    Sigma 105mm Macro not focusing on D610

    OK, kids, got a question for you. Is there a reason why my Sigma 105mm won't focus on my D610 but will focus on every other camera? The D610 works perfectly with every other lens but it's not focusing with this one. I don't know that I'd ever mated the two of them before so I can't say that it...

    Cataloging -- PSE and LR Compatability

    Should work pretty well if you've got the catalog organized.

    Take a Look Please and see if any inprovements could be made.

    And you can do essentially the same thing I'm talking about in ViewNX2 though I don't believe you have the same level of control. The histogram shows the same information, it's just that you need to play with Brightness and Contrast to achieve the same level adjustment that comes fairly easily...

    Take a Look Please and see if any inprovements could be made.

    It's all about light and how you use it. Not every image has wide dynamic range that causes the camera to fill up a histogram on a capture, but when that happens compensating for it in post can make all the difference. When I saw your shot I immediately knew that you probably had a gap at the...

    Custom Jigsaw Puzzles

    OK, folks, I've found a bunch of sites that will do a jigsaw puzzle from a photo, but I'm looking to produce something like a 16x20 or bigger jigsaw (1000-ish pieces) for some Christmas gifts. Any recommendations?

    Great Deal at B&H on MeFoto Roadtrip

    B&H is taking $100 off the MeFoto Roadtrip Aluminum tripod thru the end of the day ($109 after discount). Alas only for the white and hot pink ones are discounted, but hey white will camoflauge in the snow, right?! It's a seriously good, compact tripod with Arca-Swiss head. I've had one since...

    Just in case you don't want to watch the video, this is a screen grab of what I'm seeing in Photoshop.

    Color issue in PhotoShop - Need Help (see Video)

    OK, folks, here's a weird one. I'm editing an image in Photoshop and do a black and white conversion using Silver Efex Pro. When it comes back to Photoshop it's got colors. These were not visible in Silver Efex, nor are they visible in Lightroom when I save it. Here's a video of what I'm...

    Anyone Upgraded to Ps 2017 ??

    Wanted to see if anyone here has upgraded to Ps 2017 yet (released this week)? In the past the major releases like this have killed all the connections to various filters (Nik, Topaz, etc) as well as custom toolbars and I wanted to know if that happens again before upgrading - I've got just...

    Lightroom Import Issue

    You need to actually have something selected for Import so the Destination section appears in the dialogue. As is we cannot see what it's pointing to...

    Lightroom Import Issue

    OK, take a look at this... Folders and Pictures are both labels for the exact same place (if you scroll down further under your Pictures entry I suspect you'll find the Rhosilli folder), so you don't have the photos in two places you only have two methods of showing that place in your...

    Lightroom Import Issue

    When Lightroom finishes an import it parks you in the Previous Import section of your catalog. This is not a "folder" it's simply a collection of sorts that Lightroom uses so that you can quickly see all the images in the last import. Why? Because, like me, many people organize their...

    High ISO Magenta Noise Again

    Here's one SOOC at ISO 12800, reduced to 1000px and a 100% crop in the area folks seem to say it occurs in. No magenta for me.

    math freaks

    And it's difficult because, a) people don't pay attention to details (which is why they don't notice the missing operators at the end of each line and assume it's another '+'), and b) people didn't pay enough attention in math class because they spent too much time saying they'll never need it...

    Upstate NY Fall Meet-Up?? October 8-9, 2016

    For those familiar, this is a look at Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca. The bottom area is normally full for swimming. Water levels are down 2-3 feet, and there's a trickle on the falls. But as I said, colors are starting to show up.

    Watching the Nikon Press Conference at Photokina...

    ... and I want to kill myself. So far I've learned that Nikon is now making a bunch of GoPro's, and that Nikon has paid for one and only one piece of music for all of their promotional videos, causing an earworm that has exhausted my will to live.

    How to delete printer profiles in PCC

    I'm not on Windows so Paul's recommendation may work fine for you, but on a Mac the profiles get split into two locations. One, as found in this article which contains the above information, gives me all the non-printer specific profiles. In your post it sounds like you want to delete the...

    Sigma 8-16mm w/ D500 - Anyone?

    Since getting it I've mainly had long glass on my D500, but this passed weekend I had occasion to stick my old Sigma 8-16mm on it. At first I had an issue with autofocus working, but I removed and reseated the lens and it was fine. I normally don't turn the camera off when I'm done...

    Changing a shade of green

    As I understand it, the Lightness slider determines the amount of black and white in the color. This is much like the luminance slider in the HSL section of Camera Raw, but as I said the ACR adjustments aren't as far sweeping. Digging deeper, in ACR the Hue slider sets the effective point for...
