Weird, I could have sworn I saw something that said that highlight correction applies to RAW but shadow correction only applies to JPEGs. But now I can't find anything like that in any of the manuals. [...] Here's something I found: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-k-5/133189-anyone-using-expanded-dynamic-range-feature-your-k5.html I think that the answer that you're looking for is here in the link you posted: Originally posted by mccamp82 Is it because the camera is, in a way, using ISO 80, underexposing a little to avoid clipping highlights, then processing the image in the camera to correct it for exposure while leaving the highlight areas underexposed. Or something similar? Yes, it's that. The camera actually shoots at ISO80 (instead of ISO160) so 1EV underexposed and then corrects the exposure by whatever amount is needed to preserve the highlights, e.g. applies +0.7EV for that particular photo when generating the jpg output. This also affects raw because the raw is 1EV underexposed. If you take the same shot with D-Range on and off with same settings (e.g. F2.8, 1/100, ISO160 for both photo) then in some raw converters (e.g. Raw Therapee 2.4) you'll see that the photo with d-range on is exactly 1EV underexposed (due to being shot at ISO80, 1EV less than ISO160). On the other hand some raw converters notice the d-range on in the exif and automatically correct the exposure by adding 1EV, therefore in these raw converters you won't see any difference between the two shots. Originally posted by mccamp82 Would it be similar to me doing my own version of underexposing a little, then going in to Adobe camera RAW and raising the fill light to expose the shadows areas, and using recovery to keep the highlights under control? Yes, more or less. If you shoot raw then you can just as well set -0.3EV (or whatever you prefer) as a general exp.compensation on your camera and then correct the exposure in your raw converter by applying whatever exp.compensation (or fill light or custom curve or whatever you prefer) is needed for a pleasing exposure without clipping highlights. Shadow correction just lifts up (brightens) the shadows during jpg processing. If you shoot raw then it doesn't matter, you can do the same in your raw converter by using whatever tool/slider it has to brighten the shadows. From PentaxForums.com: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-k-5/133189-anyone-using-expanded-dynamic-range-feature-your-k5.html#ixzz2L6ezmAHV My interpretation is that the K-5 has such incredible dynamic range (I've recovered shots 5 stops under exposed), that what they do is under expose by a stop to get more headroom at the high end, and then boost the exposure in post processing. In other words a fast and sloppy version of expose to the right, where they don't actually look to see where the highlights fall on the exposure. The important thing to remember is that ideal exposure for JPEG is not ideal exposure for RAW. When shooting for JPEG you want to expose so that the object of interest has the best exposure. When shooting for RAW you want to expose so that you don't lose any important data to either clipping at the high end, or noise at the low end, and you adjust the final results in post processing. Guess that'll teach me to trust dpreview.com as a source of information... ;-) When I first got my K100 I spent a lot of time hanging out on the dpr pentax forum. I have since realized that most online photography forums have a few experienced members and are mostly newbies, and people that have been doing photography just long enough to discover that if they use a fast lens, a wide aperture and manual exposure they can do neat things using limited depth of field to isolate their subject. As in any field they are the typical low-intermediate that think that they are advanced, who pontificate on anything. Imagine me, with even less technical knowledge, and you're getting close. Anyone want to argue against these? Any other defaults people recommend? One moderate annoyance I discovered while playing with John's K-5/60-250: the playback button is on the left side, which makes it awkward to reach with the right hand when holding the lens in the left (to review a photo immediately after taking it, especially with the camera up near my face). Larry suggests using digital preview, which would probably work, although that somewhat changes the habits I've built up over the years. Any other suggestions? My default is to show the

I bought one about two years ago when I needed to replace my SCSI scanner: it does an excellent job without much fuss, even the auto settings work well. I've used it for both 35mm and 6x6, mono and colour media, negatives and positives.It comes with both a Dust Removal and Digital ICE options.

Re: Epson V-500
I have Vuescan, but i'm looking forward to using the Epson software again.(There was no version of Epson software for the 3200 that would install and work with later versions of OSX, despite what Epson says.) On the 3200 it enabled much better find tuning of exposure and color. Vuescan dials are clunky, IMO. Incremental changes do almost nothing, then suddenly tip it over the edge. Now, it may be that it will work better with the 500, and I will definitely try it, but I'm not a fan of Vuescan at present.

YELQ - yet another lightroom question
Guys, Say, I have a folder structure where I store my photos. Now I want to bulk export, but I want to preserve the structure like so: 1. I give LR a destination folder. 2. I will automatically create a sub-folder for each leave folder in my folder tree and export there the pictures accordingly. How is that accomplished?

Re: Android tablets for showing photos?
on 2013-02-14 16:47 Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote This is because iOS does not support external file systems, which cannot be sandboxed. A sandboxed file system promotes security and minimizes virus attacks, particularly important in mobile devices. iOS does support external file systems, just in specific limited ways; one can copy certain types of files from an SD card _to_ an iOS device (which is the direction with security implications), but not _from_ the iOS device back to an SD card (or other storage) i can't fathom any security explanation for this restriction at the same time, many iOS apps support bidirectional file transfer over several network protocols and without the limits on file types that might seem important for security reasons; this is a such a wide-open vector for problem files to reach the device that it moots the idea that the SD card restrictions are for security I don't use the iPad as a field storage device which needs backup. i'm not interested in backing up the iPad, per se, but in using it as a tool for processing and moving image files; this is an natural function it could perform, reducing need for additional equipment and making it a better all-around photographers tool and rather than simply duplicate photos, one could tag edit down a set of photos before replicating them Jailbreaking not only invalidates the warranty, it also opens your iOS device to a host of attacks and problems. i am not planning to jailbreak, it only comes to mind as a solution to this gap in iOS functionality The simplest way to move image files stored on an iPad to a computer [...] for the uses i'm suggesting, if i were carrying a computer i wouldn't need to copy images to the iPad in the first place -- 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: PESO - another snow pic
The other snowpix did’t do that much for me, but that one really works. Maybe crank the contrast a bit, or otherwise darken the spaces between the flakes? -T On Sat, Feb 16, 2013 at 6:32 PM, Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: A mansion on the shore of Vray Lake, scene through the snow in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=16937276size=lg -- 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.
