You are right, Jorge. The future is tough, if you want to earn a living. But the image quality is truly remarkable... Merry Christmas! Boris

When I first discovered this group quite a few years ago, the new ways of understanding the Photoshop and mastering it opened to me. The quality of the discussions on this forum is second to none and

I learned not to trust ANY e-mail, inspect them all carefully before opening. Last week there were two from "DHL" reminding to pay them $4.95 for delivery. This morning there was an offer of "fantasti

On the last two vacation group tours, to India and Morocco, I think I was one of the two, perhaps one of the three at the most, who used a DSLR (a now old Nikon D5300 with an even older 18-200 zoom).

Yes, it does affect photoshop work. I ordered new glasses recently and, without thinking, agreed to the blue filter. The screen acquired a slight yellow tint. So, I use my old glasses, without a filte

I’ve been out of country, saw the thread just now and would like to respond to one statement by Henry Davis: “Legal protection, copyrights etc., that's a must for big-time players but that's not much

Reading the referenced article, at https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/2/15/18226005/ai-generated-fake-people-portraits-thispersondoesnotexist-stylegan immediately reminded of Dan's post. It is both Ba

Thank you, John, I am acting on the assumption that every roll of film and its development creates a slightly different variation of the orange mask. Even if it is wrong and, e.g. Kodak 100 ASA develo

I’d like to share with the group how the problem was solved. As Bob Smith noted, “having an optimum capture from the start helps”. Unfortunately, I could not devise a way to produce that “optimum capt

Jim, Thank you very much for the comment. The old films are mostly family photos. I don’t doubt that almost any professional lab will do a better job, but it’s an expensive proposition given the large

Thank you very much Bob Smith, John Castronovo, and Ken Harris. I learned a lot from you. Filtration during capture is a good idea. However, I remember using Kodak, Agfa, Fuji, and other brands and no

Ken, thank you very much for your comments. I think the problem is summarised in your opening paragraph: “...any wonkiness baked into the data before you attempt the expansion will doom the process...

The image, file name <015_D800.jpg> is in the folder <1979_negative>. It is a 35mm Kodak 5035 negative film. It was copied with the Nikon D800 camera, with a Nikon Speedlight strobe as a light source.

I read Colortheory as often as I can and try to learn what I can but alas have little to contribute. Since the Russian happens to be my first language, I'd like to correct - with utmost respect - Vlad

Hector, I do not think the OS was installed "on top" of old programs. It was re-installation for a "recovery disk", true, but there were no error messages when installing CS2 or any other programs. Th

Hector, Thank you for your reply. I guess, I am a little confused. Before the OS was reinstalled several weeks ago, PS CS2 ran without a problem on the same machine with the same OS. Before that, I ha

Strictly speaking this is not a color related issue, butgiven that fact that the group has a couple thousand years of collectiveexperience, I hope someone will recognize the symptoms. This is an older

This year-old article which just landed in my in-box explores another side of dumbing down photography as medium: https://petapixel.com/2016/05/31/opinion-disturbing-trend-photography/ Boris Feldblyum

Dan, Thank you very much for taking the time to write this. You are right in your observations, of course. The trivialization and devaluation of photography is real and goes beyond travel. Those of us

Greetings to all! I could not figure out how to upload the file into "Photos" so the image is at http://www.bfcollection.net/images/20140520121-126pptc_7950_Jones_Branch_Gannett.jpg http://www.bfcolle
