Is This A Common Problem?
The advantage of Lightroom is that, unlike most other image editing programs it's editing is non-destructive, so there's no reason to perform edits in a particular order. i.e everything you make a new edit ALL edits are reapplied I just wanted to point out something here - there is nothing unique ab...

Is This A Common Problem?
I've just caved and gone back to lightroom... Picasa just doesn't the same kind of power... Photoshop has too much going on - and there's not much else in between of any worth... I need to start shooting RAW again so it makes sense... I did find a piece of open source software for those run...

Macro question
I recently aquired a 28mm prime to reverse mount on the front of my Tamron 90mm, when I was looking through the viewfinder or using the live-view there was no sign of vignetting all looked okay but when I took the picture this was the result I am thinking it is possibly because the front ele...

Macro question
It may be that your post processing has made previously minimal vignetting more visible, I've had this on several shots when boosting the contrast. Live-view should be identical to the photo as its a full view of the sensor, unless you had it zoomed in for critical focusing... Vignetting is easily ...

Macro question
^^ you had the Tamron at f/10. So, when you looked through it before the shot, the Tamron lens is wide open (no vignetting) but when it took the shot it stopped down to f/10 as instructed (leading to vignetting). Set both wide open and it should be fine; if you have too much light or need more DoF s...

Film scanners
The point has been made before, these are not scanners. They are actually digital cameras which will take a photograph of your slide/negative. The problem is that you are using a very cheap camera with a very cheap lens to take a photograph of a high resolution negative. Once you have lost all ...

thanks for all the input certainly lots to think about. Just to shed a little light on what I'm trying to achieve is that I take or plan to take a lot of black and white shots and I can delvelop the films my self, so cutting out the need to put them into my local shop for developing and printing I ...

Back ups to external hard drive
Advice please. I have just bought a g-drive hard disc with the intention of transferring most of my photos. I have just started to become more serious about my photography and lots of RAW files are too large for my computer. I can see how to transfer files to this drive but not how to access th...

Back ups to external hard drive
All you need to do is put your images in a suitably named folder on any drive. Then when you open Photoshop, you just look for the files (images) that you want using Adobe Bridge. The files will be displayed when you look in the right folder, regardless of where it is (which drive it's on), on the c...

Backup Programs for Photos
I am looking for any thoughts or advice, regarding the use of system backup programs for photos. It seems that all the popular backup programs, eg acronis, O & O etc, all use compression techniques for their backup data. This makes sense in general, because the space needed on external drives is...

Backup Programs for Photos
This has been on my mind lately. I have recently gotten a spare hard drive, so I fitted into an external caddy and copied all of my photos onto that. That gives me two copies of what I had at that time. Prblem I have now is that I've added to one of the drives. Do any of these softwares compare a...

I'm a big fan of the ClickFree backup system. In fact, I have three of 'em. Two have an integral hard disk and the third, the ClickFree Transformer, attaches their excellent backup software to any hard disk. As the name suggests, it backs up your computer files incrementally with minimal effort....

Backup Programs for Photos
There is a huge difference between the algorithm that compresses pictures and compression used for backup. The backup program requires no knowledge of the file type it is trying to compress. It will simply try to reduce the file size as much as possible with the intention of later uncompressing i...

Backup Programs for Photos
I back up onto TWO mirrored internal SATAII/III drives, which I then disconnect and store in a safe place. very simple just use explorer to copy the stuff over. I always have two mirrored drives live on the machine too.

Explorer couldn't care less if it copies a load of damaged 25k RAW files over some perfectly good 20MB RAW files or if it doesn't copy everything in the first place. Your better off with a copier that will do a binary compare first and indicate which files on the master and backup drives a...

I will only be using it for back up not viewing so I don't see it as that much of a problem if it is slow or not ;) ... Unless I need to run out the door right after the files are imported to LR3. I understand the Pi is going to be slower than a pro grade NAS but then again the Pi cost me £35 and I ...

Photographing street lighting
In the dim and distant, I did have some limited experience in lighting design generally and a little in street lighting and area lighting using street lighting type fittings. I agree with the comments about AWB. If you want to get an impression of the colour of the lighting, stick to a daylight ...

Photographing street lighting
Thanks to all for further comments. @mikeyscope, Yes, my understanding is that all this is being driven by a commitment to reduce energy consumption on pollution grounds. I know that on some main roads LED lights have already been introduced but I have yet to see these in action. @andrewk, My ...
