Andy if you notice at the end of the post there are links to 3 other posts all related to various methods of creating this mask.

gradient is one of them, threshold and levels are others.

I've uploaded a Photoshop tutorial on how to achieve an HDR image using layer

masks, so it might be interesting for anyone who doesn't have CS2.

Why do you want faster speed? that is the question.

If it is to be able to hand held the shot, than IS will do great even better than 24-70 at 2.8. but if you need a fast shutter to freeze the moment/action then the 2.8 is a plus for sure.

 

I've read about every thread on this subject on the net and came up with a summary of pros/cons of each. the full summary can be found at

But ACR is only if you shoot RAW, this action is pretty nice for ppl who shoot JPG

There is finally a photoshop action that will automatically correct the white

balance of a picture, Chip Springer (its author) called it the digital grey card.

looks neat.<br>

I have a canon 30D with grip and about to buy the 100 400 L of canon, what is

the cheapes monopod that will go for this combo?

 

BTW I already have a manfrotto tripod and head so i prefer to be able to use the

current head than having to buy one again

Nice shot I like the compo

Another tutorial about a Dragan like approach can be found

My main problem with layer masks is that how acurate I am selecting the skin/people that's why I'm fund of this action.

 

Never saw radiantvista tutorials tho, thanks for the help

Well mario simply to save money

I am about to buy the 70-200L 2.8 IS and I want more reach than 200. I read a

lot of good reviews about the "cheap" tamron so I was thinking of buying both

the 1.4x and 2.0x tamron instead of the 1.4x canon is it a bad idea? too much

compromise in IQ?

thanks

But Weiyang as far as I know, Canon don't apply any NR on the RAW data. isn't it true?

I am sorry Jamie, I won't be able to give you such details i'm not the one who conducted the study, however the link to the original thread can be found in the bottom of the post. But John (the user who posted this news) is really knowledgeable and has a very good reputation

One of the first things I learned in photography is that a lower ISO means less

noise. And after 4 years I was proven wrong.

If you own a 30D/5D I'm think this might interest you

My $80 lens (the 50mm 1.8 MKII) is sharper than my 24-70L f/2.8 till f/4 (and i

mean SHARPER)

1) is this normal?

2) could it be my 24-70 is a lemon?

 

thanks
