This article showed some really good software to test in the future as we have been on the subject of color theory in Lighting Design, and we have been assigned to put together slideshows of photos that all have the same essence of time of day or location. In this stage of the process, it is important for us to be able to do these things by hand, but as we get older it is imperative that we are able to perform tasks while being incredibly conscious of time. In the professional world, we are called to produce incredible quality work in a time frame that doesn’t always lend itself nicely to that. As we begin careers, we have to be able to figure out what does and does not work for us through trial and error, and how we can produce our best work while following the proper timetables.
