    Weekly Challenge Feb 1 - Feb 7 Double Exposure

    To whom it may concern: What is the image size (horizontal) when posted that meets the display width of the forum? I don't like my posted image getting stretched (zoomed) in any thread. I wonder if it is caused by the browser's settings (the width of the browser). Can the forum display posted...

    Congratulations PhotoDoc. It's my dream to have the Z 600mm f/4 + 1.4TC. Let's hear some details of the "but..." part. What kind of Z body do you have? Thanks for sharing.

    The wonder of the tone curve

    After some research, decided not to convert nef to dng even upgrade my Mac. I think DNG is off-topic here.

    The wonder of the tone curve

    Which one? Did watch the dng converter. My Mac version is too old to install the converter. One question: Does file size change after converting from nef to dng, larger or smaller, and how much?

    The wonder of the tone curve

    Other than hue-saturation there is hue-chroma for changing color scenes. Both are similar, but hue-saturation is more advanced, IMO. I think taking the time I can tweak the tool for more desired color scenes though. Another issue with this kind of process is using any kind of selection tool...
