The second one is VERY interesting. Producing huge (over 40 meters) prints at 72dpi for viewing walls from reasonable distances.
Thank you.

MIke, here's my quick shot at it.

To me, this was the best of the alternatives (I'm reposting rmalarz's image).
The original has too much of the same thing. This one, by darkening and brightening different areas, gives my eye something (the left side of the rock) to look at while offering something else (the darker side of the rock) to compare. Doing so also brought out some depth.
As for clipping, I like keeping all the blacks, as well as clipping some whites (since there isn't very much to clip) in order to bring out more of them.
The only think that I'd rather not see is the increased noise. Or, is it just me?

Sorry, but I don't think so.

Yes, "The name of the forum is "Post Processing and Digital Images." I just should have sighed and let it go. And the piece itself is interesting in a way.

I learned the y'all and all y'alls from a fellow worker who was from the Smoky Mountains area. Other phrases were jeetyet? Did you eat yet? If the answer was no, the next reply was, 'unto?' (want to?). If the answer was yes, the reply was lesqueet, let's go eat.
We had a blast. For me it was like learning a foreign language.

And I learned to say ". . .twirly tweet" (too early to eat) when I wasn't ready to eat. Don't know where it originated, though.

Learn about the importance of light. Shoot when the sun is lower in the sky and discover how shadows will bring out textures, shapes and contrast.
When the light is flat, consider closer compositions, especially ones that don't include a white sky.
Two topics from 2018 that might help:

The only difference I see is that some of the darks are darker in the modified image. I can think of simpler ways to darken the darks.
Look carefully. The lighter portions of the insect wing are definitely punchier.

How many folks here take the time to learn the software they use? How many use canned solutions under the form of add-ons?
. . . how many depend on a camera P, S and A mode as well as Auto ISO, AutoWB and auto-focus?
. . . Delegating any control to a camera or software for any reason is already giving up too much!!! . . .

The point is that AI is a tool. Tools are meant to be used correctly -- meaning that sometimes it should not be used.

. . . Lightroom has a separate print utility that is better than printing from Photoshop and may not suffer as many incongruities. . . .
This is the first time I came across this, that printing from Lightroom is different from printing from Photoshop. I'm not a Lightroom user so I don't know how Lightroom manages printing. Could others please tell me more? Or, should it begin a new thread??

I tried a reboot last night with no effect. Also tried to download a printer driver but was told what I now have is OK. . .
Hmmm. Had you also turned off the printer before re-booting? (Just still poking around. . . )
Oh! I know! Just kick the printer where the inks are (have a cloth ready to wipe up your tears of joy. . . )

INFO: Epson P600, Paper size 11X14", image size in Photoshop 10.6X13.6" which leaves a 3/16" white paper border around the image when printed. (This is to allow for shifting the mat on top of the image as appropriate).
TODAY'S PROBLEM:
1) Printed an image as above and it had the usual 3/16" border.
2) Printed a different image as above; it had only a 1/16" border.

When I have "strange" problems with my Epson 3800, I re-boot my desktop. It has always worked -- don't know why.

Looking for some insight on photographing flocks of birds, this is not in my normal wheel house. . . . Thank you in advance for any constructive help or criticism.
Another possibility is to photograph a large flock of starlings. Watching murmuration videos (look it up) is fascinating. You might get a still photo that is impressive. Sometimes, pigeons behave similarly. Good luck.

A few days ago, I got my Sony A6300 back from a modification where the Bayer Matrix was removed making this a true mono camera. The amount of detail that is captured is incredible.
Here is a sample taken today with a 55mm lens at f8 and ISO 100 thru a 630nm filter.
The modification was done by monochromeimaging.com. I shoot RAW and then use an application called monochrome2DNG to process the RAW without performing a demosaicing, which if it were to be done would reduce detail.

This entire discussion is a terrific eye opener. I am now forced to think about how to proceed -- camera-wise. Should I convert my Canon 5D II to get these incredibly detailed B/W since I usually post process to B/W anyway? But what if want to take a color photo??? Two cameras? -- but I don't want to lug two cameras everywhere.
I was thinking to upgrade to 5D IV, but now maybe I'll spend the money on this modification.
It's my own problem. . . I just felt I had to bring it up as a way of thanking you. Very much.
