Re: FINALLY got to play in the studio :) (C&C)
Scott, after what has been possibly the worst week of my LIFE (lots of non-photographic stuff hit the fan), that warm fuzzy post was... well.... very warm and fuzzy. Thank you!!!! Well big fat DUH. I can't believe that didn't occur to me. There I was taking three separate readings from each light and thinking, "Well... now… -
Re: Print vs Online Display: Sharpening Dilemna
right. http://www.smugmug.com/help/display-quality The effects of resizing/sharpening smugmug uses the Lanczos algorithm that many high-end image software packages use to resample images because it preserves the most detail. It is not often seen in packages like Photoshop, because it is CPU-intensive. Preserving detail is… -
Re: Reflectors 101
I'm not Jeff, but I've been known to use a reflector now and again... First and MOST IMPORTANT: It should be a very specific need/look to point any light source DIRECTLY AT your subject. Feather the light, wheather it's by an artificial source or reflected. YMMV 1) Low priced units from Amvona work well 2) I prefer the 42"… -

Re: A Smugmug world with color-managed browsers
I'm sorry, but now you're just talking crazy talk. Greater than 99% of monitors are uncalibrated, and 10 years from now, greater than 99% of monitors will be uncalibrated. End users aren't going to spending countless amounts of time and money learning how to calibrate their monitors (and then actually calibrate them). Not… -
Re: Defective Sony CCDs showing up EVERYWHERE
A ray of hope here? OK. So I was pretty well giving up on my Nikon E5400 as my picture failure rate was about 90 percent and climbing, and I grudgingly had to settle for my company-issued Canon Powershot A520. It's an ok camera, but not that thrilling. Meanwhile, what appeared to be the remnants of Hurricane John passed… -
Re: Mini Challenge #105 -- A Post-Processing Challenge
Hi, Kristen, Here's the summary. I use Photoshop. If you try this, you'll want to experiment with the order of the layers and the blending modes, because it varies from shot to shot. (At least it does for me...it is still a work in progress!) 1. I chose my cloud photo and then did some work with curves on it so that the… -
Re: Snuff out my candles
No worries about reposting and editing. I really, really appreciate the help and comments. Today I set up the lights again to test the white balance. Since I have a really tiny place I shoot tethered so that I can see the images without running over the to camera. Last time I set the camera to JPG for faster rendering but… -
Re: Anyone know spectrometers?
I've been looking at buying one of these for $1,500 and then selling it on eBay when I get done with it: http://www.photon-control.com/spectroscopy.html We're still getting killed by flash photos of fair caucasians taken with digital cameras where someone's face goes nuclear. We absolutely have to understand this problem… -
Re: Firefox and IE differences noted today
Tested again today - Different results I tested for the same issue(s) today. Firefox - Logged in as admin to my Smugmug account - No problems deleting a photo today. So, that's different. Was still a little slow doing everything. Took approximately 90 seconds to load all my thumbs of the kayaking gallery. When I did the…
