    Yosemite & CO8P: is it safe yet ?

    I have found some issues with the interaction of C1 and Media Pro on Yosemite. If you ask MP to send a file over to C1, it usually fails to send. I confirmed the issue with Phase and was told there will be an update to MP to address this. Also, at times video files fail to play in MP in...

    M240 High ISO/Long Exposure ?

    I was trying to take photos of the Milky Way in the Nevada desert using a cable release and it turned off the exposure at 7 sec, then a dark frame. I couldn't convince it to expose any longer on aperture priority either. Agree with you, wish it would give us more time. Steve

    M240 High ISO/Long Exposure ?

    My M240 gives me 7 secs max at ISO 3200 or 6400. I have not been able to turn off the dark frame. Thanks, Steve

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    I have also stayed with the PPW and am trying to teach it to others now. I have found that my eye for color casts alone is much better. That, along with learning about Lab, has been worth the time easily. Steve

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    Hi Georg, That is the question for me. Given the tools we have, is the PPW workflow still superior? I know Margulis feels it is, but I don't know if comparisons to the results with Nik etc are still being done as the products evolve. I have not seen much about plugins on the color theory forum...

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    Hi Godfrey, I agree with what Phil said. The idea is to correct the color, then adjust contrast independently of color, then adjust color independently of contrast. Since most RAW processors don't allow this separation and control of goals, DM prefers PS for the heavy lifting on the files. The...

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    Hi Phil, I have been using the workflow routinely after writing down the flow into a notepad so I can refer to it instead of the book. I agree the page layout can be scrambled sometimes. The figures referred to can be pages away from the text. Agree the videos can help a lot. There are more of...

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    Hi Phil, I have been practicing it. Still a ways to go, though. For now, I am getting used to the method and not adding any other techniques until I get the hang of it. I suspect I will add local adjustments to what he does. Steve

    Leica Releases Firmware v2.0.1.5 for M?

    Hi Jono, Was there any discussion about changing the time exposure limits? Thanks, Steve

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    In essence, he prefers to separate the correction of color from contrast, rather than adjust both at once as a traditional workflow does. The PPW does that, as you know, but the tools in ACR do not. He does not use C1, has never tried it, so the remarks are extrapolated to C1. The book goes...

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    One interesting thing I have written to Dan Margulis about is how much lifting to do in C1. In about chapter 14 of the color correction book, it gives you his guidelines for RAW processing in anticipation of the PPW. He is very conservative in what he does, going with the heavy lifting to PPW...

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    Hi Phil, Although I have been using photoshop since about 2006, I have done more of the work in Capture One Pro lately. It is interesting to try out the PPW workflow and see how the result compares to Capture One. Along the way, I have also read many of the books on HDR, but I don't use the...

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    Hi Alajuela, I agree with you. I have read the color correction book 4 times, each time after trying to correct an image or two, and each time pick up some new detail I should have noted before. Of the books you mentioned, is there one you prefer? The LAB book might be the best for me, as It...

    The PPW (Picture Postcard Workflow)

    I just read the book and looked at the videos as well. It is essentially opposite to what I was doing, which was much of the work in capture one pro. Here the RAW conversions are very conservative and his workflow does the rest. In particular, I found chapter 3 difficult. His use of color...

    Hi Brian, What a difference from the day before. I knew I should have gone with you that am! Steve
