, anywhere I have an internet connection I have access to my images. Once the download (to my phone) is complete I then delete the image from Dropbox, so I won’t accidentally post the same image again (that has happened a few times, ooops!). At that point I may do some final processing in either VSCOcam or Musecam, as sometimes the image looks different on my phone than it did in LR, and I just might want to tweak the result a little bit, before I upload the image to Instagram.
