PRISCILLA TURNER

As I wrote to my parents at the time from Vancouver BC where I live: No, we were in absolutely no danger when Mt. St. Helen’s blew, and we haven’t even had any ash blown up this far. Numbers of ...

One thing I have sometimes done is to crop my 2:3 image to the top two-thirds and then elongate that crop to a 2:3 image. That works only if you had some useless foreground, but it can give you ...

Sorry to be slow, but others have mentioned DxO's ViewPoint for me. N.B. VP may be applied flexibly so that you get true verticals as though using a rising front, or with more 'natural' effects. ...

Myself I'd deal with this by straightening verticals in a newish edition of DxO. Yes, you can do it in PS but with much more bother.

A4 substrates will also do the trick. Am puzzled why you are not matting your prints. Then you print smaller than the substrate anyhow. And PS will print your reduced image dead centre or as near ...

This may not help, but when I open a raw in either DxO or PS, there is normally an 'As Shot' Kelvin value visible.

Yes, the latitude of digital sensors has improved since I started out in late 2007. However, I like to cut the exposure knot by putting a filter over the lens. The factor means that I need not ...

These people https://matshop.com/ (I deal all the time with the Canadian centre .ca) have lovely deals on all you need. For mats of conservation grade I don't see much the matter with these: ...

This is my most recent contribution but it isn't as full as it might be: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4212142 . If I did a long search I might find some older fuller discussions. Someone ...

This is a v. common but mistaken view. As I have frequently argued in this forum, colour correction filters are essential to avoid hideous underexposure, with consequent noise in the blue channel, ...

Yes, with lots of work on Channels, but not with using the so-called photographic filters in PS. Filters, for instance an 80A or FL-Day, subtract, but the so-called filters in PS merely put a ...

There's nothing to beat IrfanView 4.00 AFAIK.

For my purposes, indispensable. I have it set to ON automatically in each of my three user modes.

The electronic ink is scarcely dry on this thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4274279 There's no need to think about matting unless you mean to glaze. Actually for a big print 24 x 36 ...

I have commended Bainbridge (and by implication other) adhesive backing material. One little hazard is that you stick your print down and then find that it's crooked in relation to the mat. ...

The conventional wisdom used to be that the truly professional way was never to stick the print down permanently. I obeyed this for years, accepting the associated problem with a bigger item that ...

As others have stated, the store-bought mat opening is always cut .5 in. smaller in either direction. If you then print to the edges of your paper, you lose a lot of image, especially on smaller ...

Yes, I too am talking about my own experience and observation, with four Pentax DSLRs starting with the K10D. I am not a scientist or mathematician, just a v. experienced photographer, but this ...

Incandescent is a notorious problem with the whole lot of them. I've found that an 80A blue corrective filter and setting the WB to daylight is the only remedy. Using that has other advantages, ...

If it's simple to isolate the sky (and you may need to make your adjustment layer by selecting the area with the lasso tool, carefully excluding the white which isn't sky), replace the white with ...
