<p>googling 'watermark android app' pulled up several of them, some claim to be developed with instagram and facebook in mind. And not everything is in the google store, sometimes check the site of the developer, even if it shows up on iTunes during an internet search you might find the download of other version on the developer site. iWatermark for example covers different versions (which can be a good thing if you will find yourself using different OSs on phones, tablets etc)... AddWatermark would let you superimpose a watermark file, pick anchor points, opacity etc and can share watermarked files in batch... in addition to that you can use it to resize pics. But there are many others...<br> Like for every app you need to try several to find the one that fits your needs best<br> Alternatively you and place the watermark always in the same position there is such a thing as "canvas and drawables" of which several scripts for watermarking are floating on the net, with that android will place the watermark natively on the picture and you can use a script manager like Tasker to invoke the script when certain conditions are met. That obviously makes sense if you will run other custom scripts rather than loading a bunch of apps for different things, otherwise its still one extra app for one result</p>

<p>Practice as much as possible, independently from the results and technique that will come with time you will learn to see things like the camera does. Look at your pictures and even if they seem plain try to crop them, reframe them to pick up interesting details... and remember that rules are more guidelines than anything else, dont get too crazy with those or you will spoil the fun.<br> Ps: even stuff about drawing and painting and illustations and comic books can teach you a lot about framing and composition</p>

<p>there are many and it depends on the prints you will have, and color of ink you want, Slick Writers offer some color choices and dries right away, Signo is a white ink that ive seen used on glossy paper without skipping, but you need to allow a smidge to dry, Rapidograp are also good, then you have many metallic (silver, gold, copper) bottles of ink that can be used with a calligraphy tip.<br> And if you really want to go fancy you can use a Goldriter ;)<br> <br /> Probably its easier to go to an art store (not the big ones, but the real good ones where the staff knows the products they sell) and look for an acid free, PAT approved pen rather than ask for a specific one that they might not carry.<br /> PS: stay away from Sharpies</p>

<p>Your browser will read a profile embedded in the picture then "interpret" it to match it the colour profile of your monitor to give you a visible image as true as possible, non tagged images (most of the web) is taken as sRGB by default, other elements of a webpage will bypass the browser settings entirely (like Flash and Java), thats in theory...<br /> In practice all the browsers will behave in a slightly different way so results are not the same for all... and the problem can be in reading the embedded profile (if theres one), or in the conversion to the monitor profile, or in respecting the monitor profile for the output.<br /> IE now is color managed (since IE9) but rather badly since it seems to not care about the color profile of the monitor when it sends to it, it will read the embedded profile correctly and... then assume your monitor color space is sRGB and convert to that :(<br /> Other browsers do a much better work of it but some will let you tweak their settings better than others: Chrome isnt that great in the way it manages some monitors color profile and doesnt support all of them either... Firefox seems to handle things better than the rest giving better color management right as it is, and more possibility (and ease) to tweak things if necessary.<br /> Essentially it comes down to the performance of the whole thing, while in the past the system was ok now with changes of hardware we use it needs to be improved. I think performance is also the reason IE does the work half way and then output everything in sRGB...<br /> The way i see it is that, as it is now, you pick the colours of your walls from the manufacturer swatches, every home depot employee will interpret the formula to get to that color in its own way, so that at the end the paint in the can you buy will never be always the same and at the end every wall will dry the paint to a slightly different tonality...<br /> PS: OS can be a problem too, while OS like Windows now says its "colour aware" in reality there are mixed results: some apps will manage colors others wont be able to or will not care about it. So you set your monitor profile and the pictures show properly but when you browse folders you find thumbnails with the wrong colors (but the corresponding picture displays correctly because the viewer manages the color), desktops arent displayed properly, spreadsheets are impossible to look at etc... ask MS and they tell you its the video card... mah...</p> <p>Edit: Now that you did that on chrome it will browse assuming all page contents are sRGB. You might have to change also for the other ways to launch Chrome (in case you would check for image changes and not see difference clear the cache)</p>

<blockquote> <p>I have seen, on a reverse mounted lens, a DIY (do it yourself) electrical connection.</p> </blockquote> <p>Not only DIY, they also sell the reverse rings that bring the contacts around... expensive for what they are...</p> <p>Anyways for macro vs extension tubes<br>

<p>Lex, the idea would be not cutting part of the spectrum but bringing back all the levels to a balance... however one wants to put it, after all when the WB is set to balance the tungsten it will boost the blue channel... and thats noisy, so why not with a filter...<br> I had the impression we are talking about tungsten not fluorescent or metal halide...<br> I disagree that filters shouldn't be used in digital but for specialized kind of photography... but i suppose this is a totally different subject from the OP question and the beauty of this is that anyone can do it the way they prefer... just my opinion<br> Jeff, i never said to slap a filter on the lens and shoot with all sort of different lights you can bring on location... if he had said filter then i was gonna say to use it increasing the tungsten and set the camera for daylight, its not just a simple shift... (and i am aware he isnt shooting film, btw)<br> At the end it all boils down to "keep the same light" anyways</p>
