Anyone using 'Image Processor' in Photoshop?
I stumbled across the Image Processor (File>Scripts>Image Processor) when I wanted to process a large number of Raw files into Jpegs very quickly with minimal/no editing. You just select the folder where the files are, select an output folder, choose your output file type and jpeg quality, and aw...

Advice on filters

I have a Hoya CPL filter for each lens which is superb and wouldn't be without. But now is the time to add some ND and ND Gradient f...

Advice on filters
I would try to stretch to a Hitech set of ND Grads if you can. For a 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 85mm soft grad set you will pay about £45 and IMHO it's worth spending at least this amount. A cheap Chinese made holder (Cokin A type) will only cost a few pounds. I would also recommend buying something like ...

Many thanks David, i will look into the Hitech set. I can do this in stages if necessary. Perhaps get the Haida 10 stop filter first.

Advice on filters
I would also recommend buying something like a Haida 10 stop filter, screw-in type, in the largest size you can afford and then buy some cheap step-up rings so you can use it on lenses with a smaller diameter filter ring. The Haida 77mm is about £45 and with this you can easily create exposures of ...

Advice on filters
I agree with David but would also add - £45 for a set of hitech grads is a good price - I have not seen them new this low but there is a used set on ebay for this price (advertised as new until you read the listing - but still a good deal). New will normally cost £55 and above. Yo may want to ...

Advice on filters
If you want an ultra cheap 10 stop ND filter I recommend the Camdiox which I got for twelve quid something on ebay in 67mm but which is available in the UK but at higher cost from SRB-Griturn I understand. See this thread

Advice on filters
Lenses are more important than filters - don't sell it. I'd say get the cheap £17 set and use it. *If* you find you actually use the filters a lot then afterwards get just one Hitech filter of the grade you find the most useful, maybe a used one as well.

Cokin P system filters
Recently decided to take the plunge and buy into a square filter system. Trying to take steps (baby steps) forward with my landscape photography and decided i really needed to invest in some ND Grad filters. My main criteria was budget, which straight away ruled out the obvious choice of Lee Filters...

Cokin P system filters
I have been using Cromatek Filters for two years now and these are truly neutral- the Cromatek 75 series Digital SLR Kit (ND 2stop Grad, 81b and circular polarizer) comes with with their Matte Box holder (which cleverly stops sidelight bouncing in between filters). http://www.spaphoto.co.uk/ac...

Moiré
I have another camera without an AA filter that I bought as a light-weight jobby for when I didn't want to lug all my Pentax gear around. Anyway, used it to shoot the Millennium bridge and the moiré in the metal mesh walkway has to be seen to be believed. I posted (but deleted) the resulting p...

My Post Processing Tips
It makes sense to sharpen to some degree at RAW conversion stage - this is to correct for the effects of the AA filter (if fitted!), and also you're in 16bit so it may the best stab at it in terms of boosting definintion without casuing any degradation. Also you can balance this 'Capture Sharpen...

Hi, I have just received a ND filter from a company called Haida Photo, and since I have never heard the name before, I wondered if anybody has any experience with this firm. Best regards John
