Lightroom 4
IMO Lightroom is the program to start off with as it's designed for photographers rather than just being a graphics editing program like photoshop, etc. Because of this Lightroom includes all the cataloguing, GPS tagging, web publishing, photobook publishing features very valuable to photographer...

Lightroom 4
Have you tried? If you had, you'd know that it can't be done. Repeat after me . . . "RAW image files cannot be modified". I agree but I also try and avoid the sidecar being saved where possible because as far as I can see if you open the RAW again in photoshop it reapplies the sidecar changes. W...

Lightroom 4
I tried Lightroom 3 once, for about half an hour, thought it was too complicated and went back to Photoshop CS3. A year later....tried Lightroom 4, gave it two weeks then realised just how good it is! I now use Lightroom for most editing and Photoshop only if I need 'Layers'

Lightroom 4
also a few have mentioned that Lightroom is Non-destructive ! I don't understand this point I couldn't agree more with Jim on this, no software is destructive, just users chose to use it destructively. I have photoshop CS6, I never save any changes to the RAW but always create a separate PSD file f...

Silkypixs 3.0
[quote:3496ace15f="Gamka"]Developer 3.0 with a K30? Are you sure? K-30s were supplied with "PENTAX Digital Camera Utility 4" and that should open DNG files from both K-r and K-30 along with RAW PEF files from the K-r. http://www.pentax.co.uk/en/digital-slr/specifications/pentax-k-30-outdo...

Thoughts on Fullscreen photography websites?
Have you got 'Fullscreen F11' listed in the View menu? Yes, it worked....Now how do I get it back to normal:oops::)

hit F11 again Sorry Smeggy, F11 just turns my speakers on and off. However, I have got it back to normal...not quite sure how though. Thanks for the advice though, think I'll just leave well alone:D

Kr- To RAW or to JPEG!?
Shoot both (raw + jpg) after you have set RAW to DNG. PSE10 or 11 will open both. As soon as you have edited a RAW it is saved as a jpg (but I have known PSE10 save an altered RAW file) - RTFM. You can now do all the other editing you want in PSE and save the file as one of the loss-less type (TI...

Light Meters vs In Camera Metering
In general I think you will get the best results from the metering method you are used to and where you know the metering is likely to need adjustment or bracketing - that's probably more important than any technical differences between the methods. That said my view of pros/cons for some meteri...

Light Meters vs In Camera Metering
Thanks to you all for your thoughtful input. I agree that I have to practice with whatever metering system I decide upon, and will start with center-weighted, in-camera first. I guess it's a compromise/average starting point. I've been playing around with in-camera spot metering and boy, is it...

Light Meters vs In Camera Metering
Mac, it must admit, it is easier to learn about something and then spout off about it (ha ha) than actually do it! The reality is ( as others have alluded to) that in this digital age I find the light meter is slipping further and further towards the bottom of the kit bag. I guess the main argume...

3 reasons people's photography doesn't improve
No 4. You go for a walk with the express purpose of taking photographs but your partner doesn't understand why you have taken half an hour getting the shot when everyone else just pointed their cameras and clicked the button. So eventually you just take the shot and vow you will go back without ...

3 reasons people's photography doesn't improve
Whenever I go out with the car and my wife is with me, I seldom manage to get some decent shots. I always feel under pressure to hurry. Despite her saying:" Don't worry about me, take your time" However I can't just drive off and then 50 yards further on stop again, or wander off and leave her sit...

colour popping made Simple
Quite, let's get back to colour popping. Wedding photography does stray into needing a thread of its own.

colour popping made Simple
Can you guys just agree to disagree, and move on please ? When and if I ever feel the need to use this technique, outdated or not, I'm sure I'll find puma's tutorial interesting. Fashions in all things come and go, then come back again. I don't find your jousting interesting at all. By now,...

Focus stacking
A few months ago, I saw some fantastic landscape images shot using focus stacking. Until then I had considered the primary use of this technique to be macro work. Given that my real passion is landscape - this got me thinking, However, as I am an advocate of minimal processing (mainly because it...
