Nicely done. I see only seven images in the nine squares of the title page. But perhaps that's just due to the work in progress nature of this. I'd also like to see the images larger when they appear, but I love the look, and the links work well. Paul On Dec 11, 2008, at 12:59 AM, Christine

Sounds great. However, the request that photos not be sharpened is problematic. Some sharpening is part of the normal RAW conversion workflow. Perhaps you can just suggest that members refrain from excessive sharpening? Paul On Dec 11, 2008, at 10:16 AM, Mark Roberts wrote: After a flurry

The vast majority of product shots for magazine advertising are shot on 35 mm or MF digital these days. All you need is enough light to get f11 or so and a lens of 50mm or less. No problem. With APS-C and a 35m lens, getting enough DOF is a no brainer. Paul On Dec 9, 2008, at 10:47 AM, P.
