The quality you are referring to here is commonly referred to as "3D Pop" which is the perceived illusion of physical depth and separation from 2D media. You are right to suspect that the camera ...

Yannis, like you I prefer shooting primes. Zooms are purely for convenience... and, in the case of UWA in DX, to get access to a wider focal length. Looking at your Flickr page I suspect you would ...

Oh no! According to Camera Conspiracies, Nikon will be out of business by 2021 and the Z's are among the final nails in the coffin. I nearly spat out my coffee several times laughing at this. :-D E ...

Here’s my view on this... given that the Tokina’s both lack VR the f/2.8 takes priority over focal length range for me. Why? An f/4 lens without VR is generally too slow for indoor static work. ...

This lens just arrived yesterday and tested out perfectly on three of my DX cameras (D60, D200, and S5 pro). Even the outer AF points on each camera focused accurately which is important as none ...

Looking forward to seeing your results! If you can manage to bear shooting that long under the bright Indian sun, it would be especially fun to see the same person/scene shot by all of the ...

Not sure if the D300 is covered. Tamron only say that the D300S is compatible with their 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD. https://www.tamron.jp/en/product/lenses/electromagnetic_diaphragm.html I ...

Agree on the value of dropping the exposure to protect saturated colors from shifting. Color shifts in saturated areas can happen even when their respective color channels are not close to ...

Hey, Not an old man, just like you I still shoot a Nikon D700 and D200. I venture that when you say you're having trouble with D700 colors you are speaking of your SOOC results? If so, you may be ...

I bought Luminar 2018 with free upgrade to Luminar 2019 (with DAM) for $49. That's a pretty compelling price point. Luminar is built for standard sRGB displays. Its color management limitations ...

I agree with the rationale expressed above. Adobe RGB is a wider color space and when operating in a fully calibrated workflow with an AdobeRGB capable printer and monitor it can yield ...

Basically, yes. Same here. It’s a bit ironic. The color virtues of Luminar are patently self evident to me in sRGB, but those with wide gamut monitors running AdobeRGB can’t see them simply because ...

I'm not sure what Luminar package you bought, but I bought Luminar 2018 which will include a full upgrade to Luminar 2019. So in my case at least the 2019 update is free.

mcslsk - Yes, I also saw that report in the search for data on WCG monitor market share in photo editing. Unfortunately, it mixes HDTV market share with computer monitor share so not as helpful as...

David - They don't say, but I would doubt that Luminar are using sRGB for RAW processing internally (that would be too restrictive).

It's more likely that sRGB is hard coded in Luminar for...

mcslsk - The NEC PA272W is one of those AdobeRGB capable wide gamut monitors. You are definitely better off waiting until Luminar support wide gamut displays in Windows. I'm pretty sure they are...

mcslsk - I get more detail, better color accuracy, richer tonality, and a more natural rendering via Luminar than I do via Lr. Whereas Adobe's tone curves and black point adjustments easily crush...

mcslsk - My 1% market size for wide gamut monitors is merely a personal estimate. Regardless of the actual percentage, it's widely known to be very low.

"Wide gamut displays are a small...

So you must have a “serious” wide gamut monitor that requires a CMS then? Because if you only have an sRGB monitor (like 99% of us do) then the hard coded sRGB space of Luminar 2018 presents no...

I actually prefer the rich, organic ouput I get from Luminar 2018 over the thin, washed out results Lightroom tends to generate. Sure, the UI isn’t as refined as Lr and some RAW process tools still...
