There are a zillion 'painting' programs/plugins out there. The trick is to know what you want to achieve and what will give you those results. I use Filter Forge. Heaps of free presets available ...

There is a market. ALL you have to do is find it. Folks will buy anything if it's presented the right way in the right place. A few years back I walked into a museum that didn't really interest me. ...

Just a thought. There has been a lot of colorizing threads in recent times. I love the work and admire those who post some great results. But given some recent controversy over editing other folks ...

I'm looking for an answer as to why the handles on my Vanguard tripod have gone sticky. It's the rubber grips on the two adjustment handles. Any idea what is causing it and can they be fixed/replaced?

Ray it won't be easy and will take some work. Here's what I would try. Create approx 6 layers of the old image and 6 layers of the new image. The 6 old at the bottom of your stack. Then increase ...

Open NX-D. Make your changes. In the top right corner hit Convert Files. A window will open. At the bottom of that window you will see 'Destination'. Choose your preferred location and hit Start.

First things first. Do as much as possible to get your images right at the time of capture. Time spent mastering the camera will be far more beneficial than hours spent trying to 'fix' bad ...

Good old Topaz DeNoise 6. Given the right use of the sliders it can be as good as any of the other software. IMHO.

Good one Ray.

Unless you are a pro then it's all meant to be a hobby of some sorts. It's not a hobby if it's not fun. Only OP can decide if it will be fun.

I don't use Affinity. But check that you are directing Affinity to the correct folder. It should be /Topaz labs LLC/. Older versions of Studio didn't have the LLC. Hope that helps.

Sorry my misunderstanding. The tablet has few input options other than the basic control features. Think of it as a fancy mouse that relies on the editing software.

I have used a Wacom for many years. In my experience the software you are using is just as, if not more, important than the tablet software itself. Its important to set your editor etc up for it ...

Kent your problem is the single shots mixed in between the brackets. As far as I know you'll have to pull those single shots our one by one. I'm not sure of any software that will know what is and ...

There's a ? on the end of my post. So I don't have the answer. But knowing camera manufacturers my guess is that all of them have a slight variation on how their cameras interpret the data. Many ...

Is there an assumption here that all cameras/manufacturers white balance settings are the same?

Photography is a visual event. Asking for C&C and then expecting a long wordy response often fails to get the C&C across effectively. The most timely, and direct, response is to do a quick edit to ...

White balance is one good reason to shoot raw. I always leave white balance on Auto and tweak it at the raw conversion stage. Yes it's more work but its surprising how often you need to tweak it.

Google Digital Camera Warehouse. You will find better prices. They have a few stores.
