What do you mean by RGB? (Just about everything you work on in Photoshop is in RGB.) If you mean a non-color-managed image (in RGB but without any color profile at all), then there certainly is a big advantage: If an image isn't in any known color space then reproduction can be all over the map. I'm referring to the color space Adobe 'RGB' vs sRGB as available as a capture option in digital SLRs. It covers a wider area than sRGB. Wide Gamut RGB covers an even wider gamut and Pro Photo RGB even wider than that. When I convert my raw files into a standard format I use Pro Photo RGB. When printing in a fully color managed system I rely on the Color Management Engine to map the colors into the (smaller) range appropriate for the output device. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Size the file such that the output sizing you want falls between 180 and 360 ppi, if you want to fix a resolution. 300 ppi is a good target, but if it falls within this range without resampling, I'd just hand them a full resolution file and let them do the sizing for you. I'd recommend sticking with either 180 or 360 ppi if printing to an Epson printer. Every time I've tried a resolution that wasn't a multiple of 180, I've gotten jagged artifacts in the output from the resampling. The native resolution of the Epson inkjets is the factor here. Photoshop/Lightroom seem to do a much better job with the resampling/resizing than the Epson print drivers do. The photo-based professional printers seem to have native resolutions of either 300 or 400 DPI, depending on the exact model. I'm sure someone else can shed more light on the process for them. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Photoshop/Lightroom seem to do a much better job with the resampling/resizing than the Epson print drivers do. The photo-based professional printers seem to have native resolutions of either 300 or 400 DPI, depending on the exact model. I'm sure someone else can shed more light on the process for them. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

It's a single shot or actually one shot from a bracketed set to select the best exposure. The camera is set to extended dynamic range as default.

Re: Aperture 3 now available
As I wrote on Photo.net: Personally, I've never liked Aperture's UI very much, but that's not what's stopped me from relying upon it. The lack of support for many raw file formats, the slow development and unresponsive nature of communicating with the Aperture development team are the big turn-offs for me. I also have used Lightroom, and Photoshop with Camera Raw before that, since they came on the market. Adobe has always been responsive to my queries, they've issued updates on a regular basis, and they support every single camera of note in the marketplace on a timely basis. No matter how wonderful the latest features Aperture supports might be, for my work it is a far away lower priority over timely support and support team responsiveness. I do use Aperture ... I use its book-making facilities ... but I only import TIFF files that I finish in Lightroom and Photoshop into it. It's just not worth the hassle otherwise. And if Lightroom 3 includes the publish and bookmaking features that I need, well, I can always use a little more disk space from removing software I no longer need. I keep an open mind about it, I try every new version. This one will have to wait until I buy new hardware as it doesn't run on PowerPC systems (yeah, I work with ancient hardware) or I'll add it to my Snow Leopard test drive that I boot a borrowed MacBook with at present. But the issue of Aperture's poor support scenario remains irksome and less than delightful for being productive, IMO. I'm downloading it onto my Snow Leopard test system as we speak.

The noise must be something incredible if they let you get close enough. Dave The sound was not as loud as I thought it would be. Not nearly as loud as I remember the Apollo launch and I saw that from out at I-95. Where I was positioned was about 12 miles from the actual launch pad. My position, best I can locate it, was 28.564065, -80.798084. Plug that number into Google maps. The launch pad is at 28.626208, -80.620480 (or else it's the one just south of there - there are two of them right together). Zoom out just slightly, and to the north, going from Titusville into the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, is the A. Max Brewer Memorial Pkwy. Just after you cross the bridge there's a boat launch area called Parrish Park. NASA closes off the wildlife refuge during the launches, but the place they close it off is at 28.628510, -807987597. I drove into the wildlife refuge about an hour after the launch and both sides of the peninsula was filled with RVs, but the parking area around the boat launch was mostly empty. I know they couldn't have all driven in to there in the hour after the launch, so they had to be there before the launch. That means the entire peninsula from the gate down to Parish Park is open and it's a bit closer to the launch site, a couple of miles at least. If I go back to try for one of the daylight launches I think I'll get situated along the A. Max Brewer Memorial Pkwy near Parrish Park. Something amazing that I've never seen mentioned is you can follow the shuttle all the way to orbit with the naked eye. All I've ever seen in the press is the first phase just about to where the solid boosters cut loose. You can see that at night. To the naked eye it looked like two tiny red dots descending from the still bright light of the main shuttle engines. You could follow the shuttle by the light of the main engines until they shut down once they'd achieved orbital velocity. I had seen one previous launch from out on I-95; one of the Apollo missions. I've been trying to figure out which one it was and think it must have been Apollo 14. That was an incredible sight. And it *WAS* loud. Hold your right hand out at arms length and spread your fingers slightly so that the gap between the fingers is the same width as the fingers themselves. Watching from out on I-95, the height of the Saturn V was about the width of my index finger. The flame lifting it up extended down as far as my little finger; about six times the height of the rocket. The more I think about it, I'm going to have to make time to go see at least one more. Should have made time for it years ago. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Aperture 3 now available
I know that in the past Aperture was slow to update RAW compatibility. In fact, there were times when you were forced to wait for the OS update in order to get them. It looks like that's in the past, however, since I regularly get updates for RAW compability. In fact, there was one just this morning. As far as support goes, I've never had issues serious enough with Aperture that couldn't be answered in the Apple forums and I wonder if the PowerPC chipset was part of the problem (I've always run Aperture on an Intel based Mac Pro). -Brendan - Original Message From: Godfrey DiGiorgi gdigio...@gmail.com To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Sent: Wed, February 10, 2010 11:04:54 AM Subject: Re: Aperture 3 now available As I wrote on Photo.net: Personally, I've never liked Aperture's UI very much, but that's not what's stopped me from relying upon it. The lack of support for many raw file formats, the slow development and unresponsive nature of communicating with the Aperture development team are the big turn-offs for me. I also have used Lightroom, and Photoshop with Camera Raw before that, since they came on the market. Adobe has always been responsive to my queries, they've issued updates on a regular basis, and they support every single camera of note in the marketplace on a timely basis. No matter how wonderful the latest features Aperture supports might be, for my work it is a far away lower priority over timely support and support team responsiveness. I do use Aperture ... I use its book-making facilities ... but I only import TIFF files that I finish in Lightroom and Photoshop into it. It's just not worth the hassle otherwise. And if Lightroom 3 includes the publish and bookmaking features that I need, well, I can always use a little more disk space from removing software I no longer need. I keep an open mind about it, I try every new version. This one will have to wait until I buy new hardware as it doesn't run on PowerPC systems (yeah, I work with ancient hardware) or I'll add it to my Snow Leopard test drive that I boot a borrowed MacBook with at present. But the issue of Aperture's poor support scenario remains irksome and less than delightful for being productive, IMO. I'm downloading it onto my Snow Leopard test system as we speak.

Re: lightroom configuration for costco prints
Thanks Godfrey - well explained. Would you expect to see a difference on an inkjet print using sRGB and Adobe RGB 1988?

Kudos to Paul C Buff
In December, I was shooting a dance workshop and one of my PCB White lightnings let the smoke out of its power capacitors (as it has been diagnosed). I finally sent it in for repair, with the blown caps, it can't be repaired. They offered me 1/2 off any of their X series flashes. I'll be getting my X1600 sometime next week. When I compare the price of their replacement bulbs with other brands, and look at this level of service on a dead 20 year old flash, I must say that I'm very favorably impressed. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I've noticed a lot of pros now bind prints into a folder or book without sleeves. The pics certainly look better when they're not behind plastic. When they get dirty or damaged, they're replaced. I have yet to find a perfect solution. Paul On Feb 10, 2010, at 5:26 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I got my prints back yesterday, and am quite happy with them.

This lens will have to be larger than the FA 20 F2.8. Sigma's 20 F1.8 takes, IIRC, an 82 mm filter. So this will probably take a 77 mm. filter. I don't think that the front element for the cropped sensor 20mm lens would need to be nearly as large as the FF 20mm lenses but still that lens pictured does look kind of small, it would be a 58mm filter at most. Rob (and JTainter), The front element is precisely the one that doesn't change (substantially) with format size. A lens that is f/1 will have a front element diameter no smaller than the focal length of the lens. For each stop that you slow down the lens from f/1, the diameter can decrease by square root of 2, or aprox. 1.4 time. So the minimum diameter for the front element of a 20mm f/1 lens is 20/1 = 20mm; for f/1.4 it's 20/1.4 = 14mm; for f/2 it's 20/1.4/1.4 = 20/2 = 10mm. Except this is all wrong, because Pentax's register distance is 45.46mm, and lenses wider than 45mm will start bringing their rear element closer and closer to the film/ccd plane. Because there is a mirror in the way in SLRs, extreme wide angle lenses use a different optical construction than standard and long focal lengths, it's called retrofocus, or inverted telephoto. In this design, the front element is much larger than the aforementioned formula would decree. How large? As far as I know, it depends on the design, although I'd gladly hear about any formulas dictating minimum required size independently of the design. So I suppose I didn't really give you an answer, huh? :-) In practical terms, a Pentax filter size is always smaller (or equal) than that for the equivalent Sigma lens :-D But seriously, once upon a time Pentax designed a 20mm f/1.4 prototype lens and it had a filter diameter of 77mm: http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/primes/_prototype/K20f1.4.html The very nice (and compact) FA 20mm f/2.8 has a 67mm diameter, which could maybe be retained considering we'd be increasing the entrance pupil by 1 stop, but also reducing the FoV by about 1 stop, for a DA 20mm f/2. Of course, we also have to allow space for weather sealing, and maybe SDM gadgetry (this is just a guess). But I think that if they want to, they could keep the filter size at 67mm.

My theory is that it will be exactly the size that they make it! ;-) I'd love the 28mm. That translates to right around 40mm for full frame, which makes it just about right for the street. And nice and fast, too, for night shooting. I find that my A50mm 1.7 is too long for much of what I want to shoot at night. Having the 28mm ~and~ the 50 would be a nice combo... The 20mm is enticing, but maybe I'd get the 21mm pancake instead; I know it's a completely different lens so hard to compare, but like the compactness of the pancake.
