    Pick the Sharpest Photo

    I think the sampling was small but the results were actually what would be expected via hindsight. 1/3 viewed as too close to call, the rest were spread around the middle ground and no one picked #4 which is likely the least sharp. The crop size was 3398 width, so if we made prints of the full...

    Pick the Sharpest Photo

    Here are the picks as of the disclosure of settings and my observations below. #4 was the f/5.6 shot and probably not as sharp due to narrow DOF as the focus distance was 6-8 feet (2 meters plus). The theoretical sharpest perceptually would maybe be #3 at f/11 or #6 at f/16, but of course...

    Here is the rest of the story. All 6 shots were taken on a tripod using the AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED. Common settings were 180mm, ISO 100 and 1/200 sec. The variables were aperture and flash power. The only post processing was LR's auto tone to even the exposure some...

    Pick the Sharpest Photo

    This is just for fun and a bit of learning. Going to set up a poll to find out which image appears to be the sharpest. This is not a perfect test, but thinking it will be interesting, whatever the result. The six images are six different shots. Edited to add: Have 18 votes, so going to stop...

    OK. I shut down all other programs except LR and the port to PE9 and back was much more tolerable. There's also a setting in the preferences about memory usage which may help it. Not sure I'll use it a lot, but as has been stated, the price was right. Same image exported from LR after the...

    OK. Figured out I can change the output file when the input comes from LR, but then I still have to export from LR to downsize.

    @Ozarkite Here's the pop-up softbox (Neewer) I have with a sample image that needed a bit more effort. A trial at best. Light source was just the ambient light coming through the windows into the room. NEEWER PHOTOGRAPHY TENT SOFTBOX KIT - neewer Has this front with slit to shoot through...
