Just wanted to give folks a heads up. Seems Adobe has extended the $9.99/month Photoshop + Lightroom Creative Cloud offer through the end of March. This includes the 20GB of cloud storage and Behance membership. There are no restrictions on who can take this offer!! That's right - no...

Well, I've been trying valiantly for days to get a B&W print out of my Epson R280 but it seems to only want to combine colors to make B&W. I can print big bold text in perfect black, but not photos. I've tried everything from making sure that every available option to print in grayscale...

There's a discussion in the D800 forum about using the back button for focusing and I didn't want to derail that discussion so I'm posting this here. I love the ability of the D800 to use both the shutter release and the back button to focus before shooting. I'm used to the half-press, but...

I've often read the adage, "If you want to really learn to take photographs, start with a pin hole camera". My thought has always been, "Yeah. OK.", and then I go off with my SLR. So when I saw this I was rather intrigued. I've got 4 body caps lying around, 3 of which are almost never on the...

This could be interesting to follow. If you have a Df, give this a shot and let us know what you discover. Nikon Df Shutter Issue

It's the photographer's version of the age old question of, "Why do hot dogs come in a 10 pack, but rolls come in an 8 pack?", and it's something that's bothered me since I started buying enlargements of concert photos I shot or snuck into my brother's dark room to print my own stuff...

I want to apologize, first to the moderators, and also to other members here ,who have had to endure the recent and public tete a tete between me and another member. I've been in your position many times as a moderator elsewhere and it's a brutal thing to witness. Regardless of whether or not...

Better B&W Conversion Using Multiple Hue/Saturation Layers in Photoshop & Elements I posted this as a blog about a year ago and was asked if I could submit it as a tutorial. Here you go... I've always found that the basic level of B&W conversion available in Lightroom and Photoshop to be...

Guys, Not for nothing, I love you and appreciate this forum being here, but the way this forum works (or I should say doesn't work) with the reuse of attached images is mind numbing. Feel free to delete the Tutorial I attempted to post that finally ended up as a semi-sarcastic reference to the...

Better B&W Conversion Using Multiple Hue/Saturation Layers in Photoshop & Elements It was requested that I republish a blog I did on using Hue & Saturations Layers in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to do more realistic Black & White conversions (i.e. not just desaturating) without using...

I've been a member of NAPP for the last 9 months, and I have to say that I have definitely benefited from the various teaching videos and the 10x a year Photoshop User magazine that comes with membership. I've always been curious about Kelby Training and have had a free 24 hour pass for a while...

Bipolaroid. Thank you. I'm here all year.

I know Getty Image licensing is a hot button for many working photographers. They make money hand over fist while bleeding photographer's of a working wage. I've pulled up threads from Helene and Browncoat and read through them and will do so again. I get it - Getty can be the devil. That...

OK, I'm in. Guaranteed this project costs me more than the $50 I might walk away with. LOL

I read this blog on Nikon Rumors today and found it very enlightening. It's essentially one working Nikon photographer's experience in shooting Canon for the first time and his evaluation of the differences. I emphasize "working" because it's about an aspect many of us here don't think about -...

There is an active incursion of Snowy Owls into our area this year. In NJ alone there have been over 2 dozen distinct Snowys identified thus far, and the word is that more can be expected, which would likely set an all-time record for the species in the state. Thus far none have been near us...

The attached screen shot is how the forum has been displaying for me on my Mac since last evening. I'm using Firefox, but it's not necessarily a Firefox issue because it displays fine with FF on my desktop. It also appears fine with Chrome on the Mac. I've reloaded, cleared cache, rebooted...

Two days ago we had 6 inches of snow on the ground and below freezing weather. Yesterday temps reached the 60's and did so as well today. I expected to wake up to a layer of ground fog and was surprised not to get it. About 10AM I look out and as the temps reached the high 50's you could see...

I know we have a lot of Lightroom users here, some on previous versions and I'm sure we all tend to use it very differently. I used to use it for the bulk of my post processing, but since I've incorporated the Nik Collection and Photoshop in my workflow I've relegated it to more of a catalog...

A couple weeks ago I was introduced to the work of a photographer named Harold Ross and became very intrigued by what I saw, and by his landscapes in particular. In a nutshell, Harold uses external light sources - everything from LED flashlights to larger handheld sources - to paint light that...
