It looks like everyone releases processing soft these days. Only for Mac at the moment but I read somewhere a Win version is in the making. https://macphun.com/luminar I'm running the 2 weeks trial version, checking if it is better than what I currently use.

This is going to be the last shot I post for a while. I'll hit the road in a week and will be traveling for quite a while. Most of my gear is already packed and tomorrow the D810 will be boxed too. Then I got about a week left to arrange the last stuff where I'm currently living and get things...

Not great to shoot so I'm bored enough to take some shots to show the effect of closing down in relation to pixel pitch or the dreaded airy disk. First the D7200 with the smallest pixel size. I used the Zeiss 135mm since the lens is practically flawless. Too bad she doesn't close further than...

Guess what; the D750 finally has lens-data on DxO. That only took what? A year? Tests and reviews for the camera Nikon D750 Lenses tested - DxOMark

I was playing around a bit and decided to "load/save as" a JPEG multiple times to check what happens. Here are 4 shots; I each time loaded the previous and saved it as a new version using no editing whatsoever. Just load and then save as: max quality each time. When I noticed the file size...

I decided to make a new post for this. While talking with cbay about the differences between directly processing a NEF in LR and converting to TiFF first, I decided to test several versions. I took one NEF as is, loaded it in Capture and exported it as TiFF and as a finished JPEG. I then...

I'm always doing my thing in RT these days which could be limiting since I can get tunnel vision. So I'm curious what others can do with my shot. I shoot native ISO only which complicates post a little bit if you're not used to it. But basically it's nothing but some adjustment of exposure and...

Is anyone using M-discs as a storage medium? I'm thinking about getting an external writer for the Mac and store on 25GB Blu-rays. Normal DVDs are pretty fragile and even external drives deteriorate as time goes by so I was looking for something durable and stumbled upon the M-disc technology...

Has anyone tried shooting in TiFF instead of NEF or JPEG? I just noticed it is an option and although the file size is pretty big, it could be practical.

I must say I am so accustomed to those new options, I would no longer know how to do without. Oh wait; I do... in fact I've never known different. What's going on with me promised firmware? I am advancing huh? A very early April Fools? It's raining; I'm grumpy. ;)

I was reading up on scaling algorithms today and while doing, stumbled upon a small free program which, after testing, does a reasonable good job at scaling. It has some settings you can adjust to your liking and can handle more than one format. Here's some scaling I did of the first shot I...

I don't know if anyone has an answer to this. I've been working at what is possibly my most extreme dynamic range shot this far and after a lot of experimenting and tweaking, I managed to get something reasonable out of it but when I wanted to save the shot, I simply can't save what I see in...

Maybe it's good to have a post for all WB and calibration questions where we can post shots and others can point out if the colors/luminosity are out of balance? I'll continue here with the duck-temperature. I see the difference between both shots Mike but from what I get of both on the Mac's...

I don't know how many use RAWTherapee but, as suggested, it might be a good idea to have some post where we can ask others for advice or share tips. It's a fantastic program but not well documented. I'm using it for a while now and only today I discovered something which other editors probably...

Someone is trying to close in. Canon 750D & 760D Preview: Resolution boost for Canon entry-level DSLRs - DxOMark I'll be very pissed when I mention D750 and they think I'm shooting Canon. There should be some law against this.

This isn't about the focus freeze since I had not one since I disabled VR but about inconsistent focus. Sometimes for whatever reason it is as if the Tam forgot how to focus and hits it wrong very much. Today I lost too many shots because, when uploading and going through them, I noticed focus...

I don't know how many use this trick already but I'm since some days now. I got annoyed by not having direct ISO control in manual mode or having to disable/enable auto-ISO in menu when using it in manual. What I'm doing now is set auto-ISO enabled and then use exposure compensation in manual...

After reading that question about the D810 in regards to noise I wondered what the cam would grab when shooting faster shutter during low light. The settings in that post were 1/100s @ f/2.8 at a higher ISO. Being too lazy to go out, I took a shot out of the window here. I also used my native...

Nuff said.

The problem I have at nights is that focusing is pretty hard. I don't always have a clear object in the distance I can use and even when using the live-view zoom, since I work in darkness, anything I zoom in at is pretty dark and grainy. Upping ISO doesn't help much. Since the LCD does not...
