Hi there. Although, I've been using PS since version 4, I've never taken a class in it.

Is there a general rule of thumb on what steps and in what order you should approach when improving an image?

Here is a FAKE example...

1. Resize to priting dimensions
2. Sharpen
3. Saturate
4. Dodge and burn where needed
5. Brightness contrast
6. Color correct

This would help me a lot and some others I suppose....

If you can't share your technique....can you suggest a book?

Thanks,

Eric
