Re: LR clears adjustements upon applying "creative" presets?

[Igor PDML-StR]

I just figured out a workaround. Here it is if someone is interested:
I took a photo [a virtual copy] (just in case, it was the photo with the 
minimum amount of adjustements needed) to which the desire preset was 
applied, and placed it into the collection together with the [virtual 
copies of] photos that I wanted to convert with this preset (sephia in 
this case). Then I chose all the photos while making sure that the 
"converted" photo is in the focus. Then I did "sync" and chose to sync:

"Tone curve"
"Treatment (Black & White)
"Black & White Mix"
"Split Toning".

I am not sure if "Tone Curve" and "Split Toning" were playing any role in 
this preset, but since I haven't touched those myself, it wouldn't be a 
problem if those are synchronized as well.


This did the job.

I am surprised why applying the presets is not set to apply the 
"differential" settings, but changes all settings. Maybe they changed this 
in LR 6.x, I don't know..

I just discovered a strange behavior in LR (5.x):
I had a set of photos that were all processed (exposure, noise reduction, 
sharpening, ...). I applied a "creative" BW preset (sephia), and that reset 
_all_ previous adjustments.


Does anybody know if there is a setting in LR that would allow me applying 
these presets without resetting all adjustments?

Re: PESO - Bismuth Crystal

[Mark C]

Hi Ken - I think the image was in focus, though slightly degraded due to 
the long  shutter speed (0.4 second). I tested the setup at that shutter 
speed using a dollar bill as a subject and found that the detail was 
very good, but the resolution of some of the individual fibers in the 
paper was not as sharp as it could have been.


I think there is just something odd about the iridescent reflection and 
how the stacking software constructs the image. At full size, some of 
the patterns in the gold area resolve into whorls and swirls that look 
more like something in motion than something solid. Using a 10x loupe I 
cannot see any of the patterns present in the gold areas, so I was 
surprised to see them emerge in the 4x photos. But then, at some angles 
the crystal is dull gray with no color at all, so the patterns of the 
reflections probably come into play.  Larry's comment about bokeh 
stacking might be a good explanation.


I need to get a simple manual ring flash and try again - I was using an 
LED ring light that was woefully inadequate for lighting the subject. 
The crystals are are like stair step pyramids and I was shooting into 
the cavity - only a straight on light would work.

Re: PESO - The Strand

[Igor PDML-StR]

Looks like a pre-holiday big-city busy life.
It is rather similar to many other big cities.
But looking at the number and type of pedestrians in combination with the 
traffic, I can think about only a few cities like that in the US: NYC, 
Chicago (near Magnificent Mile), San Francisco, Boston, ... I don't know, 
- maybe Washington, DC and Seattle?


... But it looks like you flipped the negative while scanning as the cars 
appear on the wrong side of the street. :-)

i would skip the Dell — it seems to have only a VGA connection, which means 
your converting to analog and back to digital again to display anything


i don't find an Acer SE2416H — that's the exact same model number as the 
Dell, so i wonder if you mistyped?

Monitor Opinion.

[P.J. Alling]

Since my NEC Superscan CRT had power supply issues a few months ago, 
I've been looking for a high quality display for photo editing, that 
won't break the bank.  I think I found it well them really, but the 
price really seems to be too good to be true, both available from Amazon 
for less than $130.00 US.


The Dell SE2416H and the Acer SE2416H, both are nominally 24" IPS type

faster, and connectivity includes a DVI port,  the Dell has an anti 
glare coating on a protective front panel, and is a bit heavier, really 
there's little to choose between them in based on specifications.


Everything else in that price range seems to be a significantly smaller 
display or TN display or both.  I can't seem to find decent decent 
reviews of either that gives a photographers perspective.


Does anyone have any experience with either of these?

Much appreciated, Dan!
I was trying some long shots when it suddenly launched from the top of a very 
tall tree
and came almost directly at me before veering off to maybe 100 ft or so as it 
passed.
What a scramble it was acquiring the image in the viewfinder.

Re: Monitor Opinion.

[Larry Colen]

They are not nearly so cheap, but there are apparently Korean 
equivalents of the apple 27" monitor out there for very good prices.  I 
don't remember the details.


I thought I got a good deal on an HP ZR2740w from B  I eventually, 
after a couple of tries, got a replacement that seems to work fairly 
well, but I would not recommend that monitor.

More DFA 150-450/4.5-5.6 pics

[Paul Stenquist]

Still haven’t found either the time or the light for any serious shooting, but 
i did go out for a few minutes late today to practice with this rig on a 
monopod. This pic is my neighbor’s wife coming home. She’s traveling at about 
30 mph and is about 700 feet from camera. Shot at f5.6, IO 3200, 1/1600th, 
450mm. Cropped to about 60% of frame. Underexposed due to the headlights (I 
wasn’t planning this shot) but pushed up a stop of more in conversion. Very 
pleased with the autofocus and the minimal flare. Some sharpening in PS.

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18142525=lg

A street sign about 300 feet distant. Cropped to about 80% of frame. Shot at 
f5.6/ 1/800th, I/SO 3200, 450mm. A bit of sharpening, although it didn’t seem 
to need it.
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18142526=lg


A pair of trees about 200 feet distant. No crop. Shot at f5.6, 1/800th, ISO 
3200, 450mm. Minimal sharpening. Focus was on the tree on the right of course.

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18142527=lg


Hope to try some lower ISO pics tomorrow if the skies lighten up. Getting used 
to managing the lens on the monopod. It’s much bigger and heavier than the 
60-250 but well balanced and solid as a rock. Here’s a cellphone pic of it 
dwarfing the K3, fully extended at 450 mm. I now need an 86mm circular 
polarizer for my car shoots. The Hoya is about $130 at B Top brands run $300 
to $500. The Hoya will have to do, but i’ve had good experiences with them.

Re: Monitor Opinion.

[Rick Womer]

I have a Dell u2407 at work, and a u2410 at home. They are both
excellent wide-gamut monitors that were very reasonably priced.

I don't think any of their current 24in monitors are wide-gamut, though.

A little pricier, but I have the ASUS PA249Q.  Has both sRGB and Adobe

Re: Monitor Opinion.

[Igor PDML-StR]

P.J.,

Steve made a good point  that the Dell monitor has only VGA (and HDMI)
connector.
http://www1.la.dell.com/vc/en/corp/peripherals/dell-se2416h-monitor/pd.aspx?refid=dell-se2416h-monitor=corp
While HDMI is digital, from experience, I am thinking that DVI is more 
convenient. (HDMI had some limitations, if I remember correctly.)



In any case, - if you'd be considering a high-resoltion 27" monitor,
before buying it, make sure your video-card supports that resolution.
AFAIK, some 2560x1440 (especially the cheaper ones) do not support
lower resolution modes at all.

Igor

but if you can afford it, i would suggest at least a 27" monitor . not one 
of the really cheap 1920x1080 models, but 2560x1440 . because the extra 
pixels make a big difference with photography

application manager that notifies me about updates to the other apps)


Adobe Reader DC is the one I had to deal with.
Here is an thread that discusses it:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1809982

I also recalled that the most recent Opera (browser) also had some 
weirdness with the auto-updates.



As for Skype: unfortunately, switching to other alternatives is not always 
possible: a bunch of long-distance collaborators are stuck with Skype.

Also, some customer services outside of the US are able to message via Skype.

1.5 years ago, while on a trip to Germany, I had to deal with the customer 
service of AirBerlin that damaged my suitcase. The only practical way I 
could get to them was via Skype. 2.5 years ago, I was discussing via Skype 
payment options for a hotel reservation on Easter Island with a travel 
agency in Chile

Re: LR clears adjustements upon applying "creative" presets?

[Igor PDML-StR]

David,
thanks for providing that datapoint.

Godfrey,
Thanks, that's a good idea.

The preset in question ("B Creative - Sepia Tone") has a bunch of 
settings that are just zeros. I wonder how these presets work: if I were 
to erase those variables from the preset file, will LR choke on that new
preset, or will it assume that those values should not be touched? I will 
try that...

PESO - The Kings of Kensington

[frank theriault]

Toronto bike messengers had their annual Holiday Food Drive Charity
Alleycat Race this past weekend. They ride to supermarkets, pick up
food items and try to get to the finish line first. If they miss an
item or supermarket, they're disqualified.

This year the finish was in Kensington Market, and Kyle, who finished
second, was all smiles. In the background is a statue of the late
Canadian actor Al Waxman, whose most famous role was the titular
character in the long-running series ~The King of Kensington~:

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

i would skip the Dell — it seems to have only a VGA connection, which means

i don't find an Acer SE2416H — that's the exact same model number as the Dell, 
so i wonder if you mistyped?

Re: PESO - Bismuth Crystal

[Mark C]

Thanks, Rick! I am hoping this will open up a new line of macro work. 
Insects and spiders can be interesting but they are not too appealing.

All punning aside, Mark (at least for a minute or two), both of the fossil and 
mineral photos are gorgeous. They're well worth printing LARGE and framing.

K01 with reverse mounted SMC K 24 f3.5, 70 stacked images. I could not position 
a flash well to shoot into the crystal (it is very 3 dimensional) so I used 
ambient light which resulted in a shutter speed of 0.4 seconds per shot. I 
would prefer to use the flash to counter any vibration related blur, but the 
long exposures came out OK.

Comments welcome.

LR clears adjustements upon applying "creative" presets?

[Igor PDML-StR]

I just discovered a strange behavior in LR (5.x):
I had a set of photos that were all processed (exposure, noise reduction, 
sharpening, ...). I applied a "creative" BW preset (sephia), and that 
reset _all_ previous adjustments.


Does anybody know if there is a setting in LR that would allow me applying 
these presets without resetting all adjustments?

Finally was able to take a minute off work to look at this. Absolutely 
gorgeous. It is certainly a worth subject.
