cordek posted a topic in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing
Shooting Canon 14mm/5d mkiii, HDR 7x, RAW: When in post, I found that green diamonds in the backsplash turned brown. Any suggestions? I tried to extract and change colors without success. Thanks to all for thoughts and suggestions -
<p>I shot a residential room last week and the dark hardwood floor was washed out from a hot sun and treated windows. Instead of mahogany, the wood came out a tad lighter. Using LR5/PSCC, I still was unable to bring the floor color up to an acceptable view.</p> <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I am seeking a reliable, easy-to-use motorized pano head for real estate application, using my 5dmkII. I bought a MH160 and found it herky-jerky and not smooth, and the slow speed is really fast. Does anyone have a suggestion. I looked at gigapan and find that is an over-kill. Otherwise, Im back to square one using a ninja nodal.</p>

LEXAR CARDS Failure
cordek replied to cordek's topic in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing
<p>Well, here is what has happened since....<br> Lexar had me format the card in my PC, then the card reader, and then in the camera. Whew!<br> I'm really at a loss now: do I trust Lexar when money is riding on the results? I have 22 Lexar cards and am very nervous. Although I don't do weddings (thank goodness), I am shooting for $$$ and have purchased two Extreme pro cards that Im using as my primary. To go through the formatting thing that Lexar had me do, tells me there is a lack of confidence by Lexar......I wonder if Lexar has gone too fast to gain the edge with speed, and forgot about quality.....Never had an issue before I went to 1066x. Going to return that card.. Cannot trust it.</p> -
LEXAR CARDS Failure
cordek replied to cordek's topic in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing
<p>Well, unfortunately, time is my enemy this week. I purchased the Lexar reader and should get it tomorrow. In the meantime, I also, and paid through the nose, purchased two SanDisk 32GB cards from the local shop. And, I formatted them in both cameras as I have two shoots tomorrow and three by the week's end.<br> So, although I would have liked to load directly from the camera to PC, I had already wiped them clean and re-formatted. In my shoot today, the images proved OK. It was a series of portraits and the color/composition and all was ok. Tomorrow is a re-shoot of last week, so we'll see what the verdict is. Maybe the problem came from HDR 3x and 7x shooting???? Maybe the reader could not keep up with 7 images/sec?????<br> The issue really is, do I trust Lexar in the future. Thank goodness I don't shoot weddings! Thanks to all for responses. Pretty damn smart people on Photo.net!</p> -
LEXAR CARDS Failure

<p>This is the response today from Lexar support. I am going to follow their advice and post my results. I did not realize UDMA 7 was so sensitive. I did format in camera, but that may not have been the real answer:<br> Thank you for contacting Lexar. We spoke yesterday about your UDMA 7 cards. I have reviewed the picture and have ascertained that yes this is a major side effect of corruption. Basically as I explained yesterday because you<br />used a non UDMA 7 compatible card reader, (an insignia 3.0 reader) the card reader could not keep up with the speed of the card and it forced corruption on the card. The corruption is present until fixed. The only way to fix said corruption since the cards are still working is to obtain a UDMA 7 compatible card reader and do a "Secure Format" using our Image Rescue 5 software. If you feel as though you don't trust the cards due to this reason. We can replace all your UDMA 7 cards for you, however you will still need to get a UDMA 7 card reader or you will have the same issue as before.<br> I understand that this picture was uploaded using the camera and not the reader which can bypass that for a short time but copy speeds from camera to computer are not consistent enough for a business. So from this point it is<br />how you want to proceed. We can have you do Secure Format using Image Rescue software to fix said corruption while using a UDMA 7 card reader. Or we can replace them all but you still need the UDMA 7 card reader.<br> If you have further questions, please contact our technical support department.

LEXAR CARDS Failure
cordek replied to cordek's topic in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing
<p>Wouter, you may be right. However, I found Lexar support less than acceptable. I had to drive 200 miles to re-shoot and there was no explanation or suggestion from Lexar about this condition. Just "go buy a new reader and email us and we'll see what we can do" How un-responsive can it be? I tried each card on two separate 3.0 readers PLUS my Dell 3.0 built in reader with the same results. I also thought of the camera except the 5DMkii is only 1.5 years old and the 7DMkii is only 1 month old. And, like you said, the odds that the same issue running on two different configurations is unbelievable. Yesterday one card <strong>completely</strong> failed and I lost ALL images. So, now I have to re-shoot tomorrow. Thank goodness it was not a wedding! OUCH!<br> I am very nervous as I have 4 shoots coming up this week, plus my make-good. So, I'm a little frustrated. :)<br> Thanks for your thoughts</p> -

<p>PS: Check my workspace to view image under Lexar failure. At first it was horiz now its vertical.</p> -
<p>I shot a home yesterday and one of my Lexar cards failed completely! Today, I ran out and re-did the property using: 1/7DMkII with 32gb/800x, 11-17 Tamron and 5DmkII w/32gb 1000x 17-40L Canon. <strong>BOTH cards failed.</strong> In both cases an intermittent line and poor exposure was seen near the middle of the cards BOTH! BOTH! Kind of like a double exposure on half of the cards .I normally would have checked it off if just one failed. BUT now, I am nervous of my 20 cards LEXAR that I have. So, I am going to switch to Scandisc immediately and slowly phase out the Lexar cards. I am doing 3x and 7x HDR shooting.<br> has anyone else seen this issue. BTW: Lexar support is worthless. <strong>They said I need to buy a new card reader.....STUPID!</strong><br> <strong>Help, please. I am asking as I may be incorrect in my assessment.</strong><br> Thanks<br> Ron C</p>

I'm using HDR 7 stacking of images on informatix and getting insufficient memory notices. So, in upgrading my PC I am. Looking at 4th gen i7 intel chip with 4gb in vids graphics and 24gb ram. I really have no idea what I'm doing so please offer suggestions. Using pscc, lr5, informatix, and ptgui pro. I'm stacking 7 images in HDR informatix Thanks

<p>I am really in a fix and desperately need guidance. I've been making panos using ptgui pro for quite some time and now I am in a crunch to learn and place a <strong>360 spherical and or cylindrical pano on my ipad and my client's website that is easy to use and work with</strong>. All that I have looked at are <strong>extremely confusing to someone who knows zilch about coding.</strong> Maybe there is not an answer. If so, Ill have to use a third party coder. But, if I can do it, Id rather do it. Thansk for any guidance. PS: I am not code or teckie smart, so please keep this in mind. Simple, simple, simple is the word of the day.</p> <p>I will be deeply grateful for your thoughts. Thanks</p>

<p>Actually processing 3 is good. Not done 5 or 7. Trying to understand how to set cameras to shoot 5/7</p>
-
<p>Using PTGUI PRO and photomatix. 3 gives pretty good images, but for shooting a room or inside a building 5 or 7 would produce more dynamic lighting without blowing out windows. Also LR5/PSCC</p>

<p>I'm using 20D/40D and 5DmkII bodies and am trying to shoot 5 and 7 image HDR shots. I have been trying and trying without success.<br> If anyone knows how to do this or has links that I can read and use, I would really appreciate your help</p> <p>Thanks</p>

<p>I am seeking guidance for video camera and lighting equipment for wedding usage. Been doing stills and now see the obvious. I want to use this equipment as an adjunct to my 5D bodies. I do not want to use my canon bodies for video use. My target audience usually pay $1k + in this very slow Oregon market. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks</p>

<p>I need to complete a product shot with the product appearing "ghostly" in the air. In other words, it cannot appear to be on the table, show strings/wires but must show shadows. Background around the product is white. I've never done this and I've been frustrated in my attempts to do this for the past few days. Anyone help/guidance?</p> <p>Thanks</p>
