I don't know why, maybe I'm alone in this, but nobody told me that after I bought Topaz. After one year, they said I would need to pay $150 for another year of updates
This obsession with keeping the iso on 100 at all times can make you miss important moments. It’s happened to me so many times. Better to have noise, while getting the subject tac sharp than missing the shot all together. Plus with noise reduction technologies now days, you can crank it up pretty high, and still get good results.
@@AustinJamesJackson yeah but what does that mean. Does it affect the noise, the resolution, anything specific that it affects that makes the image quality worse?
I question the need for the size of either pack and ICU. based on your gear and how you're loading the ICU's seems much larger than needed. I have a f stop lotus 32l with a medium sized ICU, DSLR with l bracket, 16-35, 24-70, 70-200, Nisi filter pouch, and room for blower/cleaning ++. All but the 70-200 can store upright thus saving space. Actually I'm looking for a smaller bag.
If I store the camera upright, I can't store it with a lens on. I like to leave a lens on my camera when I pack it away, it's super annoying if I always have to put a new lens on every time I want to stop and shot something quickly.
Him: make sure every single photo is perfect. Check it on the spot. Me: *click click click click click click click* man one of those will come out so fantastic. I can't wait to see them on the laptop.
I think there is a big urban legend here: software has never belonged, does not belong and will never belong to anyone other than its author and/or publisher. And no, when you purchase a one-time payment license, YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING THE SOFTWARE. The software therefore does not belong to you. The only thing you buy is a USE LICENSE, that is to say a contract between you and the software publisher. This contract states in particular that you have the right to use the software "as is", that is to say with its bugs in particular. And if one of the two members of this agreement withdraws, the license is no longer valid. If, for example, the software is resold by the publisher to another publisher, you lose your license. If the publisher goes bankrupt, you lose your license. If the publisher no longer updates the software and its bugs you have no recourse because your license stipulates that you agree to use the software "as is ». This is why Adobe is a safe bet, which explains the price in particular. Don't be so naive as to believe that software can "belong to you"
True, but usually older versions of software stop being updated, so it would be odd for a new bug to be introduced on software that isn't getting updated.
@@AustinJamesJackson The only thing I say is that the software never belongs to the person who actually buys a "user license" (and not "the software") Having worked for years as a software developer I can assure you that yes, a bug can very well appear years later on an old version. The bug is "dormant" simply because the usage or temporal situation has never arisen. Believing that software is bug-free is extremely naive and gullible. And then there is the most famous "bug" that occurs sooner or later: backward compatibility. You update your OS and now your version no longer works on your computer, and will never work on it again. The license you paid for was granted to you "as is". And if this state of the software is no longer compatible with your computer, its OS or both, your version becomes inoperative and obsolete. Licenses sold without updates (if you want an update, you have to pay for it, this is also accompanied by a license update) have a limit that you should be aware of. Believing that you will “not be held hostage by the publisher” or that you will “keep your freedom” is a simplistic short-term view. From the moment you use software, you become dependent. If you leave one software for another, you become dependent on the new one. To finish, I would like to point out that just like you, I am a professional photographer and trainer and that just like you, I am comfortable with the industrial standard: Lightroom. Adobe's subscription payment licensing policy certainly has disadvantages, but it also has many advantages, notably that of having software that is always up to date, and which continues to offer advances (which we may or may not need). - But that's another debate). The functions of software are obviously important. but the user license policy is just as important. This is why it is very important to understand that not only does the software not belong to us, but you will ALWAYS be dependent on the publisher of the software you use, even if you have purchased a license. without updating (or with updates limited in time)
Hi a newbie question 😅 In image sizing for insta, do I still choose the Long Edge for the resize fit if my image is a portrait? Then, 1350 for pixels? Hope you notice. Thank you in advance!
Changing white balance affects your final image, not just the image on your camera screen. The reason why images look flat on a camera screen is the screen which is not tuned to have the same color saturation as your smartphone screen
That actually isn’t true. Your phone screen isn’t prepped any differently to deal with color. White balance is totally adjustable if shooting in RAW as well.
I usually shoot a preview image on 6400, 12800 or 25600 iso since im looking for the sharpness of the dots, i think i only need like less than 1 second exposures on 11800 or 25600
For anyone in the comments wondering a good use case for this would be for something like astrophotography where stars are obviously very bright. You can actually shoot at the second base ISO of your camera, ensure you get sharp stars, and make sure you don't blow out highlights and bring up the exposure again in post. This will ensure you preserve those highlight details. Normally I wouldn't do a whole shoot like this, but the last several frames of a composition I will do this just so I have some backup frames in case I made some mistake with the "normally" shot frames. It is also great for blue hour blends to push later into blue hour giving a much "flatter" image that will blend much easier with a milky way shot.
@AustinJamesJackson That technique is similar to the technique used to figure out which lens is most clear. "#1 or #2" lol .. I meant optometrist, btw.
Got the Luminar NEO LTD deal for only $49 way back when they launched. There are few functions that I like, but otherwise I've barely touched it. Wouldn't really compare it with Lightroom because there are no cataloguing features and otherwise it's missing quite a lot.
