@Daniel, thanks for the heads up on that application. I've heard of it but never really looked into it. I reckon because of the word, 'RAW' might've held me off from any consideration. I shoot...

Do you have link to this darktable?

That already has happened quite a while back, but as an extension to LR or PS I think, and not an incorporation into Photo Lab.

Interesting observation on Luminar. So then, out of curiosity, what might you recommend as tnon-rental, non-subscription-based alternatives? Affinity? Exposure X3? DxO Photo Lab? Other? ...

For myself the Canoscan 9000F Mark-II I mention of above for all practical purposes is sufficient for my needs. I am not a professional ready to dump 100's of dollars into some high end film...

So then the logical thing to do is ignore the post, don't waste valuable time to comment, KeepCalm, and move on.

Thanks for the tip.  Aside from understanding OOC to mean 'out-of-camera', I am not too knowledgeable on what a mono-JPEG OOC is versus just the JPG images I usually take with my camera.

@hammerbytp,  True. But what we wish and hope for, and what manufacturers actually give us are two different things and beyond our control. Having said that, I think I've read on occasion that ...

@EskeRahn,
".... if we concentrate too much on documenting a thing, we naturally have to concentrate less on experiencing it. And we may end by not remembering what we saw well, as we know we...

Exactly what I was thinking. Soft plastic case to cushion the smartphone, and lessen any slippery grip. Better yet, used with a compact handgrip monopod/tripod and smartphone bracket holder for...

Out in that 'wilderness' the smartphone is still useful. The camera still takes photos / videos. Whether you want to send a photo immediately to Facebook or wherever is another issue. Immediacy...

Of those 3, which is the loser then?

I have exactly that model, the Canoscan 9000F Mark-II ( https://goo.gl/cwzDVJ ). I think it is sufficient and works well. 9600 dpi on the negatives and up to 4800 on all other documents (i.e.,...

Basically that is what it comes down to, plus, up to two strips of film can be processed at one go accommodating 8-10 frames in the holder. Or if mounted slides, then a single row for 4 frames at...

I wonder if a Canoscan 9000F Mark-II flatbed will suffice in lieu of this.

I just tried this technique with my Panasonic G9 by setting LVF to monochrome. It works fine. I used a Minolta 58mm / f1.4 MF lens set to f1.4, G9 set to P-mode, and red color (high gain) as the ...

Yeah, I am thinking to get the Fuji X-T100 soon-to-be-released here in Japan. This week Thursday (6/21) in fact. I am concerned about how well focus peaking will be implemented in this camera as I ...

It is still in the top ten (#7) of all compacts selling in Japan too.  It is known as TZ-85 in the Japan market. http://kakaku.com/camera/digital-camera/ranking_0050/

We have two competing opinions here on focus peaking, one being that Sony is better then Fuji and vice versa. From my own past experience with Sony A6000/A6500, I can attest that Sony has sharp ...

I agree. At this price point as a sidekick, occasional use lens, I also would not mind. Compact and light too. Alternatively and for a bit higher price ($145) you can get a 7 Artisans...
