OK, I hope you don't mind me posting this here, but it was easier than uploading the corrected jpeg somewhere and PM'ing. Here's the original photo... Lots of stuff in the foreground to get rid of, with details behind that you want to keep. Definitely needs a combination of the content...

DxOMark - Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f3.5-4.5G ED VR and Nikon AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G review I know there was some discussion around these lenses recently.

UPS just dropped off the D600 body. Like last time they replaced the shutter, but this time they also have a MOD LOW PASS FILTER entry on the repair details. Not sure what that is, and I doubt I'll be able to find out, but I'll try for sure tomorrow. "MOD" represents modify to me and not...

Some amazing photos created from multiple timelapse stacked images (think "What if I made a picture instead of a video with these?") Smeared Skies Made from Hundreds of Stacked Photographs by Matt Molloy | Colossal

In your case there are 2 steps. First, you're dealing with a blue cast from the indoor lighting, so you need to fix the white balance. Second, the images are a little dark, but not so much in the way of overall exposures but that the lighting is dark in some areas and not others. Two things...

Might be a monitor difference, but the white balance seems a little cold. I've found that using the eyedropper tool is often easier than hunting and pecking with the sliders. The only thing I did in this edit was click the eyedropper on the white section on the cat's left shoulder.

I'd just fix the vertical perspective.

You know, the wall between patient and pissed? I'm there. For the record, my D600 has been with Nikon for a total of 30 days (and still counting) across two service visits for this problem. 24 of those days have been spent with the camera repair in "Parts Hold" status. I've been rather...

I've essentially stumbled on a couple revelations regarding post-processing sharpness adjustment recently - a combination of things I've seen in videos, read online and heard in seminars. All have added up to really change the way in which I not only view the importance of post-process...

Saw this on Nikon Rumors. If you haven't bit the bullet yet on Lightroom 4, you may want to wait. Not a lot of new information to go on but what's here sounds cool. Adobe Lightroom 5 public beta coming soon with some new features | Photo Rumors

Dave ... here's the list of NAPP available courses I was telling you about...

I'm about to enter my first summer with my MacBook Pro, and as the humidity ramps up here in NJ I can already feel the tackiness of my fingers against the Mac's touchpad. I was a mouse user when I was using a PC for editing, but I'm very curious about the pen controlers I see in all the...

I don't know if the background is so bad. You can always do this and say that you finally took a photo together.

Great read from Nasim Mansurov on DX vs. FX. It speaks of it in terms of sports and wildlife photography, but there's a lot of good information in there on the real differentiators of the two formats. DX or FX for Sports and Wildlife Photography

Same level of scrutiny and while it had dust spots, including some persistent ones, it wasn't close to the D600. Here's a shot from the D800 after 2250 actuations without any cleaning other than the blower, taken at f22 and enhanced in Lightroom (black slider full left). None of these have...

Alas, even after blowing the sensor "clean" this is what I have - including an extremely dark particle on the bottom left which is visible even at f7.1. I'm not even going to bother wet cleaning, I'm calling Nikon. Color me disappointed.

OK, I may be a little ahead of myself, but as I was processing photos taken this morning I saw these ... after already cloning out one dust spot. I haven't stuck a blower in there to see if they disappear, but given that I had no spots 10 shots before this I'm about to put my head on my pillow...
