    Color Efex confusion over versions

    Color Efex 2.0 for Capture NX and Color Efex 3.0 for Photoshop products... Why the two version numbers? Based on the fact the 2.0 works with Capture NX and 3.0 works with Photoshop... they have different filters and indeed a different number of filters. To me 3.0 Photoshop product is not an...

    Cutting Round Corners on Wallets

    Alex, I checked with my wife. This rounder is the only size they make. After cutting the four corners I placed them back together to make a small square and a dime fit just perfectly in the left over hole. So the radius is about the size of a dime. It really didn't take too much off and it...

    Material for a Homemade Reflector

    Check out: http://www.studiolighting.net/aluminum-foil-reflectors/ This has worked well for me. You can also get pretty good results just buying plain old white formboard and using it as is. I was quite surprised at how much light is reflected from white foamboard. -- -CRitchie

    Books or online tutorials on lighting

    I'm going through Chuck Gardner's stuff right now: http://super.nova.org/DPR/ I'm just now getting started with lighting and I'm currently learning to light the subject from a window and a home made aluminum foil reflector. -- -CRitchie

    Comparing apples to apples - lighting equipment

    Good points and well taken. I like the window and reflector idea. It all started when my wife bought me a SB800 for my Nikon D70 for my birthday. Well recently I decided to see what I could do with the speedlight. I set the SB800 to remote and my built-in flash to commander mode and played...

    Comparing apples to apples - lighting equipment

    Well I'm a hobbiest looking to play around with studio lighting on the cheap. But I'm not looking for opinions on how well they work. I'm just trying to figure out the best bang for my buck from a specs and features (not performance) standpoint. Therefore I just wanted to make sure that when I...

    Comparing apples to apples - lighting equipment

    B&H has the Stellar 150 umbrella kit for $523.95 while the comparable AB B400 kit (the DigiBee) is going for $599.03. I wouldn't call that half the price but $75 cheaper does make one want to look hard at the Interfits. It gets even more interesting when we see that the Interfit 300 Umbrella...

    Comparing apples to apples - lighting equipment

    to make sure I compare the correct classes to each other. For example when looking at cars I know to compare the Camry to the Accord, they are in the same class so to speak. I know not to compare the Camry to the BWM M5 as that is not exactly fair to the Camry. Looking at the spec sheets it...
