  1. I really don't know where to have this discussion. I wish to create a number of photo books to document my 50 years as a photographer. I don't care about selling them or at least I don't care about making money from them. I have spent considerable time watching YouTube videos and landed on Blurb to give it a try. It has good reviews and you can produce the book in Lightroom and upload directly to Blurb. I must say that the all B&W test book I had printed was not good. The images were flat with a green color cast. I provided them with the file types they asked for including the color profile they requested etc. and my screen is always calibrated for making my own prints. Anyone have any luck getting good B&W quality from any book publishers? None of them seem to have user forums. Thanks
  2. Anyone besides me seen this? I leave test prints taped up around my office for a long time. They tend to get yellow around the edges on the back and sometimes on the unexposed portions of the emulsion side. Do I have a bad batch of paper or has anyone else seen this. Iflford Gold Fiber Silk prints up longer with no yellowing.
  3. This was my favorite paper for years until Ilford discontinued it for some reason. I tested a bunch of papers after its demise and landed on Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag. It's OK, but I long for getting my Gold Fiber Silk back. The Canson is so thick I have problems rolling it up to put it in a tube for shipping. I don't care how thick my paper is, its going in a frame. Also I have noticed of late that prints I have had taped to my wall for over a year are yellowing on the back and the white edges not printed on. That's definitely not OK. Anyone know if another company purchased the Gold Fiber Silk formula and it is available from another brand ? Thanks
  4. Thanks you so much. This did the trick. I did understand this stuff when setting up my last computer nearly 10 years ago, but didn't store the info anywhere.
  5. Sorry, I know this has been addressed, but after reading the first post, the rest disappeared and I can't find them again.... I just purchased a new computer (Windows 10) and upgraded from CS6 to CC 2020. I have had things printing properly for years. Unfortunately I did not keep track of the two above mentioned settings from Windows 7 and CS6. I know how to calibrate my screen and how to turn off color management and select my paper profile when printing with my Epson P600 printer. I let Photoshop manage colors with a paper profile. I don't remember what I am supposed to do the the above mentioned settings. I shoot in sRGB on my cameras. Can someone give me a quick refresher on these two settings. I do all of my own printing, never send anything out. Thanks.
  6. Thanks, I think I sent the D700 to Chicago so that recommendation is probably it. Cleaning is cheaper when not sent to nikon, BUT, if Nikon finds something else wrong with you camera like a small scratch on the sensor coating they won't clean your camera with out replacing that. I don't think I have a scratch on my sensor, but I didn't think there was one on my D700. I was hard pressed to find it, but it was there and had no effect on my images. Wasted lots of time and money with shipping etc. Would rather not go down that road again.
  7. I live in Washington State, but have no problem sending it elsewhere.
  8. My D610 really needs a good cleaning. I sent my D700 to be cleaned by someone other than Nikon before I sold it a few years ago, but can't find the receipt. Haven't been on Photo.ne for a long time. I know this is somewhere in it's archives, but not having much luck searching this site. Recommendations. Thanks
  9. I stored my computer for a year while traveling. When I attempted to recalibrate my Nec Monitor for my favorite paper, Ilford Gallery prestige, the data were nowhere to be found. I spent months getting my screen and prints to match, now the data is gone. Don't have any recollection of where to begin. Ideas on where to start? Its amazing how much you can forget in a year. Thanks
  10. My Photo Printer is and Epson.....darn. I'm moving and its packed away and I don't remember what model it is. But its my printer for making prints for framing and sale. My other "problem" printer is a smaller format and only prints 8.5x11 with four ink cartridges. Epson Workforce 60. The printer was inexpensive an has performed well, but the ink is outrageously expensive and you can only buy the black ink separately. You have to buy the others in a set. Four cartridges coast almost as much as I paid for the printer. Well its on its last leg and I don't want to go down that road again. Suggestions for an inexpensive printer that allows me to buy cartridges individually ? Again, this is not my photo printer its for letter, labels, etc. Thanks
  11. Thank you all for taking the time to comment. Yes you gotta love real spoke rims on just about anything. I am pretty sure I remember I search for adventure, but couldn't find any evidence of it on line, but I know what you are talking about. Yes its hard for a classic like this to lose her dignity. Its always there waiting for someone to love it again. I have been scarce from PN, but always good to hear from old cyber friends. Marie, I'm guessing your marriage proposals from US citizens have increased dramatically in the last month. :-)

  14. <p>I am so sorry to post this question here, but I am getting nowhere with any Apple support or forums. Won't let me post my question. So here it is and hope someone can help.<br> OK, I am baffled, I thought I understood how this worked. I just upgraded to 1TB for about $10 USD/mo on iCloud and began doing a little more experimentation. Sometimes what I am trying to do works and sometimes it doesn't. So here it is in a nutshell. <br> I am planning on using iCloud as "ONE" (not my only) of my forms of backing up video and camera RAW files for a year long trip. I have a Windows based (Windows 10) laptop that fits easily into my backpack. I plan of using my second card slot in my Nikon as an automatic backup for my shots with a micro SD card that will fit into the tiny laptop. When my main card is full I will take the micro SD card out of the camera and drag the images from the SD card slot to the iCloud drive. Done. Well sometimes during my test runs, everything that I have dragged to the iCloud drive on my small laptop shows up in the cloud on my desktop. I can open my desktop where all processing will be done upon my return from my trip using Photoshop, etc. and open both RAW photos and video. However, sometimes my desktop shows my iCloud drive as emtpy. What's going on? I have downloaded the proper iCloud for windows to both of these computers. Am I missing something in the setting.<br> Again, the Cloud will not be my only form of back up but it will be the only one that can't get stolen while I am traveling. AND that's important.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
