Marco S Hyman's recent activity

  • It's a physically small camera with an APS C sensor.  It has both optical and electronic viewfinders.  If that appeals to you buy it.  Otherwise don't.  There are other APS C cameras that have...
  • No issues with FireWire on the new Mac. You need the apple adapter cable which plugs into the thunderbolt port on the Mac and has a FireWire connector on the other end where you plug your existing...
  • It may fade and become unsupported... All software does, eventually.  But there have been 8 updates since released 2 years ago.  That rules out the "quickly" part of your comment in my...
  • This. Except today the sweet spot may be buying 20 16 gig-cards. When a card is full put it away.  Better yet mail it home.
  • There is an AppleScript that let's you copy masks between adjustments.  I saw it mentioned in one of the Aperture related Google groups.
  • Did you miss the export as master (or whatever they call it now) command.  You can export the master or you can export any of of your  versions in many formats, not just tiff. So what was it you...
  • The only way to get consistent exposure is to shoot 100% manual. Turn off auto ISO. Take a test shot. Verify your exposure settings. Then shoot away. And shoot raw so you can adjust in post if...
  • I've had good luck with both Epson and Canon printers. There are plenty to choose from in your price range.
  • First thing I do when putting a used machine in service is to re-partition the disk and then re-install the OS from external media.  That's the only way I can be 100% sure that the machine contains...
  • This.  I'm used to the lack of EC (or whatever you want to call it) in manual modes with auto ISO as my Canon cameras have the same limitation.  I was so disappointed, on tbe other hand, to find...
  • Better than Free Memory is the "Page Outs" counter.  If "Page Outs" is other than zero your system has had to copy data used by an inactive process from memory to disk to make room for some other...
  • if you are getting stutters and dropped frames on playback with a 2 year old mac you've issues other than the video card.  My late 2007 iMac can play back 1080p H.264 without issue.   However....*...
  • No hood, no filter.   The camera lives in a cheap neoprene  case when not in use.  When in use the case w/lens cap is stuffed in a pocket.   My concession to camera safety is to slip my wrist...
  • 32 GB ram for the iMac 27 was < $200 at OWC. I bought my iMac with minimum memory and put the OWC memory in as soon as I pulled it out of the box. I'm saving the 8 GB that came with the iMac for a...
  • See http://www.tuaw.com/2012/12/28/sorry-folks-book-publishers-dont-know-apples-plans/ for reasons why an Amazon notice of some possible new book means little.
  • Replied in new i-mac
    21.5" must be pulled completely appart to upgrade RAM.  As noted above this involves heat guns and destroyed double sided tape that needs to be replaced.  The mother board must be removed to access...
  • Color grading in FCPX: http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-contentsMore than you probably want to know.Edit: I assume you meant FCPX when you wrote Final Cut Pro.
  • Hold down the option key when you adjust the recovery slider and you'll see exactly what is being recovered.  Don't try to recover everything.   There's no detail in specular highlights to...
  • That is exactly what I did.  I also ordered the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter cable so I can use my existing external drives when the new iMac arrives.  I ordered on the afternoon of Nov 30 and...
  • Now take some shots of your 5D with the X100 in the same lighting and post them side-by-side!
