PRISCILLA TURNER

O Canada!

Always save as 48-bit .tif if you possibly can. I keep the .jpg stage to last, for my big printable edition posted for resale on ImageKind or RedBubble. The only time I start with a .jpg is if the ...

I've never had anything bad from matshop.com/ca. I get all my mattes, plexi, backing etc. from them.

Ever so much more flattering to imperfect skin :-)

Don't want to carp, but aren't they both a bit on the pinky side?

I have not done astro, but for daily use as I walk/travel about the GPS system is invaluable. You just have to remember to turn it on; I have set all my user modes to do this at startup. It then ...

Yes, I believe it will. It's just a matter of tacking on data before or after your existing name/title. For instance, what you feed in could be MyNewName OldFileName #, and then you save the whole ...

In IrfanView 4.00, New Name Of My Image $N # does the trick. You set the order and the starting number; I usually use the order of taking.

1. Adopt the Tamron 16-300. 2. Include subject distance in exif.

I do this all the time with DxO's Viewpoint 3. Works fine so long as there are definite vertical lines in the image. Select all, run the tool. Much more accurate than doing it by hand, and less ...

Topaz used to be better if more laborious, but it was overtaken by DxO some time ago. DxO's NR also has the advantage of being part of a one-step process which can be applied to a whole batch of ...

Yes. Just make sure that either is acid-free. You can avoid that and fill a large, say 24 x 36 in. frame, if you get them to laminate as well. Then you can put a really good museum-grade anti-UV ...

This appears to be a newly reissued book, if that's relevant. Somewhere along the line the publisher has paid someone for the use of your image. He needs to pay you or use another image from ...

If you glaze at all, the surface of the glazing, whether glossy or anti-glare, will be the basic determinant of the look of the substrate. The only way that the finish of the substrate can be ...

Ed, very many of us would love to be able to talk to Ron, but sadly he went to his reward quite a few months ago. See two or so posts back from yours, not to mention a long thread in memoriam .

Here's your posted image done with my preset at 100%. I quite like it: we do see tones very selectively in real life, our pupil opening up and closing down all the time according to the brightness. ...

It’s fairly primitive, but this homemade preset applied to a single well-exposed image (make a full-sized .tif) will give you a choice of effects in PS: Duplicate current layer Invert Desaturate Se ...

My former offering with some small refinements in PS, namely 25% saturation and my homemade Contrast Mask at 25% opacity. Banding is beginning to appear in the sky, but what is to be expected with ...

V. QuicknDirty, DxO11 Elite, Clearview 100%, WB on mountain rock, Style: Landscape produces this:-- Two minutes’ work at the outside. I haven’t touched your size, sharpening or colour-space, I have ...
