Re: A really tough jpeg conversion
On 11-06-02 9:25 AM, Thibouille wrote: Mmm wouldn't a proper PS conversion to 8bit cure the problem and saving later to 8bit Jpeg rather than 16bit image directly exported to 8bit Jpeg ? That might work best in this case, but it depends entirely on the quality of that 16-8 bit conversion. It would just have to be tried to see. I was thinking about this during my doggy walk (she was not amused) and I realized that the dithering will only work well if different random noise is added to each of the R, G, and B channels separately. Adding grain in LR will *not* do that, so while it might help, the noise may well disrupt the image too much too. Depends on how much you like grain, I guess. :-) In Photoshop at least, you can easily open the Channels panel, select each of the RGB channels in turn and add a small percentage of noise. Then you could do the JPEG conversion and see what happens. This problem exists in the audio domain too. In poorly mastered CDs you can hear popcorn noise if you crank the volume during really quiet passages. A couple of companies have made some good coin marketing 24-16 bit dithering devices (and plugins for digital audio workstations) that introduce very specific noise to eliminate the audio-level banding that would otherwise occur. -bmw 2011/6/2 Bruce Walkerbruce.wal...@gmail.com: On 11-06-02 3:11 AM, Tim Bray wrote: Check out http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2011/06/01/-big/RUNE0790.jpg.html Look at the green bokeh-fied background and observe the obvious lines that look like elevation lines on a map, let's call them bars, as the green brightness drops off.

But I don't know how. -Tim I'm barely seeing your bars; they are not *that* obvious. Assuming your toolchain is 100% 16-bit (or better) end-to-end, then your image is suffering from banding by being dithered down to 8-bits at the output. JPEG is 8-bits RGB, so you are most likely introducing banding right there. Also as for your PNG image, there's 16-bit PNG and 8-bit PNG, and you used 8-bit, which will show clear banding same as the JPEG. screen-grab.png: PNG image, 764 x 727, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced Even 16-bit images can suffer from very slight banding in really gradual tonal transitions. The solution to that is to dither the image a bit -- add some intentional noise. You could use a mask in Photoshop to restrict the noise addition to just the darker bokeh areas and avoid mucking-up the bloom. There's a grain feature in LR (bottom of the Develop section) that you could play with to add some noise. And that's a _great_ shot, btw. My only issue with it is I can't see the stem which makes it look a little floating in space, but I guess that's because of the angle of view. You've struck an excellent balance with the DoF / sharp edges / bokeh. -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Hi Igor: After reading your email here, I thought of the National Geographic photographer William Albert Allard. I learned about him from the NatGeo video entitled The Photographers. Maybe these shots might spark some ideas. Just a thought. Ignore if not helpful.

I'd probably try some 1/20, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60 shutter speeds to see what I could get--especially with the good high iso quality of the K-5. Just another thought. Ignore if not helpful.

I was expecting Paris to be the most photographed city, and I was expecting Big Ben to be the most photographed thing in London. I suspect there's more than a little sampling bias, not least due to restricting the sample to people who post their travel shots on flickr. I mean, Portland, Oregon as the 25th most photographed city? Really? What I try to do when faced with one of the standard postcardy places is to treat it as just something in the background and try to get people doing something interesting as the main point of interest. The classic example of this, which I try to emulate, is this shot of the Taj Mahal by Steve McCurry: http://tinyurl.com/tankmahal http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/212/cache/taj-mahal-river-reflection_21246_600x450.jpg I agree - that's a great shot. While it exemplifies the primary advice of the article - find a different viewpoint - I find many of the examples they supply to be no significant improvement on the cliche postcard shot. It's hard (in some cases impossible) to see the iconic landmark. If I go to an exotic locale I want to come back with a photograph that could only have been taken there, not one that could just as well been taken within a few miles (or even a few hundred yards) of my front door. The most obvious thing I deduce from most of the photographs is that an in-camera perspective correction filter might be a good idea. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: OT: The Most Photographed Places on Earth
Tokyo? Really? I attribute some of this to density of cameras. I'll bet Europe and the North America have the most cameras.

Example: I have nothing against the Griersonian documentary paradigm, but I think its hegemony has had the effect of hiding that there was also - probably originally - a revolutionary claim in the birth of the 1930s documentary culture, and that the liberal-reformist version was most likely a response to revolutionary documentary.

Re: Workflow Quandary
G'day all. Thanks to all who commented and for the very detailed summaries of your workflows. I've read them all and archived them for future reference. I suppose the thing I failed to appreciate was that with something like Lightroom you are effectively batch processing on import but not actually producing extra files (tiff or jpg) except for those images that you want to work on later in other software. If I've understood correctly, the image adjustments are stored in the DNGs or in sidecar files with PEFs - at least that's my interpretation, summed up in Charles' comment below. I'd like to use Lightroom but I've now invested a lot of time into Studioline. The problem with moving to Lightroom now is that I'd lose the custom metadata fields that I've added to each image and which are stored in the Studioline database. It's not impossible to get those custom fields into standard IPTC fields and then import all of my past image files into Lightroom, but it wouldn't be trivial. Studioline can process RAW images (using camera-specific parameters derived from DCRaw) and you can apply a wide range of image adjustments to those images which are then stored within the database. I'm just not sure how practical my current workflow would be for processing a large number of RAW files. That's something I have to think about further.
