Re: Display Calibration
For monitors, at the budget end of the $$$ scale, look to either the Datacolor Spyder3 Elite - about $180-90 at B&H. On sale recently for $148 at B&H. or Xrite i1Display Pro (new, replaces the i1Display 2) - about $250 at B&H last week. I've specifically mentioned these due you indicating that you are looking to a dual… -
Re: A Day in the Life of Dgrin! - THE BIG REVEAL!...
My husband has been planning for months to mountain bike the 102-mile-long White Rim of Canyonlands National Park in a day (WRIAD) on April 19. He initially planned this epic ride back in November, but Canyonlands' upper elevations were uncharacteristically blanketed with eight to twelve inches of white stuff when we… -
Re: Question about my opinion on skin processing
In my opinion, it depends on what is the asking of the photo. Take a few scenarios as examples. Scenario 1: You are hired to do some high-end fashion stuffs where the company wants to showcase their line of fashion clothings and accessories. The company also hired a model for you. You do your thing and give them the… -
Re: Hitting a Wall on Manual Shooting in Small Studio Setup with Strobes.
Trish, You asked "Questions: What is the sequence of setting the aperture and the shutter speed for when I shoot in manual? Is what I described above, correct?

Re: Help me get the color right
This is a surprisingly difficult image. Each of the four subjects have different skin tones and they don't all like to be treated alike. The boy's face badly needs to be reconstructed and in fact they can all use more facial detail. Getting this back without leaving artifacts is challenging. Here is my attempt: Original… -

Another Home Brew- Intel Core i7 PC Build
Jeff has posted his build photos for his killer computer so I figured I should do the same. But first, do you know how long it takes to open three Canon 50D RAW files in LR 2.3, apply some global adjustments, and then open them all up in Photoshop CS3 when you have an AMD 4600+ running at something like 1.8GHz and a… -
Virtual Gallery & Keywording Customization
Hi Everyone I'm undertaking a major redesign of my website and I'm giving serious consideration to making SmugMug an integral part of the site. I have some concept of the directions I wish to go but before I go down that path, I was hoping to get some feedback from the SmugMug community as to the feasibility and… -
Headshot Marathon, Day 2 (C&C)
Whoosh. Yesterday was the second session for the college acting students (first session thread here). There were 7 scheduled, but due to a snafu two turned up for the same time, meaning I did a total of 8 of 'em. I was absolutely fried by the end! Until the last half hr, it was much - MUCH - brighter than the previous… -
My version of the "DSLR vs P&S" debate
First, hi from a new (Smugger? Mugger? SM'er? Grinner? :) ). It was "features" like the warm community, and Don & team's tireless customer advocacy that made me sign up just days ago over Fl*ckr. While this is an oft maligned debate, I know that I personally enjoy and benefit from each person's unique perspective, so I…
