Thanks for clearing a few things up for me.

I think for starters I'm going to go with the Cokin P series holder and try out the HI-tech graduated ND filter. That is the main filter I wanted to try...

Thanks for all the posts!!

I'm almost more confused than before, I will have to take a minute to soak all this information in...

So many seem to think Lee is a better choice than Cokin?
...

I'm looking at buying a new filter system, and I'm wondering what a good all around system would be for my 4x5 crown and would work on my DSLR?

I was looking at the Cokin P series, any thoughts?

Thanks guys,

I've seen this phrase used when photographers list details on images they post online, was curious what they meant.

I think Daniel might have the answer...

What does that mean, double processed raw file?

Thanks,

Thanks for all the tips everyone, I have some things to read and test out.

I'm using PS CS3, so I will have to look at using the shadow/highlight tool and see what that does.

I'm still new with...

I absolutely agree with you Kirk, someone with his passion and desire to explore and understand would have definitely pushed the limits of digital photography...

No doubt about that!! I did a portfolio project for a Christmas present on the new Canon Pro9000 I bought and I probably spent $250 in ink alone!!

by the way my Pro9000 works pretty good for a...

My classic crown has a bit of an issue, and I'm wondering if anyone on this board might have some ideas or possibly parts I could buy to fix it.

The hinge on one of the rails is broken so its just...

Does this camera fit well for my purpose, backpacking and traveling? I'm just concerned on the sturdiness of the camera...

I see the price of this camera has gone up considerably, they are almost $900 now from B&H... :(

Gracias!!

I'm still a newbie with the movements, and I don't believe my current Crown Graphics has any rear movements, which has not been a problem for me yet.

I really dig the idea of it being...

I might be interested in this cf, pm me details please.

Thanks

I was looking at buying a new 4x5 since my Crown is facing some issues right now.
I saw the toyo 45cf and was interested in the light-weight and reasonable price, wondering if anyone has one or has...

I'm looking at the Feisol tripods, but I'm wondering what...

I have been in the Arches area several times in spring/early summer, they have always been wonderful trips. I will say if you get into late May/June the mid-day temps start getting pretty serious. I...

That would be correct. I have 3 internal hard drives, and one large external hard drive for backup purposes. I have photoshop installed on local c:, and the scratch file is on e: which is another...

If necessary I will postpone my trip until later June, I'm just concerned with how busy the park will get into the summer, anybody know how busy it gets?
I do plan to take many hikes so maybe that...

So I've been debating changing my travel plans from Rocky Mtn. park to the maroon bells wilderness area.

Any suggestions on shooting in this area? Good times of year, good hiking trails, must see...

thanks again guys.

Sounds like I was mislead to believe that because the histogram shows the comb effect that it means there is posterization in the image. Posterization is really a visual...

Sounds like I shouldn't spend much time worrying about the histogram as long as the image looks fine visually...

Thanks guys

What are the best ways to avoid posterization when working with your images in photoshop?

I'm working in 16 bit, using adjustment layers, and I still see my historgrams get choppy making...

I have used a few varieties of the inkpress paper with pretty good results.
I have tried the warm tone rag for some black and white landscapes, but in limited quantities, and so far only 4x6 size....

Great to hear, sounds like you had a wonderful trip. I definitely agree on Death Valley, one of the neatest places I have ever been, 10 days would be well spent there.

Did you get some nice days...

Good reading, I've struggled to tell the focus changes when using swing/tilt. I will have to try the suggestion on practicing close to the ground...

Thanks for all the info. I will work on some prints tonight and see what I come up with...

Kevin

Thanks.

I am using cs, what do you set the resolution at when doing the crop, or do you leave that field blank? Why reset resolution to 240 or 300?

Part of my problem is I can't fit what I want...

I can see I have a lot to learn about photoshop...

I ran into a new frustration last night trying to print some of my images, I've mostly been just creating images for viewing on a monitor, not...

Amazing what an apple a day can do for you huh... :rolleyes:

The one in my signature is me from a couple years ago, the other one makes me laugh.

Also good to know since some of the functions require 8 bit mode, at least if I switch back into 16 bit it helps some...

Thanks everyone.

Thanks guys, that is exactly what I needed to know.

I have been editing and saving in 16 bit, but if you want to use certain filters, or save in some formats you must convert to 8 bit. I started...

How does switching back and forth between these two modes affect your image?

I'm curious if you work in 16 bit mode, save the adjusted file in 8 bit to save space, then come back to it for editing...
