Thanks Sandy. I was charged for a premium account, though I have never seen an indication that I have one. If I don't, I would like my credit card credited. If I do have a premium account, I want to remove auto renew for next year.

Has anyone had any success contacting admin? I have been charged for a service I don't want and don't have. The contact page on the site takes me to a blank page and I have tried emailing contact@photo.net. There is also no messaging system on the FB page.

Me too

Same problem. Uploads not showing. The whole page is glitchy and slow. And when I click on "portfolio", it goes to another photog's page.

To everyone who contributed to this thread, I actually found out quite a few details. I messaged the photographer and got some great responses. He even posted some editing on instagram. So it is a composite, but you have all given me great info to try to get a similar feel with one shot.

Thank you to everyone.

Thank you Bill. I actually went back to their Facebook page and it looks like it is much more filled in than last time I visited. I messaged them. It looks like they do a lot of green screen work, so probably a composite as suspected. Though I will try to do something old school...one shot.

I never thought this would generate such a discussion. I did try to find the photog on Facebook. Though there is an account, there is no website and only one photo. Basically, the page consists of a bunch of quotes from satisfied clients. I would much rather shoot this as a single shot. Hopefully I can achieve the look with that. You guys have pointed out quite a few flaws in the image that I hope to avoid. My main objective is to try to capture the very unstructured, high contrast,moody, ragamuffin, almost album cover look (Those are the only words I can think to describe what I am seeing). And I don't want to have to battle the shadows that players may cast on each other. I am hoping to achieve it with 2 speedlites (One at each end) and using the built in flash at a fairly low setting to trigger the speedlites and provide some fill for the centre players. Also shooting late afternoon, early evening. Then some editing focusing on contrast, some dodge/burn for details. What do you think?

Thank you Bob! I think you have taken care of some of the issues I might face with your response. Great info. Now I need to put this thing together!

Thanks Bob and William. The individuals I can see the lighting pretty easily. I was most interested in the feel of the group shot. So, you guys don't think there is any light behind bringing them off the bg and making the equipment pop?

Thank you William...I see that heavy burn on the boys arm. Strange that there is no such thing on the boy to his right. Looks then that the heavy definition is in post editing?

Thanks for the responses. I spoke with another photog friend of mine who suggested at least 3 flashes to really define the kids, the gear etc. This helps...should be a fun project. Thanks!

I saw this banner example come up in an MPIX ad, the LINK is here. I tried finding the photog with not much luck.

My question...Is this a composite shot or a single shot? It is hard for me to tell with the angle and size. I absolutely love the quality here and would like to create a shot with a similar feel.

Thanks!

<p>Resolved!<br />Andrew, I just got Adobe to access the computer remotely and it was so simple. Under the Camera Raw preferences, they unchecked the box for graphics processor (bottom of the attached image)<br />Voila! Fixed! Thanks for your time, Andrew.</p><div></div>

<p>All raw images look like this. I have been using CS4 for years. The converter and camera raw worked fine. No problems at all. It is just this version that seems to be glitching.</p>

<p>I have no calibration software. I can change settings through windows, but not sure if that would help.<br />I haven't been able to find help on the adobe community page either, so I came here.<br />I appreciate the correspondence. <br />Could it be a converter problem?</p>

<p>Sorry if this sounds ignorant Andrew, but where do I see the software preferences?</p>

<p>Thank you Andrew. The alt key/slider didn't do anything. How would I begin to address the other issues you mentioned? I did check color settings and I changed it to Adobe RGB as that is what I have used in the past.<br />Nothing changed on RAW though.</p>

<p>Thank you Howard. And how would I address that issue?</p>

<p>I am not sure if this is a color space, calibration or convertor issue.<br />I just installed photoshop CC with camera raw 9.8. When I open the image in RAW, the image is unreadable.<br />Mostly black with extreme vivid coloured highlights<br />It is fine when I open it in CC, but I can't do any edits in RAW. The same is true whether opened as a NEF or a converted DNG.<img src="/photo/18338339&size=lg" alt="" /><br /> Can anyone help resolve this? <br />Thanks in advance.</p><div></div>

<p>Works for me...Firefox.<br />Thank you!</p>

<p>I have the same response with Firefox.</p>

<p>I think we have IE 11.<br />I clicked on the gear icon and the IE 11 box showed up.<br />If you go to my page, you can see the way HTML 5 loaded my images.<br />Here is the folder ID<br />http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=1064926</p>

<p>Somewhat off topic, but i think relevant:<br />I used IE to do a bulk upload, but in the final folder, all the thumbnails are blurry and when I click on an image, it comes up very tiny...<br />Glitch?</p>

<p>Thanks Lex.<br />So, I guess the best thing to do is to sit and wait until the glitch is resolved.<br />I have Firefox. I guess I can also try using IE.</p>

 

<p>I cannot get the batch uploader to work at all.<br />Any idea what the problem might be?</p>
