Highlight recovery
OK I took a shot that involved a lot of dark that needed detail plus some red plastic coated wire that reflected bright sunshine so the bright areas have burnt out. In ACR I can use recovery to recover some of the highlights but it really messes with the histogram and I suspect when I use levels ...

Highlight recovery
Mike, if the highlights are totally burnt out then there may be nothing to recover. If this occurs, moving the recovery slider up will only result in the "burnt" parts becoming off-white, without any detail coming back. I find you can recover more detail from shadow than from highlights, although...

Just following on from George's comment on another post. I have an Epson photo printer. It has not seen use in the past five years as I was convinced it is cheaper to have a shop do the prints. Anyone have thoughts on this or actually done the math? Regards Gary I am not sure about other...

Oh okay. That must be some pretty amazing ink and paper combo then! I sometimes put a few snapshots of my son on our notice board by the back door. There is no glass cover or frame, they are just attached to a steel board with a magnet. This location gets maybe an hour a day of direct sunlight very ...

I wonder what the life expectancy of an image on DVD, or other electronic storeage might be:?: Assuming it is stored properly, and the technology for play back is still available. I heard some place that electronically stored media decays over time, any thoughts on this:?:

I have acquired b&w photographs from elderly aunts, www, etc, I take photos of houses and cottages they once occupied, wedding phot...

JR said: It's very difficult to keep anything for ever. I fear you may be right. The paperless office has not really happened. Back to hard copies:!:

I have been told that the epson r285 is good for photo printing at home,however i have never tried it i think that its the general rule though (certinley in my computer shop) that people go for canon or hp with genuine ink and paper for there prints I've always used Epson A4 printers from the Stylus...

I know this is off topic but... the archiving of digital data is something I have an interest in. The problem is not with the hardware. Provided you have a program of making back-ups you can shift from one format to another as time goes by. The bigger problem is the format of the files. Words...

Sandisk Extreme Pro...

New type of camera
Being a Hartblei though it can't be long before there's a P6 mount available - that might be worth buying if the price was right :) Yes, but what back are you going to put on it? Leaf backs cost a fortune. If you were intending to put a Mamiya, H'blad or Contax back on it then you already have a ca...

I wish someone would make a digital back for the Pentax 645, its surely possible.

A Contax with Kodak back is 16 grand, a Leaf Afi is 19 and a Hasselblad H3DII-50 is 26. What would "reasonable" be for you? I'm thinking $10,000 would be great, but certainly not in my range.

How did you start to make money out of photography?
I use a lot of stock photo libraries through my design business. Even though I always recommend clients have their own photos taken by a pro, many do not/will not have the budget. The stock libraries tend to fall into 2 camps. Istockphoto, fotolia, bigstockphoto, etc are the upstarts that began ...

How did you start to make money out of photography?
I think its pretty difficult to get in with getty these days and beginners to stock photography are unlikely to succeed. Alamy on the other hand will accept photo's from anybody. Having said that, they do of course have quality control, to pass initial QC you need to submit 4 full size images which...

Panasonic LX-3
Okay all, I know its not a Pentax, and if Pentax had a "Pro" spec compact I would be very interested. Now, has anyone got one of these little gems? I am asking as my Ricoh R8 has generated a fault (namely smashed LCD, but not from dropping it, but I digress). The Ricoh clearly has a design fault...
