    How to contact Phlearn?

    Black Friday I ordered one of Phlearn's courses as they were advertising a sale. I clicked via the email I received to access their site. Quite often web sites will automatically apply their coupon code so it doesn't need to be entered, but they didn't. And of course I forget to enter it. So I...

    What are your suggestions?

    I have a Nikon FM2n that I'd like to use, but it takes lenses with aperture rings. Currently I do have a few although my main zoom isn't the greatest. It is a Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 that was made in the late 1990's. Of all the lenses I've ever owned, it is the least sharp. Granted that can be fixed...

    What's on your 2017 holiday wishlist?

    With the holidays fast approaching and cyber Monday literally right around the corner, what items are you hoping to get this year? I've been wanting to upgrade my Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S to the newest VR version but not sure that will happen yet. Was hoping the 300mm f/4 VR lens would be on sale...

    Can you help ID this bird please?

    Okay...so what is this (besides a big pain in the arse)? A red-tailed hawk or a falcon? :confused: My guess is a falcon simply due to its smaller size. I'm never going to learn their differences.

    Create tartan plaid pattern from scratch

    I want to try and create a specific tartan plaid pattern in Photoshop, but after searching through tutorials, they are over my head--I've never created anything with lines before so that is new to me. This is the tutorial I found which appears to have a lot of good info, but it's still a...

    What I Don't Need (But Want Really Badly)

    @BackdoorHippie has the Sigma Sport 150mm-600mm. Look through some of his posts about his Nikon 300mm f/4 PF coupled with a teleconverter. Maybe that combo will be another option for you to consider. ;) Hey...I like to spend other people's money!

    Winds of Change? :: Lightroom CC vs Lightroom Classic ::

    I will admit their site isn't the easiest to navigate. Check out the Photography Plan (20 GB). When I select any of the options from the drop down arrow on the far left, each option will list its specific plan features. This plan is supposed to give you the options listed in this screen shot...

    D610 DSLR camera listed as discontinued at the largest camera store in Prague

    When the original D600 came out, if I remember correctly the full price was around $1999. Then when Nikon replaced it with the D610, that also had the same original price. When the D750 came out, it also came with the same original price as the D600 and D610. Jake @BackdoorHippie was the one who...

    Post your favorite October 2017 shot

    I have a couple of favorites...favorites for different reasons although they may not be my best images of the month. One of my high school classmates always loved seeing photos from around Bowman's Hill Tower in New Hope, PA. Sadly he passed a couple of years ago, but each October I try to get...

    Advice Wanted to make sharper better quality photos/prints

    I have both a Canon MG7120 (which shows up as the 7100 in my printer properties) and a Canon PRO 100. The 7120 is just so-so. It's okay for printing but not as good as my previous Canon all-in-one printer. BUT B&H is having an incredible sale on the Canon PRO 100. After the rebate, the final...

    Advice Wanted to make sharper better quality photos/prints

    I've given a little more thought to this and have a couple more suggestions. Is your monitor calibrated? I use a Spyder Pro device, but there are other devices members use that supposedly also give good results. A calibrated monitor is more accurate when displaying images. Another thing that...

    Advice Wanted to make sharper better quality photos/prints

    I don't have Photoshop Elements 14 so I don't know what printing options it offers. But here is a comparison of printing options between Photoshop Elements 10 and PCC. This is the dialogue box I see in Photoshop Elements 10. There aren't any options for managing color. I choose my printer, set...

    Can you post process a photo

    Paul, I don't know which editing program you are using, but here is an example. I created a new document in PCC entering the pixel dimensions you listed with a resolution of 300. The screen shot below confirms the dimensions. Towards the right side of the pop up box, you can see the word Pixels...

    Photoshop Mystery

    Today I read a post from one of the Facebook Photoshop groups I'm in. The person asked if Photoshop was going to release a new mystery like it did last year. When I searched online for info, I came up with this from 2014 (and apparently Photoshop has done it in subsequent years). Has anyone ever...

    October 2017 Assignment Theme: Seasonal

    This is my third entry - my first two were more for the amusement factor. After seeing some of the gorgeous images with the changing colors, I decided to add mine.

    Post your Urban Decay/Abandoned shots!

    My township put in this paved walkway/biking path and fence 10 years ago. It didn't take long for people to vandalize the fence. The township repaired it at least once, but there isn't any point in continuing to put money into it.

    NEF looks better than jpg in Capture One Pro

    I don't know how Capture One Pro works since I don't have it and never used it. But here is something from ACR (both Light Room and Camera RAW in PCC have this ability). When you are working with NEF's, you can go in and change the Camera Profile. Possibly Capture One Pro is using some type of...
