Re: Oversize image handling
Here's a start. It's real, real, real simple in concept. Reliable, robust, full and complete error reporting and leaves things in a state for easy recovery by the user without knowing anything more than is presented in the uploader UI: * The simple uploader should report ALL upload failures to the end-user and when an… -
Re: Neutralizing color cast in shadows on white uniforms
Thanks for taking the time to look and comment and for the reassurance that the 2nd image is acceptable. My personal preference though is to try and tone down the cast more which is what I am struggling with. While in the setting of the gym the physics of the situation certainly creates a cast and our perception of the… -
Re: Prints from small cameras equals bad wording!!
Maybe the best thing we can do is get who the customer is clearly in our heads. Whether we're smugmug, Starbucks, or pro photographers, we can't please everyone, so we might as well get in our heads who we're trying to please and who we can't. Let me try to describe and you can correct me where I err: 1. It's not your… -
Re: D300 vs. D300s
So, the D300 is 2 years old, has about 52k actuations... Doing the math, that's ~500/week, which to me seems like fairly heavy use, but for someone using it professionally, probably not terribly heavy? The shutter is rated for 150k. I think that even getting it to 100k would take me quite a few years. We probably have… -
Re: Crop/print (stupid-I'm sure) question
It's all about aspect ratio First, don't get concerned about digital vs. film -- this had no (direct) bearing on the problem. Questions, so we can give accurate responses: * Is this image in "portrait" (vertical) or "landscape" (horizontal) orientation? (I'm 98% sure it *must* be Portrait or you would not be having this… -
Re: 64 Bit ApertureToSmugMug Plugin
So I was previously using Lightroom with Jeffrey Friedl's export plugin, and I was wondering if it might be possible to tweak the Aperture plug-in to match in some areas? The main thing is I use Headline, Caption, and Title (just duplicate the Headline field) IPTC fields, which works great for Flickr where there's a place… -
Help needed with new canon glass
Hello all, its been awhile since I've been here, so forgive me if I put this in the wrong forum. Its been quite sometime since I've done anything worthwhile with photo taking so I've started to look at my old glass and wonder if I should sell it. Basically, I'm only shooting for myself these days, and think its a bit… -
Re: Where to buy?
More B&H props... Guess what? B&H is as much DaBomb for professional audio as they are for photography equipment. Music and audio is my #1 passion and their pro audio catalog occupies a place of honor on my desk. As for buying photo gear and the illusion of big bargains, here's my story: I researched and found a camera I… -
Re: Andy/Baldy - feed me
There are many theories and beliefs about the average age of human weaning, and the following is just one more ripple in the pond. But in regards to the issue of auto-immunity and the early introduction of foreign milk, this theory in particular seemed interesting enough to single out ... not so much for Ann who is very…
