Gary, if you read carefully the dpreview test, you can see you get the 12 stops dr from tweaking the raw file in

ACR. That is, you can raise the blacks with Fill Light and get the extra 1-2 stops in highlights with the exposure

control and the Recovery slider, because the sensor has the detail recorded right there, and there's no noise

interference in shadows. That's what I have tested on my D700 and that's why talking about HDR on one shot, while

is not correct from a purist point of view, makes sense as a way of recovering all the information the sensor has

and can't be "developed" on a single tiff directly. Not a true HDR, not a direct dr recording, but feasible at

the end. I'm more interested in results than in concepts ;)

Photomatix does this on a single pass.

Hola, Marina

No entro mucho por aquí, cuando lo hago suelo repasar tu magnífico trabajo buscando las novedades. He entrado en

este post al ver el título. Creo que para cualquier persona creadora, hay profundos momentos de crisis, que

anticipan nuevas olas de creatividad. Supongo que como ya estamos en octubre, tu crisis se la habrá llevado el

verano...

De todas formas, quiero recomendarte las reflexiones de Brooks Jensen sobre la fotografía, el proceso creativo y mil

cosas más divertidas e interesantes de leer para cualquier fotógrafo. Hay dos libritos geniales, "Letting Go of

the

Camera" y "Single Exposures". En uno de ellos habla de su admiración por Joni Mitchell, que en cada disco era

capaz de renovarse e inventar algo nuevo, a costa incluso de descolocar a sus seguidores. Muchas veces, dice él,

los artistas se estancan en el estilo y el tema que les ha dado el éxito por miedo a que al explorar otros campos,

sus seguidores se vean defraudados. Jensen anima a perder el miedo a la innovación y a apartarse de los caminos

ordinarios, para hacer simplemente lo que queremos, lo que libremente nos apetece.<br>

I can confirm the extraordinary near 12 stops dynamic range from D700 after doing some tests on my NEF's. Maybe this is an argument for using HDR to manage this from a single RAW... Tests on the way :)

Listen, and let's remember those great artists and persons that have left us behind...and just be happy because we did share a part our life and creative moments with them.

Marina, greetings for Pop Photo article publication, book and all Photo net POW's. You deserve all because your images are truly moving. Best and take care ;)

I'm using GretagMacbeth EyeOne, good results. I can't compare with any other - is the first calibrator I use.

OK, thank you.

I mean set the zoom scale to 'actual pixels'

OK, it works. I must set the zoom scale at <actual pixels> and then cropping works ok.<br>

Fast answer.

Michael, I have tried your option but it changes the image scale/size because you must select a part of the image and then PS adjusts the image size. I don't want to change the image size, only cropping but keeping the same scale on image. I am not sure of being clear enough...

I must say I have been using Canvas size option to reduce canvas to an exact size but I don't find enough control about the final part of image that is going to be cropped.

I need to crop a scanned photo to an exact pixel size, length and

large. I can not change image size because I want to mount both

images on PS and I need to be exactly the same. I don't know if is

there a way of cropping an image on PS say to 800 px wide. Any help

appreciated.
