This is not in adobe's long term plan. Lightroom walks the line as being used by both consumers and pro/enterprise people. They want to push Creative Suite apps to just be more enterprise or high...

You want at least one (or more) large (36x48") softboxes. Position the main softbox to the side, if you have more softboxes put one or two on either side of the camera and or slightly above On the...

This is correct. It doesn't check every day and there is some flexibility in this respect. This is my concern. 90% of the time it's not an issue, but if I'm paying that money I expect it to work...

Good to know. I know the WL's were built like a tank and are better if you're going to treat them poorly and knock the stands over. I'm just more concerned with just wear from firing. Thanks. \~K

Thank you, this is very good to know. This isn't for making art. This is for documenting art, so it's going to be high production. Generally I recommend using Brocolors but but even with those...

For paintings with heavy impasto (heavy build up of paint or visible brush strokes) there are several approaches. One is to use very large light banks from over head and use the lights at 45 to...

I'm curious how much abuse the Einstein lights can take. They look great on paper, but I work in a relatively high production setting... needing to take a few hundred photos over the course of an 8...

Yes Adobe wants to go cloud, on paper it seems more profitable and the income is more consistent and predictable. However they will have serious issues implementing it. While many users have...

You can buy a CS5->CS6 or CS5.5->CS6 upgrade. Photoshop CS6 ($199): http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide-upgrades.html Photoshop CS6 Extended...

Yes, and you have to do so through Adobe.com you can no longer buy an upgrade version from B&H or Amazon or something like that. Which might be why some people mistakenly think they cannot upgrade...

You can upgrade, however upgrade pricing is only available through Adobe.com, you can't buy it through B&H. And as of the this year you can only upgrade from the previous version (CS5 or CS5.5) You...

We have a Nikon D700 and that we put on a microscope. For teaching purposes it would be nice to get live view video from the camera and either display it on a large screen (or maybe several...

You really need to think about what your priorities are. You don't want to spend $800 on a lens but you plan on buying a $2000 or more camera in the "near" future. How near is that? Before the end...

A circular polarizer is actually 2 filters in one, a polarizing filter on the front and a quarter-wave plate on the back. The polarizing filter blocks out light with specific polarizations (which...

You're not going to notice a general difference between aluminum and carbon fiber. Of course a cheap tripod will have issues, but that's because it's cheap an not specific to a given material. When...

Just so you know M42 is an old screw style lens mount, and my recommendation below was given assuming that is what you were looking for. I think now that you mean to type M4/3 which is often used...

You didn't specify the application or requirements. If you get either some M42 extension tubes or better yet an M42 Bellows you'll be able to focus very very close with any lens. You just want to...

I have an odd request. Looking for a way of attaching Nikon G series lens (60mm f/2.8G ED Micro and 24-120mm f/4G ED) to a camera that has an M42x1 mounting bracket... I know that's odd but we have...

I think it's just the number of 5Ds sold was much greater, and then the 5D Mk II sold an order of magnitude more than the 5D. And with the Mk II came a lot of first time DSLR buyers who just...

Yes the names are the 5D and the 1D. However on this forum saying a 5D people will immediately assume you mean a 5D Mk II or now a 5D Mk III. And to a lesser extent people will get confused if you...
