Hi all,
Quick note that now that I've joined JPG, if you post your JPG link here, you can assume I've given you a vote (to save clogging up the thread with saying so each time). I can honestly say I like the work here enough that I will pretty much always be willing to give you a jpg vote.
And a quick request: I have processing/choice issues for the free study, and could use another opinion if anyone has some time.
Thanks!
Rob

I posted a thread in the Out and About for a San Francisco Bay Area get together for the weekend of Oct 6th or 13th at the Safari West Game Preserve if anyone is interested.
Here is the web site for the preserve //www.safariwest.com

Here's another couple of tutorials I've written.
Using layer masks to make selections permanent
Using Layer Masks for "Multiple Personality" Shots
That last explains how I did these images:
 
Rob and Karen: I'm happy to help with your free study.

lol, uh oh, conflicting! That does not help does it? Well you have a lot of good choices. Go with Karen's suggestions lol. She probably has a better eye for editing than I do.

hmmm...."a tad conflicting" - makes me wonder how we both differed! :)
and, Rob, I know you know this and it was just mistyping, but since we already have a Mary, I just wanted to make it clear to that krnodil is Karen. :) |

Thanks for the offer, Jeffrey. Rob gave me some feedback, and then after I troubled him for it, I realized that my original RAW file was erased, so I can't enter the durn thing after all. That makes nothing for me for Free, Half, and no ideas for the Opens either. You'll all just have to make do with my Still Life and Soft Focus until I get out and shoot some more. :)

Okay, so I again called you Mary. Grrrr@me. Apologies for that, Karen!
As for the conflicting advice, well, you each had different perspectives (being different people and all) and chose different shots, noticing different things about them :) In the end, I couldn't fix what needed fixing with Karen's choice, couldn't come up with something similar in the time I still had, and so cleaned up what I could on Michelle's choice (which was also my wife's favorite until I started noodling around again and she went to bed) and in it went.
So, I'm in for Free Study and for Half, which was a real surprise, as I was totally uninspired for that until I found my half-thing, and then thought, "Yeah, that might be okay" and went with it. Not gonna score great, but was fun to do (for me, at least)!
Thanks again to Michelle and Karen for all the help, and thanks for the offer Jeffrey, I'm sure to take up your time asking what I should do when I'm in D.C. in late October . . .
Best of luck to all entering and to those who will be shooting!
Best,
Rob |

setting here going through my photos from my YellowStone trip and found this. Though it was a good example of why you should alway pay close attention to whats in your background.
hope everyone see's the humor in this

I can highly recommend "Sharing a meal or an evening shooting with Jeffrey"

I think you should just tell everyone it was deliberate. :)

Does anyone have a link to where I can find info re" transferring my images to computer without changing the exif date? I can't seem to find it and just realized my Free Study properties shows "modified". I need to fix it before 9pm I guess.
PS Once you download from an SD card...does that forever alter the exif date of the original image if it's still on the SD card?

Hey everyone. Quick question as it comes down to deadline... on legality for advanced editing. I am pretty sure it is ok, but just want confirmation from my learned teamates.
In advanced... I have taken a photo in raw format. used just one image capture to output 7 total exposure variations and saved them as jpg. Then used photomatix to generate a half assed hdr image which has then been saved as a 16 bit tiff, then sharpened, selected a couple of small things in the foreground and slightly desaturated them so they did not colour shift as much...then noise ninja, resize, done.
My understanding is that as long as it all comes from just one image capture (the raw file) that this is all legal.
yes or no?

You mean these ones?
Should be a link from your main dpc page, on the top left side. :)
good luck in the challenge.
Oh, and no. as long as you did not save anything back onto the sd card, your original should be safe on there.

I think the easiest and safest way is just to use Windows copy and paste to copy the file from the SD card to a folder on your hard drive. Actually I open the card in Windows Explorer and then drag it to a folder on my hard drive. As long as you don't let any photo or camera software do the import or copy, you will be okay. Also do not rotate the original image, even to look at it. Copy the file and rotate that one. |

My understanding is that's legal in advanced editing, yes:
You may ...
overlay two copies of the same original file and process them differently to enhance dynamic range.
Definitely not legal in basic because you can't overlay multiple layers.

Looks like I am out of the game as far as validated entries. I have followed the transfer guidelines to a "T" and the following shows when I right click on the image properties...
It shows the date and time my pic was created 7:07:19
and it shows it modified 7:07:18
Modified BEFORE the image was taken.
One more reason for a new camera...*sigh

so you did a windows copy and paste of the file from your sd card to the computer, and that is what it shows? I would take that file (after transfered to computer) and look at the exif properties in PS. Windows has it's own little version of tagging things to images which is not always the same as the exif you get if you read it in PS.
So try copy and paste from the card direct to your hard drive. open the photo in PS and go to File-Info and see what the exif shows there. that is the one that I would trust. not just a windows properties right click.
good luck.
Ernie

I don't think you have a problem.
The modified time is the time the photo was taken. After you right click and select properties, look at the tab marked 'details'. In that information you will probably see "date taken" and "date modified" match. My files also show the date created as being later than the date modified. |

| Have I mentioned that it's WAY more humid in Kuwait than Iraq? And you can see the stars so much clearer in Iraq than here. But it's much quieter here, too. :-) |
