    Re: April's monthly assignment: Cars & Trucks Thought I'd slip one last one in before this month ends, and while uploading images seems to be working for me...

    Topaz Gigapixel

    No... It increases the resolution of an image... Mostly used to upscale an image for printing... especially large prints... I typically use it to increase the resolution on an image before cropping the image... then in retains detail... You lose detail when you crop really tight and then blow...

    DXO Nik Tools and M1 Macs

    Just a heads up... I've been working/battling(?) with DXO regarding The Nik Tools vers. 4 (some tools) NOT working with the new Mac M1 computers... They conclude it won't work, and they don't intend to fix it at this point. There is a way to get them to work using Rosetta (which is a built in...

    Lens stopped working on Autofocus.

    @Woodyg3 Thanks, I missed that... That's still a <$400 lens... and used at this point... When I sent my 28-300mm lens to Nikon for repair, several years ago, out of warranty, to fix a non-working VR, it was $150 to fix it then, plus postage to ship it to them... Weigh your cost-benefits...

    Topaz DeNoise practice

    @Peter7100 Here is what I recommend with LR and Topaz's DeNoise AI... Denoise's best processing is with a RAW file... Denoise is also NOT plug-in friendly... LR doesn't send RAW files to Topaz...it will only send a Tiff as a plug-in... Now, having said all this... You can process the NEF file...

    How to disable email notification for subscribed threads?

    @hark @Peter7100 @Roy1961 :loyal: My spam folder suddenly filled up in the last 24 hrs. I didn't know the "system had been reset" to start functioning again.

    Diffusion dome or index card?

    Wow!!! @desmobob You taught an old dawg a new trick. I never really examined the SB-910a (which is the one I have) but you don't even need to modify the cap. Right-side up, the cap engages the switch, up-side down, it fits perfectly but doesn't engage the switch. Thank You!!!!

    Topaz DeNoise practice

    This is the right hand panel in Denoise... Topaz's Noise Removal program... Notice towards the bottom there is a Sharpness Slider... <-- That's the sharpening I was referring to. He was Running Denoise on an image with an ISO of 200... There should be almost no noise on that camera at ISO...

    Topaz DeNoise practice

    @Dangerspouse I noticed your DeNoise images are at ISO 200... In DeNoise, there's a "sharpness" slider... How much are you adding with that slider?? I imagine the "enhancements" you're seeing is more a function of that "Sharpness" slider than any actual noise reduction at an ISO of 200

    @Bikerbrent You have to be a detective. :) She originally posted in the D3300 section and that camera was broke. She never said what the outcome was with her viewfinder issue... NOW she's posted in the Coolpix section... The Error message she posted is a Coolpix Error. A borked D3300 doesn't...
