I thought it might be a good idea to post about how to train your eyes. We have all posted about chems, about dwell times, about masking and things like that. So how is it you can follow the steps folks describe and not get to where you want to be? To me, over time you can see certain things as you work, and you know what they mean and you know you have to deal with them. Hence, tips to train your eyes....
I'll post a couple examples to get us started....
