Camera used for demo with projector
I slapped something together for you to check out. it's on my website in the movie gallery, under JR. Directly through the viewfinder would require an evf but the auto playback on the istd's will show what you just snapped along with any othe data you can see on your camera's lcd. The audio and ...

Exif data
Thanks for the quick reply. On the matter of focus I did have a problem yesterday. The problem was not the accuracy of the focus, (that seemed to be spot on) but the focus lock would not work. For that matter, the exposure lock also would not work. But today ..... its all working OK! I put it ...

Web design software
I started by using TACO edit for the site and Galerie for the photo galleries, then when iWeb came out I was suckered into believing this was the best thing! Not so. With V1.0 iWeb was fine, update to V1.1, forget it, doesn't publish. I have now copied back my original site and will go back to TA...

Web design software
That's strange then because it publishes to a folder fine even with the latest version, but refuses to then publish to .mac which today is completely down. The mail is back up this morning though but I cannot access .mac

Web design software
Now back with Taco and Galerie and closing down iWeb completely. Too many times, one can spend lots of time trying to publish, and it fails. At the same time I can write HTML and prepare new galleries and upload them to Homepage, without a problem.

Adobe DNG Converter and Camera RAW plug-in
I switched back to using top quality jpg, as John says above, all the questions and half-answers and future questions become mostly irrelevant as to the future of any of the so-called RAW formats.

B&W conversion, critique pls
Now who's in trouble.... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: One guess should be enough but you seem a nice guy, you can have two guesses. :oops: I didn't really want the 10-17mm anyway . . . yet. :wink: I got the AF080C in yesterday, it's back on Ebay today. I call it damage limitation :) I...

B&W conversion, critique pls
Hi Brian, Have you tried using the levels adjustment in PS. That's what I used to do this, although with GIMP. Basically, you just play around with the arrows under the histogram, until you find the correct levels of shadow, highlight and contrast. This is what it the tool looks like in GIMP...

Basic Colour Management: C1 & PS
Peter, Adobe Gamma does not handle LCD displays ;) To be honest, WiziWYG does a very good job - and that's comparing it to a Pantone Spyder 2 (which is better, but for general work, not by much). And how are you comparing it? You certainly can't go by the maxim that "my images look better w...

Basic Colour Management: C1 & PS
Andy, 1) There's no contrast on DVI. Actually there's not even really a brightness, but a control of the backlight. (The Spyder2 Pro takes this into account). With DVI LCDs (as with laptops) you're generally ok with the brightness/backlight full on. 2) Make sure you set your LCD to factory defau...

Basic Colour Management: C1 & PS
Matt Thanks for getting back to me. I did that - that's why I said it could see the colorimeter (I did read the FAQ promise!) I ran syd2en with my install disk and it created the necessary bin file. However I still get this COM1 error as I mentioned above. I have the Spyder software installed a...

Basic Colour Management: C1 & PS
Well now it works ................ almost! The software now calls up the calibration screen, displays a grey screen and then freezes. The three fingered salute to bringing up Task Manager shows the calibration as not running. Any suggestions gratefully received. Meanwhile back to another session ...

Beginners guide to Photoshop CS2
When searching for a PS (any flavour) book, you must bare in mind that Photoshop is much more than a tool for digital photographers. Adobe's own 'Classroom in a book' is very good but it does not focus specifically on the PS bits that are relevant to digital photographers. Scott Kelby's book is e...

Film Scanners
Looks like I'm going to have to upgrade my film scanner - I have an old Nikon Coolscan III, however the only interface is SCSI and due to a recent motherboard upgrade I can't seem to find an SCSI card that will work properly. The original that came with the scanner was damaged in a power surge cause...

Film Scanners
You might try looking for a MINOLTA Dimage film scanner as they USB ports as I have their Dual Scan III and find it quick. This is because, I moved to the Pentax *DSL2 in the summer I had the orginal Minolta 7000 with many lenses etc which I got as a graduation present back in May 1987, hoping my...

Film Scanners
Actually, I'd recommend the following: * Get a Nikon Coolscan IV (or even an old Minolta Dual Scan - worth almost nothing, and ok if you can run SCSI on your PC) * Buy - in fact I'd suggest this whatever scanner you choose to use! I've batch scanned thousands of slides using both those scan...

Just a Landscape
Thanks for the comment George. I'm not entirely 100% happy with it, think it may have a bit of over processed look about it, but I've remembered the exact spot I took it from so I'll be back when I get a chance to shoot it again in better light.

Some pictures read only files.
I second that with IrfanView. As you may have read, I had trouble calibrating my monitor. When I finally got it right, I had hundreds of images that needed reprocessing. I took one (from a folder of the originals) and got that corrected, and then put the same settings into the batch converter, ...

Now this is more like it
There have been digital 4x5 backs before, but they're scanning backs. They aren't useful for moving subjects. By expanding the dimensions by one more inch on one side, they'd have a true digital one-shot 4x5 back. I suspect 110 megapixels on a small chip would drown out the image with noise! ...

Monitor Calibration
Thanks for the information Matt. I am starting to think more and more towards investing in a decent monitor. The problem is that the focus of TFT producers is not directed at image quality, but more on response times. I haven't succeeded in finding a good reference for which TFT's are good for i...
