    Dim Light or Bright Light

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    Thanks to both for your responses. So, what you're saying is that it, the brightness ratio, doesn't have to be exact. Instead, just get set the light to a level that feels comfortable for reading and set the brightness of the monitor to about the same level. I'm not sure if I trust my judgement of "comfortable" brightness, but I'll give it a go. Any other insights and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!

    Apple Cinema Display Connection to Dell PC

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    Guys,

     

    Thank you! After a few hours of unnecessary fretting and searching. I decided to just stick the apple dvi cable into the pc port and it fits like hand in glove. I was thrown off by the difference in appearance of the cable and pc ports. I guess one can't be sure before trying.

     

    Anyhow, now I have a secondary problem. Now that the Apple display is up and running, the old Dell monitor now doesn't display anymore. It's connected to the pc via vga cable. That monitor does have a dvi port, so I guess I should try to get a dvi/vga connector for it. Do you know whether this would resolve it?

     

    BTW Patrick, the Apple Cinema Display looks great! It's bright and yet it isn't harsh on my eyes the way the Dell is.

    Dennis,

     

    I'll send you my email address in a few days. I'm leaving town for a weekend trip.

     

    James, I do the same as well and will view your web page when I get back.

     

    OK, got to pack and go. I'll post again in a little while.

    Hello Dennis,

     

    Thanks for joining this thread! I'd be happy to make some suggestions regarding places to explore. Our itineraries are fairly similar. Will this be your first time in Beijing or have you gone there before?

     

    This is my website: www.juunhwaea.com

     

    It hasn't been updated in a few years, but it contains images from my first trip to Beijing and some pictures I took around New York when I was taking some courses.

     

    Cheers!

    Hello,

     

    I'm gonna be in Beijing during the month of August for the Olympics. I'm interested to meet other photographers who

    will be there or in the vicinity. It'll be fun to share some comraderie and some images. I've gone there four times in the

    last four years and can speak Mandarin well enough to get by.

     

    Look forward to meeting you.

    Image Size and DNG Conversion Error(?)

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    Hello all,

     

    I converted some RAW files into DNG files, edited the images as RAW files using

    Photoshop 8.0, and then saved them as TIFF files. I've worked on very many

    pictures before I realized that the image size was at 240 ppi rather than 96,

    and width and height have been inversely reduced. Where did I make the mistake

    and how do I correct the files I would work on from this point on? (I believe

    that it was at the DNG conversion level.) Secondly, what is the most expedient

    way to change the image size of the documents I've already edited? Is there a

    way to do this without having to redo the RAW editing in Photoshop? I hate to

    think that I've wasted all that time I spent on them the first time. Thank you

    for your aid.

    Color Management and Printing Trouble-Shoot

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    I can't seem to get a "what you see is what you get" print. I use Eye 1 Match 3

    to calibrate my lcd monitor. I light my workspace at about 5500 Kelvin. I also

    use Colorbyte's Image Print to print to my Epson Stylus 2200 printer. (I have

    run nozzle checks to confirm that the ink dispenser is clear). My prints still

    don't look like what I see on screen; they are darker and some what more red.

    What is wrong? I believe that my monitor, a Dell 2005FPW lcd, is sub par for

    advance photo editing needs, BUT IS THAT REALLY THE PROBLEM? Any insight would

    be appreciated. Thanks!

    Storing RAW files on a Gigabeat

    in Mirrorless Digital Cameras

    Charles, I appreciate you doing a the Google search. I've been raking the internet for information. I've even called Canon and Toshiba. What I learned is that it does allow the direct of files, including RAW, direct from camera to the PVD. However, it only list the Digital Rebel among Canon's SLR. Furthermore, you can't preview the RAW files, but I'm not concerned about that. I just want to store it. The question is can the 10D function compatibly with it as well. I think it can because the 10D and DRebel are similar, but I'm not certain.

     

    I've done quite a bit of searching before posting the question here.
