Hi there,

I just noticed that I've been getting a lot of spam that is addressed

to ...@photo.net and I'm wondering if that address is being forwarded

to my email by mistake, or what's up?

Thanks for your time looking at this!

Right, nevermind...I'm stupid...

<br>

If I set the screen resolution in the preferences to 115ppi then the button that says print size works correctly, and the right click menu choice that says print size does not.<br>

Good enough for me, thanks for the help!<br>

S.

Sorry people, I do not think Stuarts answer is correct...<br>

Edit|Preferences|Units&Rulers gives you an option to set 'New Document Preset Resolutions'<br>

This seems to me to only be applicable when you create a new document from scratch.<br>

If I open a RAW file the resolutions are set in the RAW Convertor.

Well, I found a way to make it work...<br>

If I use the 'image size' dialog box, and set the resolution to 190ppi <b>without</b> resampling the image then the print size feature works like a charm.<br>

So my 300ppi 4x6 image turns into a 190ppi 9.474x6.316 image while I'm working on it, and then I can change the ppi back when I'm finished.<br>

Any better solutions would be much appreciated ;)<br>

Thanks!

Thanks for all your input...it's unfortunate that the feature doesn't actually work as I would use it all the time if it did.<br>

I find that as I look at an image at different magnifications while I am working on it that I'm never quite sure how much of the detail will be apparent in the print.<br>

At approx. 39% magnification on my monitor the image is print sized...I just wish there was a simple way to set that as a standard.

Hi,<br>

In Photoshop CS there is an option in the 'view' menu called 'print

size'. <br>When I choose this option I would imagine that my 4x6 inch

image would display on my screen at 4x6 inches, but it is much

smaller.<br>

Anyone know how to make this work?<br>

I'm running my monitor at 1600x1200 and the image is 300dpi.<br>

Thanks, <br>

Yes I noticed that it's a video camera ;)<br>

There are a few photos on this page that look like they were shot with that light setup...http://www.paulbuceta.com/main/sessionstailor.html<br>

And the photo I posted can be found under the -click here to see behind the scene pics- link on that page.<br>

I'm going to build one of these for a lark and see how I like it. I'm thinking ten 100 watt bulbs should put out a good amount of light, and I'll make it circular instead of square.<br>

Here's an example, check out the catchlights...www.mamimagazine.com<br>

Thanks!

It looks homemade, but I'm curious what this is called...<br>

I saw a similar setup using 4' flourescent tubes in a behind the scene

shot of a Britney Spears video...it also looked homemdade...<br>

I'm thinking that it would give you a ring flash style of light, and

it would be easy enough to make...anyone ever use something like this?<div></div>

It's big and heavy and a great lens...<br><br>

Focal Length & Maximum Aperture - 70-200mm 1:2.8<br>

Lens Construction - 23 elements in 18 groups<br>

Diagonal Angle of View - 34? - 12?<br>

Focus Adjustment - Inner focusing system with USM<br>

Closest Focusing Distance - 1.3m / 4.3 ft.<br>

Zoom System - Rotating Type<br>

Filter Size - 77mm<br>

Max. Diameter x Length, Weight - 3.4" x 7.8", 3.24 lbs. / 86.2mm x 197mm, 1470g<br>

I'm thinking that the process of upsizing is independant of the actual physical size that

you will be printing. In other words if you can up-res a small 1 meg file to %300 and you

are happy with the result, the same will be true when applied to a 100 meg file...<br>

There's a good amount of talk about this subject in the forums that can be found with the

search menu, and a lot of different opinions on how to do it and how far you can go with

the process. I think in the end it will be up to you whether the outcome is good enough to

be useable.

I'd have to guess that he means that in a shadey ( unfriendly ) environment it's becomes quite likely that someone will bonk you on the head and relieve you of your $$$ camera in a hurry ;)<br>

I was more curious about the candid photography comment, although I agree it's not exactly a subtle looking piece of gear...<br>

<br>

I've decided on the 1DmkII and will be picking it up ( hopefully ) this Friday. I just got the last minute yips and thought that it would be real nice to have double the pixels to print larger photos, but there's just too may things I like more about the 1DmkII to justify the extra cost of the 1DsmkII.<br>

And also, does stepping 'down' to a 1DmkII cross any major thresholds due to it having half the pixel count ?<br>

ie: can you shoot two page magazine spreads with the 1DmkII ?<br>

Just curious as I am deciding on my next camera...<br>

Would especially appreciate hearing from anyone in the advertising

business.<br>

Thanks !

Thanks again, great advice...<br>

I'd be happy to cut my own mattes and will look into a cutter.<br>

Appreciate your time ! <br>

S.

<i>Why 10x15? Is that the largest they make at your local lab, or did you already decide this was the matte size?</i><br>

10x15 is the largest I'm willing to go with the file sizes I have...they can print 12x18 max.<br>

I'm thinking that I'd like the image to reach the matte, and from what you're saying it sounds like all I need is an 1/8th" for the matte to overlap the print...<br>

So I want the image to be 9-3/4 x 14-3/4...not a problem !

<br>

Someone, not me, will custom cut the mattes and make the frames...but I'm curious if there are standard sizes that are 3x2 ratio around that size ?<br>

Thanks Mr. Zapped !

Hi ! <br>

I have some digital images that I'm going to have printed at 10x15

inches on the Noritsu at my local lab.<br>

As I know very little about matting and framing, the first question

is should I leave a border ( like 1/4" ) when I size the image so the

matte fits on top of the paper ? Or no border, or a larger one ?<br>

Second question is that in the print menu for PS CS I don't see a

paper size of 10x15 so is there a way to add that size to the menu ?

<br>

Thanks !

<i>What happens after one reaches the continuous shot limit ?</i><br>

The camera will stop taking pictures until at least one of the images is fully written to the card and the space is cleared from the buffer...<br>

next !

Right handed / left eye...and no idea why...<br>

I actually had to go pick up my camera before I answered , lol...<br>

There is a white balance tool in ACR. It is located in the upper left corner of the creen, under the little hand.<br>

Use it to click on anything in the image that is a neutral grey or white and the wb will be set automatically.<br>

This will of course work best if there is something in the image that is a neutral grey or white ;)<br>

Hi David, <br>

Here's the action I use to create b&w images ( attached ) and an explanation of how to use it is here - in the comments...<br>

http://www.photo.net/photo/1689180<br>

For grain I use a plugin called Grain Surgery 2. <br>

Cheers !

If you just want a quick way to do this, then you can use 'image-mode-greyscale' and then 'filter-noise-add noise' from the top menus.<br>

( note that I use Photoshop CS, but I believe the menus for these items are the same in Photoshop 6 )<br>There are many more ways that offer a lot more control of the tones and grain structure, either via plugins or layer adjustments.<br>

If you're interested I can go into more detail and also give you the photoshop action I use for creating b&w images.<br>

<br>S.

Flashlights ! A tripod, a dark room and 30 second exposures...<br>

And here's a link to Emils page for a little inspiration !<br>
