Thank you for the response. My concern is do I lose color values trying to convert to CYMK and does it alter the file size.


both, file size will increase by 25% due to the additional channel and the color will change. still don't understand why they want CYMK which are usually used to make color separations for offset printing presses.

seems very odd they would want jpeg CYMK and the numbers don't work. sounds like they don't really understand what they want.

16x20 is a 1.25 aspect ratio while 1024x768 is 1.33

send them a jpeg in sRGB 1024px on the long side 72dpi, let the short side fall where it may to maintain the aspect ratio of your wife's work.

CYMK is normally used only in offset printing and the conversion from RGB is done at the print house. they know their equipment and what is needed.

under no circumstance send them anything hi res until they are ready to pay.

An image does not become a Photograph until it leaves the virtual world, it is then that an artifact is created. An image can only exist in the Mind.

the NIK collection has similar tools (ie different) for 149$. I like the Topaz masking tool better than OnOnes.

I can see becoming very familiar with the Library Module is key to using all the LR products - I am an engineer and tend to skip through manuals so I can press on but in this case I should put in the time - thanks for the advice


When all else fails, read the directions!

One way to check the weather in Portland is to look for Mt. Hood. If you can't see it it's raining and if you can see it it's going to rain.


Yes! Spread the myth!

lots! for landscape head out east on I84 to the scenic highway for lots of waterfalls. go west for the coast but check the weather as it can be clear and sunny in Portland but totally socked in fog when you get within 5 miles of the water. North will take you to Mt Saint Helens. South is a little more iffy. Silver Falls State Park (fee to enter) is a gem where you can walk behind some of the waterfalls.

In town are the Japanese Gardens

and several good street Photography locations such as Alberta St and Hawthorne

it relates to all Photography and I am not talking about depth of field I am talking about curve of field. I agree that its not the format but rather the Photographer. this is an issue we can all agree on and the basics are always worth repeating.

all the books refer to the "image circle" as two dimensional but optically the "image sphere" is three. this is why wide angle close up Portraits distort and are in general unflattering. for that reason I don't think I was that far off topic (hate when that happens!)

Wow, how esoteric! And how unrelated to portrait photography. 1) I'm using Nikon lenses with great fat "sweet spots"; 2) I may need to defocus or use a diffusion filter to obtain the most attractive portrait of my subject (obscure the pores and blemishes). Your argument is strong, and persuasive, for document copy, and similar uses where exacting precision is important, but not for portraiture. My statement stands: "It ain't the format, it's the photographer!"

I have great respect for Hasselblad, their technology is second to none. I have sat through presentations by Hasselblad Reps and don't remember discussion of the circle of acceptable focus being a primary issue. They did emphasize their square format for viewing and for versatility, cropping easily to either horizontal or vertical.

I'd love to follow up on your argument, that the APS-c format provides some image quality advantage, but I don't believe this thread is the place. The question that started this was which format would give kwbybee the best portraits. And I stand firm: the format kwbybee has! Worry about lighting, posing, etc., etc., not format!

" Format doesn't mean a thing"

I prefer APS-c because the image circle is actually a sphere. Victor Hasselblad understood this when he designed his camera and lenses using a large image circle from which he only made use of the "sweet spot". That is why he used a square aspect ratio. Using a full frame lens on APS-c places the sweet spot on the sensor with a greater flatness of field.

Actually I heard recently that irregardless had been added to Oxford or Websters (idr which) due to common usage.

Don't you just hate it when the focus of a thread is lost? Can't we all just get along?
Who gives a damn about steep vs shallow?
If I wanted an English lesson I would be on a different forum.
The point is that some learnings in any field of study require greater depth to master. Photography and Art in general has infinite depth.
Facts and Truths are not the same thing, Art is about truths, not facts.
