Good helpful article. In following the link to the page comparing Photoshop CS6 to Elements I discovered that Elements really has limited support for 16-bit editing; that's a deal breaker for me. ...

The poll doesn't address my main concern: losing control over when updates to my software are made.

1. I can't imagine anything worse than being under pressure to get something done and...

It's too bad the new Blackberry wasn't included in this review; it's TimeShift camera setting looks very interesting and no other smartphone has a similar function. I would have been interested to...

The ID-X, although full frame, is still one of Canon's top selling cameras and costs almost $7,000 US, yet is only an 18 mpx camera.  That's twice the price of the FF 5D Mark III, a 22.3 mpx...

As others have said, the amount of RAM you need depends on what applications you are running, the sort of data you are working with, and your workflow.   So the best way to tell if you would...

As a 50D owner I must say I wouldn't mind having the swivel LCD panel in the back, but don't forget that the 50D is better built and has MFA.  I know you know this but sometimes a rebate looks so...

Wow.  Guys usually to the "mine is bigger than yours thing", but you just won the mine was smaller than yours contest.  I started with an Apple IIe with 1 floppy drive and I'm pretty sure it had...

Too true, but applications are worse.  I used to run dBASE III off a floppy; now I use MySQL and it takes over 120 MB of my drive.  Or how about this: when I was running DOS 3.1 I knew what every...

My first hard drive was a 10 MB drive and cost me $700 CDN.  It was a big step up from two floppies.  The guy who sold it to me said "You'll outgrow it in a year."  I put everything I had in my box...

In Windows a folder has a "Size" and a "Size on disk", which are two different things entirely and whether or not the Apple OS makes that distinction, it's still there.  It has to do with how files...

You can safely save an image once in JPEG without loosing a noticeable amount of detail; the banding I referred to occurs when you modify the JPEG image and it becomes more pronounced as you go...

I'm not sure why you've seen this unless you opened the file in an app that automatically resaves the file when you close it.  A JPEG file will NEVER change size if it is only viewed.  You have to...

You're welcome.  I forgot to add another important point.  JPEG is an 8-bit format, which means it uses only 8 bits to record data for each of the three colour channels, whereas PSD and TIFF are 16...

JPEG is a lossy compression format, which means that the image is compressed to save file space and that the compression algorithm discards (loses) information (pixels) that the algorithm feels can...

It might make a bit more sense if "v" stood for "variation" rather than value.

Just a short qualification to your excellent comment.  The flash with cast a shadow on the bottom of the image only if the 17-55 ise used at it's shortest focal length.  Zooming out even a little...

ETR is a rule of tbumb that doesn't apply in all situations; you have to think about what you're doing.  In this case the peak in the middle of the histogram simply means that most of the pixels in...

Thanks. I agree about the contrast, but whenever I draw it down the image seems a bit dull. I've processed this set of shots at least 10 ways now and I know I'm not done with it yet.

Ah ha. Finally someone has figured out Canon's model naming system.

In your first post you referred to children performing on stage.  That's quite different from the photo you posted.  The light from the flash will fall off very quickly.  I can't remember exactly...
