GFF's Guide to selecting and using the right software


From Feathers to Bits

By Martin Joergensen (supported by Steve Schweitzer)

Having the right software can get you even better results when editing photos for the web.

Software
Preferred applications
GFF Author Martin Joergensen uses only two programs, which come in both Mac and PC-versions.

  
Programs like Photoshop have som extremely useful - and advanced - facilities.
Photoshop
Adobe's photo-editing battle ship, which is expensive but hard to be without, once you have tried it. It is the de facto standard for professional work, and has e huge number of facilities including the best editing, adjustment tools, automation and filters in the business. It can be expanded with plug in filters and different other tools including GIF and JPEG exports.
It is expensive, but man, it is nice!

ImageReady
This is also an Adobe Program. It can be bought separately, but is boxed with Photoshop in that program's latest version. Image Ready has some state-of-the-art GIF and JPEG facilities and an interactive preview function, which makes producing properly compressed pictures a piece of cake.

Burning Man

This strange popper came out of Martin Joergensen's vice recently and has already proved its value several times. See why it might be interesting to you, how to tie it (in meticulous details) as well as how it moves - and in video too! And learn why it's called Burning Man.

Asp Parade

Some refer to the asp (Aspius aspius) as the "poor man's tarpon" but according to Hungarian Vilmos Varga it's a quarry onto itself, worth pursuing with a fly rod and a bunch of large streamers, giving you a lot of fun and something new to catch.

Fly patterns

Mart's Parachute Ant

During the warmer months of the year, they are just about anywhere... Ants. Martin Westbeek shows an easy way to tie a good ant imitation that will sit well on the surface and hopefully lure trout or grayling.

Your best indicators!

Norwegian Geir Kjensmo has developed a strike indicator with the aim of reducing wind resistance and making easy depth adjustments. As a bonus with these indicators can be fished on very long leaders without the indicator stopping in the top ring of your rod when trying to land a fish.
