DP2 Merrill, five years ago. Processed in SPP at that time, into Raw Therapee, into Picture Window Pro, all in color. Black and white made quickly with Fast Stone Image Viewer. See Original size

I shoot with a black Fuji X-Pro 2, which has a rangefinder form factor. I usually have a compact M-mount lens on it. When I pull the camera up to my eye, people about to cross the scene ...

If you are on Windows, you can try this solution, which does not use any program to print, simply the driver. 1. Control Panel | Devices and Printers | Epson P800 2. Open the driver dialog by ...

If it works, great. The reason I posted the other chart is that the algorithms of the camera JPG probably apply a tone curve, or tone curves per hue.

The set has character and enthusiasm for the subject. That is the plus, and if she is happy with them, then you can think about how you attained it. Keep that while you learn to correct the ...

You probably need to make your own transformation. Maybe photograph a chart like this one with both cameras, holding the light as constant as possible. Read pixel values and compare how the two ...

It is also called bit depth. While the flame dog foams, see this tutorial for a clear and concise introduction: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/bit-depth.htm

The magic of Leica is the lenses. Just get a used/old Summicron or Summilux, a generic adapter, and try it on your X-T2. If that strengthens your Leica lust, get more lenses and get a Fuji X-Pro 2 ...

The OVF has two scales for the bright frame; you switch by pulling the front lever out and holding it out for a few seconds. Then, when the bright frame for a lens will not fit, there are marks in ...

How would I know? The Touit 32/1.8 focuses quickly on my X-Pro 2.

Indeed Ilford does, at http://ilford.com/printer-profile-list . Paper manufacturers' profiles are often very good - certainly worth one test print.

Try reading: "for example." But once again, the dog barks flame bait.

Ilford might have a profile for its papers on your Canon. For it and for the Epson paper, you can have a profile made by a service shop, for example, Profiles By Rick .

Another vote for Raw Therapee. Export a .tif in the color space of your choice. Work on it in Picture Window Pro , now free. PWP has a good user interface - it is a personal project of Jonathan ...

That is what I saw with one comparison, too. Also, the Strip Offsets and Strip Byte Counts tags had different values. I don't think local contrast enhancement has much to do specifically with ...

Recently re-processed this five-year-old shot. A Helios 58/2 lens was mounted on a Pentax K-5 and set at f/8. His name is Jim Ryan, and last I heard he had moved to the Washington, D.C. area. I've ...

There is still room for craft skill in lens design, despite the fact that modern lenses do seem to converge to a common style (because they are all designed, not merely computed, by computer?). A ...

I had an Epson R2880. I had a couple of clogs over several years, nothing like your experience. Now I have an Epson P800 - no clog in the first year.

You might give the main tonal range slightly darkening contrast. To my eye, this adds to the drama of the first view from a distance and reduces the lure of moving in to see details. And it is a ...

The Minolta 58/1.4 is a gem. The Super Takumar lenses are affordable and good. The 55/2: See Original size Any generic adapter is fine.
