Removing artifacts is a matter of personal taste. If these artifacts attracts attention of which they should not (like very bright small spots on the background) I would rather recommend cloning them out. Dodging and burning is a persoanl taste of mine to direct the attention of the viewers to my main element. It has to be done moderately, otherwise that too will attract too much attention and instead of making your image stronger it might actually weaken it. Hope this helps, Nate.

Thxs for the quick response Jiro. I'm routinely shooting a two-year old with blue eyes so I'm shooting fast and then dealing with a lot of red-eye fixes (I count that as an artifact) in post-processing. Following along those lines, I was inquiring more as to where that fix would fit into your workflow. For me it's usually right before Sharpening and Export.

Hi Jiro,

thanks for the LR workflow - but now you gave me the argument to get PS. The changes made by PS are flabbergasting.

Cheers,

Marcus

I think you are on the right track. Do the sharpening after all the corrections has been done to the image. Hope this helps, Nate.

The LR and Photoshop combo is an awesome combination. If you can afford to have both then the only limit is your imagination, Marcus. Cheers.
