    batch removing chroma noise or any setting to all pictures. LR 5.2

    I have about 300 images I need to edit for a friend. he asked I do it in LR. shot in low lighting with high iso. the pictures have these red specs inside them. I went to "detail" in the drop down in the develop area and moved the slider called "color" over to a value of 50 which removed it. how...

    Nikon 70-200 f/4 vs a Sigma or Tamron 70-200 f/2.8

    id also recommend the tamron 70-200 VC 2.8. my friend ditched 2 nikon 70-200 VR2 2.8 for the tamron. no joke. ill go to his house and do a video. I have the VR1. nice lens. I didnt upgrade to the VR2 only because of the heavy focus breathing it has. you cant compose as tight as the VR1. the...

    Need personal opinions

    I was at a bodybuilding competition to photograph 2 friends who competed. I also photographed other competitors when they did their routines. I edited them as well. Which isnt a lot since i get it right in the camera mostly. I did a few bw as well. I contacted a few to offer their pictures...

    Adding Textures to Images

    in 2006 when it was really in, I did it with photoshop with layers and the overlay drop down filter. then I would erase where I needed. this is an example of how to exaggerate with editing. just way too much for my eyes today.

    LR - Trying to save a FREAKING PICTURE!

    dont know really. I dont use that feature. cause once I edit wedding images, I upload them to a server, burn the images on dvd media for archive and thats it. I dont go back unless requested by the BG or the photog I worked for. but I will send them an email theyre very quick. I dont even know...

    50mm f1.8D or 50mm AF-S f1.8G

    @skene, is that you? looks like adam sandler :) if you shoot smaller than 2.2, the aperture blades will start showing up more so it wouldnt matter if its the D or G. the sharpness with the G is better from the get go and is about 2/3 stop sharper. meaning, you have to stop down 2/3 of a stop to...

    First Wedding In June (Continued from Flashes Forum)

    the hardest part is when things change when u have a set plan. when I do the ktuba (the agreement between bg in jewish ceremonies) they know they need to call the video and stills guys first. it has happened in the past when I was shooting film that they didnt call me and half way through I find...

    A friends restaurant......

    I see it different than the others. the vignette distracts, the lighting is not consistent. and shame you cropped the tables and chairs. nothing you can do about the main pillar. and shooting from the left more woulddnt allow you to see the hanging sign. personally I would have shot it something...

    Good looking histograms.....

    I know many look at a histogram to ok an exposure, but to me, I look at the image on the lcd and know if its good or not right away. the image you posted as a wide dynamic range. its the most simple in terms of what a good histogram looks like, but I get in situation where I shoot high key shots...

    How important is bokeh anyway?

    for me aesthetic isnt so much an issue. what annoys me is when there are lights in the background (like fish's pic) and lens has straight aperture blades, or onion bokeh or just busy bokeh. with anything but lights, most people wont have an objection to it being a 50mm 1.8d to the 50 ART...

    Shopping for a flash. Looking at this one

    price is good for a full fledged/specced flash as is all the best selling 3rd party flashes. vs the nikon its an excellent value. my yongnuo flashes are as reliable as the nikon flashes and even more so. the nikon SB900 had to have its flash tube ($120) replaced after 3 years and the yongnuo...
