Even if the Adobe RGB profile was attached the only web browser that would have rendered it properly to my knowledge is Safari. sRGB conversion is essential for web work.

How did this thread get hijacked into a PC vs. Mac thread? Can't we just accept that some of us use Macs and others use PCs and not try to evangelize the other side into conversion every time we...
Patrick,
The only way for you to know if you like it is to try it. See if a local college has an LF course. That might be a good way to try, however, the tuition may be the cost of a basic...
I work with files from most of the popular pro-level dSLRs on a day to day basis. I have found that 5D files are cleaner than 1DSMkII and D2X files. I suspect this is because they are from a chip...
We usually don't get violent unless our team loses the Stanley Cup (Vancouver 1994) or if our team wins the Stanley Cup the year after the franchise has been re-located to a US market (Quebec City...
From what I've read, the Huey is the worst of them all. But it is better than nothing.
I bought the Spyder2express for my stepdad. It is software limited, gives you no choices, and therefore...
We bought the widescreen CE Eizo's at work (2 of them, non-sequential serial numbers) just as they came out and found they varied gradually at least 10% or so across the screen. Left side was cooler...
From my bedroom balcony. Graphic View II, 210mm Symmar convertible, TMAX 100.
How about the the Graphic View I and Graphic View II.
Seems that the printheads accomodate only 5 inks. Most serious photo printers out there use at least 6 and as many as 12. As a result I figure that the gamut is likely not as wide as a decent...
Don,
I'm amazed that you got your 4 year old to keep still enough to pose for your view camera. My 4 year old won't stay still for my dSLR!
I'd like to come too. I'll be working in Richmond until about 5:30 or so I might not get there right at 6. But I could probably get there for 6:30-45.
Sound OK?
I love Lightroom. And yes I use it with my dSLR. I've used Aperture, Capture One, Bibble & the Adobe Bridge/Photoshop combo. Personally I find that Lighroom is the most intuitive RAW converter that...
Adrian,
The bigger the sensor the more it costs to make and the less units one can make per wafer. This is why a 2+ year old Canon D1s Mark II still sells for $7,000+ and why all the MF backs cost...
At work we ship back and forth between Vancouver and the US using UPS, however, we use a 3rd party customs broker so that we don't get soaked by UPS. Personally I no longer have any personal items...
Capocheny,
In terms of B&W it breaks down like this...
8 bit B&W has 256 levels of grey (including black and white) which is about what the human eye and brain can work out. 16 bit B&W has a...
Henry,
I've been shooting quite a bit for my day job (Annual Report season you know) but alas no LF work.

DL
Henry,
I'm assuming the Lynn Headwaters pic is from Per's workshop?
I agree with those who view cameras as tools. I am not an LF snob and use which ever format I think might get the image I want to make done.
I like the process of using a view camera. I love the...
I did not get one because I don't like shooting that wide. If the deal was on a 210mm then I'd jump at it for sure.
LOL I thought you were going to reduce the types of film you use in the new year. :)

Kirk,
I have shot tethered with Lightroom before. It involved using Nikon's tethered software (Camera Control Pro) to automatically save to a watched folder in Lightroom. It would take a couple of...
Andrew, if I had a darkroom then I'd print in it. However, my current domestic situation (both socio-political and physical) does not permit for one. I might be able to get away with some contact...
Not printing what I shoot. I'll shoot some images, get them into the computer then fiddle with them endlessly until I lose interest in them... and never print them.
OK,
I'll finally bite. The first three I took during Per's Vancouver workshop (HP5+). The last one is the view from my bedroom balcony. Shot the week before the workshop (T-Max 100). I should have...
Ralph,
There is an informative entry on Christmas lights at the Strobist 'blog. It was made Dec 13 so you need to scroll down the page a little.

I live in a fairly narrow row-style townhouse so big art does not function that well. That said, I have one large painting that was a gift from a friend. I also have one 8x10 print from an Adams 8x10...
David,
Apple's Aperature does exactly that. One of it's workspaces is even called the light table.
5:30 will be tough for me to make. Keep me in mind I would definately like to stay in touch with you folk.

Unfortunately no LF pictures since the workshop. With my wife in rehearsals for an upcoming play and us both working full time it's been hard for me to ditch the Dad duties and get out of the house...
Jeeez Andrew, and I thought we'd be having a party in your darkroom. :-)
Regards,
Dominique
Mike,
I think you are spot on. $1000 will but alot of custom profiles. Some good services have been suggested already. You may want to consider Chromix and their ColorValet service as well. No...
Henry,
turbidity = dirt
I'm with Deniz. It can't be helpful to be washing film or prints in water with 3 to 4 times normal dirt levels.
I wonder what the Vancouver area commercial labs are...
Deniz,
Why not hit up Andrew? His house is working off the Coquitlam reservoir which is alot cleaner than the Seymour and Capilano reservoirs?
David,
Here is a tutorial that hopefully will clarify the answer for you...

Ron,
The best thing to do is to make your own light modifiers. See the following pdf booklet

Henry,
The 30" ACD is a huge and beautiful disaplay, but if you want that kind of real estate twin 20" ACDs are a much more cost effective solution. It would be fairly easy to match them colour...
Marko,
Just to be certain are you talking about the MacBookPro (notebook) or the MacPro (tower)?
Henry,
The MacPro (tower) is definitely a more capable machine than the iMac. I would have bought...
Well Henry I went ahead and purchased a new 20" Core 2 Duo iMac (I was going to anyways, my 15" flat panel iMac was getting very long-in-the-tooth) and after getting the thing running smoothly I...
Yes please. I would like to see!
