I took your advice and downloaded your custom curve. In addition to this curve what Focus and Exposure settings do you reccommend for a D100 Rookie?

One more question...the custom curve I loaded onto camera will remain there unless I choose another or choose default settings...is that correct?

Thanks for all your great info.....have a wonderful New Year !!!

Actually, after using these custom tone curves, I haven't had to worry about my exposures at all. I literally point and shoot now. I get perfect photos in any metering setting, even using the matrix meter. The only thing that I would suggest is that if you're using flash, set the flash compensation to +1.0 at first.

Thanks again...I can already see the colors are more vivid...my earlier photos tended to be a bit flat.

Just to be sure.....that custom curve setting will stay on camera until reset??

Coach John
 
This may seem like a dumb question, but is the flash compensation the one on the flash itself or in the camera?

I use AdobeRGB because it is the widest space and includes the entire gamuts of the other two color spaces. I don't make any other changes to my settings at all. I have a Photoshop "correction.ahu" file that corrects the colors of the D100 that I find gives me nicer greens, warmer skin tones, and bluer skies. You might want to try it out as well.

fotogenetic,

Call me slow, but I don't understand the "correction.ahu" file. Can you explain how to use it?

Thanks,
John

In Photoshop, go to the menu bar and click on Image > > Adjustments > > Hue/Saturation and click on load. Find the file and load it. You'll see it's effect on the image.

John, I was a little slow too. LOL , but figured it out. When you downloaded the custom curve, the ahu. file was in their as well, so you unzipped the file to a specified location..........

When you take a pic and put it into Photoshop, you select "image" on the tool bar, select adjustments, then pic Hue/Sat- On the right side their is a button to LOAD- you then select the correctionahu. file and load it! That simple...........

Hope that helps!
