photoshop toolbar
I also have CS4 even the Extended version but I don't see it either. Do they use another version for their tutorial? I know that you want to find enhance and add it but to what cause, what function/action do you hope to find there? If they use a different photoshop it can be that the function...

yes perhaps they are using Elements in the tutorials, as not everyone will have a full PS of course. Never used Elements myself so cant say whats on there. Your web searching is better than mine as I couldnt turn anything up :oops: I will go back to the tutorials and see if I can locate the same com...

how to... copy Peter Liepke
Yeah Tim I know what you mean, how simple it may sound, I had to use 10 layers to get the effect you see now :? Was interested to see if you could get the old printing technique/feel back into digital. Here I was trying to get gum bichromate. Platinum print would be the next one on the list :) ...

Flickr - How to increase traffic to my Photostream
Hi Pete, So is your real question 'How do I get more people looking at my Flickr stream' or 'How do I get more people looking at my website'? I think you need a bit more text on your own website, and make sure you include 'keywords' that people might google for (photography, wiltshire etc) in ...

Why Lightroom instead of photoshop?
As Stefan says, Photoshop is an image editing program with very sophisticated features. One of it's primary advantages is the use of layers etc. You cannot open a raw file directly in Photoshop, it has to pass through ACR. Lightroom, on the other hand, has ACR built-in but with more features plus it...

Why Lightroom instead of photoshop?
I like LR but I do find it very memory hungry and if I leave it open and view a munber of images, before long it seems to grind to a halt. Not a problem i have with PS You can optimize your catalogue, try this: 1. Back up your Catalog. 2. Choose Catalog Settings from the Lightroom menu on a Mac ...

Why Lightroom instead of photoshop?
I use Lightroom most of the time and drop into CS3 for some things. For example, I find the cropping easier in Lightroom and cloning easier in CS3. Can you actually clone in Lightroom? It's the one thing that stops me using it 100% of the time. I use LR for a first stage 'develop' if I need to us...

Consistent colour with in a studio environment

Consistent colour with in a studio environment
I have found the root of the problem I was talking to a Local company that supplies strobes and asked the same question and with out any hint from me they told me what strode I had used. It is down to the strobe i use for homes shoots (inconstancy colour range on the strobe it's self) so, I wi...

Macro lens vs extension tubes
Extension tubes, bellows, reversing the lens etc. will all do the job nicely and more cheaply. A macro lens, however, is much more convenient as you keep all your automatic functions and so forth. Macro lenses also have a flatter plane of focus important for photographing, well, flat things. :D ...

Macro lens vs extension tubes
A small but significant point about using macro lenses rather than tubes that hasn't been mentioned so far is that you will retain focus to infinity. Using tubes, you'll lose it, therefore a macro lens is much more versatile, but more expensive.

Adjusting profile for developing pics
I've never gone through this my self; I suspect that if you have followed their instructions then what you see is correct. Why not send one of the pictures you were unhappy with at snapfish to DS colour labs (having followed the new procedure) and see what comes back? How ever the number you g...

Adjusting profile for developing pics
just as an update. I contacted snapfish and explained and it turns out my account had a setting for auto colour correcting my uploaded images. They must have seen this problem before because they switched the setting off for me and re-ran my order without any quibble. So I'll see what happens now wh...

You could use a black background and with some lighting you can make sure that the black spots are still distinguishable (what a word:shock:) from the black back ground.

White seems to work Not grey though, at least for me :( Haven't found one with a black back ground. Edit: found some black ones. ps. as you can see in the portait photo of 2 photos above, you can see that the shine in the dogs ears makes it a bit loose from the BG a...

Sorry have to go back to what the client wants, if it is formal show type shots the white does not give good enough profile detail, there are places where dog disappears into the background. If it is nice shots of their pet they are after then white is fine and produces a good artistic image. For...

White looks good indeed but Like Jackie says you need to be careful that the dog and the background don't become one. I'm very novice with studio photography so experiment a bit. One thing I should try is to get a black BG and shine a spot on it behind the subject, you will get something like th...
