Hi all,
Does anyone out there know where I can get the driver for an Epson 7600 pro printer that will work with Windows 11? I know I can possibly use the simple driver that Windows 11 offers but I would rather use the Epson driver if possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Police have been zero help. That's why I was asked to help but my skills are limited to still photo enhancing not video. Thanks for the link. I'll forward it on.

Hi to All,
My neighbor recently suffered a huge loss due to theft. We have a video of the perps vehicle but the quality will not allow a good image of the license plate. Anyone out there know how to enhance the video or know of a company that can. I have tried using Photoshop CC 2023 with no luck. Thanks in advance!
Happy holidays!

I have been reprocessing on an old Seattle skyline image recently. It is composed of 12 bracketed, 7 frame raw photos captured with a Nikon D300 then merged in Photomatix and merged to pano in Photoshop 2018 CC. I noticed color banding appearing in the sky and water reflection portions after uploading as a jpg to Facebook. I have tried a few fixes with no luck.
Attached is a screen shot from Facebook upload. Not sure the banding is as vivid here.
Solution methods attempted so far:
1. Adding a noise layer as advised in online tutorials then gently erasing banding layer areas.
2. Converting from 16 bit to 32
3. Reprocessing the hdrs in Aurora
4. Merging 12 single frame images to pano.
5 uploading as a PNG which FB did not recognize.
Any help from experienced photographers or graphic designers that have dealt with this before would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, R

Anyone out there familiar with shooting engagement or similar photos at Pirates Tower in Laguna Beach, CA?? I am going to shoot my daughters engage pics in June there and can probably figure out how to shoot with a lot of trial and error but with the time constraint of travel from Colorado and beach time just wondering if anyone has a few tips from experience?? Please do not guess at what is needed. I am only interested in those that have actually shot at this beach or other beaches at sunset for the same or similar purpose. Thanks in advance.

One thing I did not mention is that the sky was overcast with wild fire smoke from a local fire which contributed to the washed out look in the windows. I used a polarizer to bring out some of the blue in the sky which was pale blue at best. Thanks for your attempt at recolorizing my photos. Very nice of you. I always find it refreshing when I get positive feed back from individuals that merely want to help as opposed to complete negative narratives that simply support their own agendas of winning the argument by constant bickering. Thanks Kymarto.

OK...now that I have waited for some responses it is clear to me that I have a lot to learn yet about processing. Thanks to you all for your advice and suggestions. In the interest of time I have chosen to simply reprocess one of the rooms using Fusion Natural in Photomatix as Gene51 suggested. Thanks for that Gene. I did not figure out how to get there from LR CC but went directly to it in Photomatix, created a preset and can now use it on all of the rooms in the house if the client approves. Attached is a before and after photo to show the difference. Fusion Natural nailed it. One thing for sure is that the "before" photo is not exhibiting the color yellow accurately here on UHH enough to show the bleached out walls. I see more red now than yellow but I think there is enough of a contrast of difference between the 2 photos to see the difference Fusion Natural has made. The "after" photo is a good color accurate example.

In regards to all of the suggestions and advice, again thanks so much. I will digest all of it and consider what will help me the most without slowing me down. I am slowly working towards the upper end housing shoots but now that i have shot a few 8000 and 10,000 sq footers its obvious I have to offer a more sophisticated product generated from a more sophisticated method of photography using multiple speed lights and maybe strobes. All well and good but time consuming and unprofitable at a price point of $145 for the 1st 2500 sq ft and $15 dollars per 500 thereafter. I am very aware that I have to charge more but not in the market my current realtor customers are in right now. Meaning $200K to $900k or so. Realtors won't pay it while they are turning deals in 1 to 30 days. As I am developing my skills to enter the luxury home market I will continue shooting fast in and out properties while slowly adding to my box of skills using some the advice you are presenting to me here. Thanks again.

I am a real estate photographer seeking info on how to shoot pastel yellow walls in a home where there is also very deep walnut red wood cabinets and trim. I shot the whole house in HDR and am now being asked to re-shoot because the walls do not look natural. More bleached out under outside window light and more natural in the shadows. The problem is the mixture of daylight and ambient light. I am tempted to just on camera flash each room and deal with the shadows that are created. I know there is a way of using flash to bring out more of the natural color by strategically placing speed flashes within each scene but that is very time consuming. I need to get in and out within 2-3 hours when shooting a 5000 sq ft home. I am shooting with a Nikon d7100, in RAW format, in bursts of 10 photos 5 at a time 1EV apart. I have used Auto White balance and custom. Doesn't seem to matter. Processing in Photomatix Pro. Post in LR CC then retouching in Photoshop CC and some in ACR. Anyone out there have any experience with this? Yellow seems to give me the most trouble. Thanks in advance.

Wendy...Thank you so much. Your work is stunning! I will check out Zenfolio once again. I looked at it a few years ago and for whatever reason it just did not appeal to me. I am using Photobiz where the cost is about $300 a year. I think Zenfolio may be better with equal or better products for less cost. I don't mind the learning curve. Thanks for the code too. I will use it. Here is my web site: www.propertypixx.com. Rich

I'm sorry...maybe this is the wrong forum to pose such a question. I am very aware of the capabilities of the internet and contacting organizations and such. I feel it is a better use of my time to reach out to fellow real estate photographers that are currently happy with their web hosting service that would be kind enough to recommend one to me. Thanks for all your responses.
