JERSEY WAR TUNNELS EDITS AND FINAL SELECTION PROCESS
Initially, I downloaded all my images on to the computer and opened into Lightproof Classic and began the selection process. Firstly, i determined whether to keep each image or not by flagging the imagine or not and then leading on to making ratings out of five on each imagine. With 1 being to lowest rating up to 5 being the best. This helped slim and refine my images even more. Finally the final process was selecting different shades of colours on top star rated images in order to further decrease my final selection. This is the best process as it enables be to quickly cleans out old and unusable images and refines to only the out of that particular selection.
