Does anyone use BigBlackBag for their website?
paula_goldman replied to paula_goldman's topic in Business of Photography
Thanks. They've always maintained that ticketing protocol, but also made their phone number available. Apparently their 3rd party email sever was down for 2 days, but they weren't communicating that with their clients. Disappointing. -
Yes, I know, I put them there out of habit. I use a Color Checker passport, but it's too small for these giant paintings. I made 3 different lighting profiles for my different setups (moved the camera), and was really surprised that they had very little effect when I was processing. I've learned I need to pay more attention to exposure...

I am afraid I know little about sensitometry...the channel histograms are for the white patch? Is the red channel significantly shifted because my umbrellas skew red? I underexposed to maintain detail in the center fluorescing area. I think I would try to light it differently next time. So this is probably the source of my issue? You say "first major issue"....do you see another??

Thanks, John. The painting is a trapezoid! And the band in the center (vertical stripe) is caused by a difference in the fluorescing material. I've never looked at a hue map; is this specifically for viewing color shifts? This was really hard to make it appear like it does to your eyes. That's why I chose to light it for the center and underexpose the rest. I guess the weird color is from grossly underexposing the rest of the scene in order to capture the fluorescent center. So glad I don't do this on film anymore...

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this. The area in the center is coated with a fluorescent material that only reacts with a pretty direct light, so I planned to adjust the flat white side panels digitally. Thanks for the reassurance. I will get my screens recalibrated and keep going. I appreciate your help.

Thanks. This makes me feel a bit less worried. Though there may be a lighting issue, since there are some magenta streaks around where my umbrellas were hottest. Re: your afterthought, I think exposure is involved but it’s confusing. The most affected areas are pure white with almost no texture, but they’ve been underexposed in camera by about 2 stops, because other areas are a very reflective material that I didn’t want to blast completely out. Fun. I will post a better image on Monday. Thank you so much!

It does look a little like posterization ... I am away from my computer for the weekend, will check the ratios on Monday. Should I check the mauve areas vs the green? I do not know as much about color management as I should. I have looked on my other monitor, that was one of my first thoughts. The odd magenta and greenish areas are still there. What I posted was a screenshot png, from a 300 percent enlargement of the dng in camera raw. It’s like the base is green, and any image detail is that mauve color. When I re-did the white balance after my original post, it got better but still there. Thanks so much.

Hi, I've never had this happen. This is a screenshot of a white painting on a white wall from Photoshop at 200 percent. A little mixed lighting, but had this on a strobe-only (white umbrellas) image too. Nikon D610, Legacy 55mm lens I've used forever, SanDisk card, processed with ACR in CS6, Mac Any ideas of what happened? Color issues on painting and wall. Any ideas how to fix it? Cannot reshoot. I've spent all day with magenta and green adjustment layers, going nearly pixel by pixel Thanks

best postcard manufacturer?

<p>I have used Modern Postcard out of Carlsbad, CA for years.<br> ModernPostcard.com<br> I think their shortest run is 250, but they may have started a division that does smaller amounts.<br> Not much variety in paper stock, but good quality and very customizable.</p> -

<p>It's just a shame the metadata gets deleted. What could be facebook's reasoning? Is it to minimize file size?</p> -

<p>Good idea, Michael. I naively thought that the metadata stuck, and that if it ended up in front of an art director or publisher, they'd have a way to contact me.</p> -

<p>Thanks, Matt. It was a photo for a book jacket, not anything I could put a watermark on.</p>
