    I'm impressed by your opened attitude! I'm also impressed by instructors omitting to mention the great importance and limitations of CMYK. As most my work (65%) is directed towards publishing/printing, the ins and outs of CMYK are an integer part of my workflow.

    • I totally appreciate the challenge and your meticulous work!
  3. Kodiak
    CMYK is mainly used when sending to a 4 colour rotary-press printer. For photo printing, RGB is the right colour space.

    • Coooool but noisy cool take, Aeros4! Noisy because of the over sharpening and over structure or too high ISO?

    • … never met these guys in person! That capture is the right kind of challenge for a proper gimbal head. He must be much more than a saint 'cause the halo is all around its body!

    • I'm not really qualified to appreciate that type of typography, calligraphy but I dig the sweet tones!

    • Cool reportage rendition!

    • Great colour palette in here, Frankentoon… though I have a hard time with the "robot" character of the pose!

    • Very cool work… and you did not succumb to the "overdo" devil. :)

    • I dig the drama in the first and third takes, cool imagery! The serenity in the second is quite remarkable though I think the snow in FG could be somewhat whiter. As for the rest, all delicious.

    There are two issues in this question… Resizing Increasing the size (in pixel) is not an easy task. No software does it well but the "lesser evil" is produced through Perfect Resize from OnOne —pretty much the industry standard. Quality strategy +1 …and this is the reason why one should perform the "resizing" prior to any PP except DRL, WB, and tonal balance.

    It is so recommendable to "only publish" in CMYK as the industry practice is to layout in RGB. The conversion may be done when the final doc will be exported to pdf.

    • The common and clever practice is to stay in RGB or ProRGB to perform any, all post- production works and only convert the final file to CMYK for the printer. It is a win-win situation where both the proces- sing power & time and files sizes are kept within more reasonable 3 channels rather than 4. If starting with a RAW file, one will not have to bother with that since RAWs have no colour space (they are not images but recorded data). If a files needs to go through a pixel editor, it can be converted at the end of the process. One is well advised to… stay in the RAW converter as long as possible stay in RGB colour space until the end.

    What he said he said… …stupendous!
  15. Kodiak
    Thanks, that explains a few things!

    I'll get some more soon enough… for you pleasure I hope!

    • I have experience with stitching a rather large number files for urban panos but it was a dedicated software. I never tried to stitch with AP.

    • When I learned the Photo could develop RAW files I was all hopeful and excited at the idea to try it… but was disappointed within 5 minutes. As much as I believe AF Photo will replace PS for me as pixel editor, I realized that, for my operations, the Raw conversion is not that yet as… one can only work on a single file at the time and the controls are illogical to me, too close to LR and not close enough to real RAW conversion. I don't believe that AF Photo is the right tool to learn RAW converting at this point…maybe with later improvements. I could not imagine teaching or mentoring sessions on RAW processing with it and make it fun as it should be.

    I personally only work in sessions as I hate libraries and the catalogue idea. You're right though saying there is no problem seeing the edited file along/beside the RAW file when it is in the same folder.
  20. Kodiak
    Now, that's quite receivable and with great pleasure! I hope your connection will work better! :)

    Cool, glad the effort was good to someone :) In no way! For photo printing, one has to test the lab. Publish a jpg file the way you would like to see it and have it printed. If all goes well, then fine. If not, tweak in your converter, republish and retest until satisfied. DON'T GIVE THE LAB ANY FREEDOM! Unless they are knowledgeable AND friends.

    • Terra del Juego??? I was in Terra del Fuego but…
  23. Kodiak
    I don't understand why you need to bring the edited picture back in C1! C1 is a RAW converter… what do you expect C1 to do with an edited picture… knowing that every new save of the same file implies some degree of degeneration.

    You're just too kind… too many things went wrong in there. I was fighting so much not to cough or sneeze given my cold my famous FM voice was showing signs of throat irritation at 10.4 min, Marie's son (using his mother's Skype connection) was telling me that he's out of the shower and ready for his session I was very aware (too aware) of the recording and, being the first time, that drove me crazy… I could hear all the English mistakes, I was thinking in French as I was talking… etc. It was a first and I leaned quite a bit!
