Why do you think the camera is responsible? Has the light source, direction, and any interference been considered. There is no reason to consider a repair when the problem is simpler. Hope this sheds some light on the issue.

I regret that I did no feel a necessity to continue with the topic. At least I now know that there are those who feel it is acceptable to place shade on individuals and that it is OK to make a correction later. The harm was only temporary. Of course, for those who do not follow the postings, the insult could be permanent.

Frankly, I have no idea what results in a dismissal from any of the forums. Over the years, I have viewed many less and less frequently. I made a choice and am happy that I did so.

I no longer post images and seldom make comments. Why, because I often do not appreciate what I see and read. Yet I am happy that the pictures of others are presented. I consider the comments valuable to many. I think that makes me a participant with a limited negativity.

The above generalizes my attitude. I continue.

Now for the critical statement. There are three moderators on that forum. I, as an individual, am not particularly enamored with the images they present or by their comments. That need not reflect on them or their visual presentations. It reflects on my expectations. artBob seems to have a problem with one of them, but the individual is unnamed. By not specifying that individual, he is also casting a shadow on the other two. He has not focused. For someone who touts his experience as a critic, he has not clearly shown his subject and has implicated others.

Mr Pullum, you frequently make this comment. I have frequency observed you saying it and I consider it to be very limiting in concept. It may be true that many live in a western society, the backgrounds of those involved with UHH are varied by cultural heritage.

Many of have us have been taught to read starting with the upper left and proceeding to the lower right. There are those who start their reading with eye movements from the upper right (think of Hebrew) or of Asians from the lower right.

An artist may attempt to avoid your thoughts by using light or dark areas or different colors or shapes and sizes; perhaps changing the composition by changing the position of the camera. At times, the artist may not consider the largest element to be where he wants you to initially proceed. Balance and lack of balance are considerations.

Of course, the photographer may not have wanted to flip the reality of the scene: or he may have agreed with your intentions as an artistic element - but that is not the way it was.

I don't necessary disagree with you, but it is a knee jerk response of what seems to a failure to consider the entire effort of another.

Think larger and consider all of the decisions and limitations of the photographer. Your choice is yours.

My choice for dealing with this situation is to use a flash and expose for the main object which is the flower. What you want to accomplish is to expose the flower properly and to allow for darkening of the background.

It is not that the photo in question is over exposed, it is more that the background is too bright.

The proper use of the histogram is seeing that the dynamic range is too great for this image and this camera. Changing ISO or shutter speed makes a global change and doesn't help differentiate between different parts of the image.

Averaging the metering will decrease the dynamic range and darken the background, but do you really want to lighten the flower?

Although it would not solve the problem, the relative size of the background to the image is very great and
it exacerbates the differential. A crop could be indicated.

At times, the prudent thing is to walk away and not trip the shutter - the difference between a good photo and a second rate snapshot.

To summarize, you have to "throw some light" on the subject and throw the rest into darkness.

Do faster lenses also offer more light for focusing?

Why would one want to do a "retake" of an image that appears to be lacking technical competence and is compositionally boring?

"I follow the prompts and when the count get to about 28%, the thing stalls."


From this description and some of he comments, I would consider that the problem is not related directly to LR, but an inadequacy of either RAM or available disk space.

LR is capable of handling enormous amounts of data - it needs adequate headroom to function.

Of historical interest is Three Mile Island with the massive cooling towers.

What do you mean by "reasonably priced? Is the sole use only for converting slides? What are the characteristics of the slides? What software will you use?

Although the white balance is very blue, it is an appropriate color because it is a reflection of a very blue, cloudless sky. The camera is showing the reality of its capture.

Of course you head about the music coming from Mozart's grave.


He is deComposing!!!

[quote=will47]I am required to scan a copy of my drivers license to a stock photo agency. I put the license on the printer (HP6700) and tell it I want to scan a document.. Does a good job, however I can not find the scan and it gives me no option to send it to documents or whereever I want. I have checked documents, photo's etc. and no DL and no option to tell the scan where I want to put it. But when the scanning is done, it shows me what was scanned


I have not scanned in nearly 20 years. However, if I remember, there is something called a pre scan. It is a low resolution image used in acquisition with the purpose of setting certain parameters such as color balance and crop.
Is it possible that you saw the pre-scan and never completed the actual scan? If this is the case, the computer would not have established a file and a file name. It would not be that the file is lost, it just wasn't completed.

In this case, all you should have to do is rescan and make sure that you complete the task by seeing the image a second time (prescan and final scan). A scenario to save the image should result and you should be able to see to where it is saved.

kkk?


":The 'biggest problem' is not about the model type but the size. One has a tendency to think that bigger is better. In this case this is false. Ergonomic is the prime consideration"



That is a common conception that is usually correct. I consulted Wacom about appropriateness and they suggested the large pro model for me because I have developed a tremor in my hands. I reflected on their reasoning for a long time before I made a purchase as advised.

The loss in ergonomics wasn't great, but the user ability increase and accuracy were tremendous.

To get to the original concern, the tablet functions nicely with PS and PSLR and can be set up for each separately.
