What steams me the most about Adobe's plan is that if I have existing files and don't keep my subscription current, I can't edit those files as I could with a perpetual license. Also, if I don't...

You've probably heard this before, but please focus on photography! The time spent reviewing phone features could be better spent on lens reviews, editing software, camera tips, and other things...

My ideal camera is something like the D800/EOS 5D with a sensor that tilts inside the camera body in both the vertical and horizontal axes. This would offer view-camera adjustments to focus that...

I like the new design overall, especially the preview of replies feature. One thing I still want is an "expand all replies" feature to allow quick reading of all replies rather than having to...

(continued) If one must stop a medium-format lens down more, doesn't that mean sharpness is reduced? Not for two reasons. First, the pixels are larger at the same resolution on larger formats. ...

I shoot with everything from a 1/1.7" P/S compact through 35mm FF, 645, 6x7, and 4x5. To some extent there is truth in Schulz' opinion that medium format is different from 35mm at the same...

Agreed, my monitor does not show anything serious. It's likely your monitor or calibration.

Also, I looked at a histogram of the sky for the Jpeg you posted in Photoshop. The sky area definitely shows combing of the color data. This could be from a variety of sources (raw converter, LR,...

If you used View NX 2 (the free raw developer that ships with the D800) the resulting output is 8 bits, even when you specify 14-bit output. This is a bug in View NX 2 and Nikon hasn't fixed it...

Corner blur can be a consequence of lens design constraints. Good tilt/shift lenses are not flat field, unlike fixed ones. See http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/focusing-ts.shtml. If...

Yes, the problem is in View NX 2. Sorry for any confusion. The attached image shows the difference between the two histograms.

I just downloaded the trial version of Capture NX 2, and the TIFF output from that software does not have the combing issue. Word to the wise: You will lose color depth with View NX 2. I've...

I'm using View NX 2.3.2 (the latest updates applied) and selected 16-bit TIFF output for a raw image from a D800 camera, where the NEF was recorded in 14-bit high quality. When I open this image...

Any comments on whether Capture NX 2 is worth $179 compared to View NX 2? As a nature/landscape photographer I am curious if people have examples where they decided Capture NX was essential to get...

Government, get out of my camera bag!
