Re: Picasa: RAW looks better than JPEG (K200D)
Whether the default RAW conversion looks better or worse than JPEG depends on what the default settings are. I generally find ACR/LR's default settings to be pretty poor, but other converters (Notably CaptureOne) have better default settings. Note that with most RAW converters you can save your own set of default settings and use those instead of the ones that come stock (I found this to be necessary with ACR) Pentax's default JPEGs are decent but nothing more, I'd be shocked if the RAW didn't look better. Since I do everything in RAW anyways, I really don't look closely at the JPEG settings and my K-x remains set to the defaults. -Adam On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 5:23 PM, CheekyGeek wrote: > I guess this qualifies as a newbie question.

It's a traditional farm made cheese carried down from the days of spring houses in back-woods "hollers" where cheese making was the only way to keep milk from spoiling before it got to market. It doesn't have food coloring except for the red in the bees-wax rind (which you peel off and throw away). "American Cheese" has the same relationship to real cheese that margarine has to butter. Both margarine and American Cheese have food coloring added - margarine because dairy farmers forced the U.S. Department of Agriculture to require it to do so. The dairy farms thought the color would be off-putting because butter is white.

I don't think it translates well on digital, at least so far (this might be reduced on a FF sensor or one with a smaller crop factor than 1.5). I have used it on both the K10D and K20D and there's just too much fringing for my taste. I compared the big Pentax-M 67 400mm f4 IF ED lens on these bodies, as well, thinking that the ED glass might make a difference in the fringing but I didn't see one (though I may have been introducing other issues since that lens was designed for the 67 system). But, since I was thinking of getting the FA 400mm f5.6 which also has ED glass I thought I should try it. You may be better off looking into the long DA primes. They've been designed with the smaller sensor in mind. -Brendan -- 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: 400/5.6 vs bigma ?
There are three versions of the 400/5.6: K, M, and A. The A is quite good, and of course it offers auto exposure on digitial cams. It offers a much shorter minimum focus difference than the K lens. The M falls somewhere in between. The A will focus tight enough to get good full-frame bird pics. All are quite sharp and contrasty. You'll get some CA when shooting branches against a white sky or other high contrast subjects. It's fixable in PS. I'm not familiar with the bigma, so I can't say that it's better.

Generally the non-accurate version is better (as it uses cheese rather than cheese curds). The gravy is standard gravy, you can find a dozen recipes in any good cookbook.

Picasa: RAW looks better than JPEG (K200D)
I guess this qualifies as a newbie question. I don't have Lightroom (yet) and so use Picasa to import photos from my SD card. Lately, I've really noticed that in Picasa the RAW thumbnails looks substantially better than the corresponding JPEG (I always shoot RAW+JPEG). Example here: http://www.pixelsmithy.com/img/rawVSjpeg.png I always thought although the RAW contains more information and could look better after post-processing, it would normally look a bit worse than the JPEG. I was wondering if I could poll you on what your settings are for in-camera JPEG processing (and which menu settings you have tweaked). I guess in my case, I definitely would like them to look at least as good as the RAW thumbnail looks! Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!

Re: Sick of cheap scans
That was my original point, Nick. Because the world is moving away from film, the value for a lab to service film is continuing to weaken. It becomes a difficult business model to work with. This situation is going to continue to get worse, not better. That is why I said that you will need to do it yourself. It means paying for a good scanner and investing the time (lots of it) to scan and retouch to get the quality you want. Think of it more like Kodak with Kodachrome. Originally there were more labs that would process it. This made it more affordable and quicker turnaround and better quality because of competition between labs. As interest started dying out, fewer labs could make a business out of it and so consolidation started happening. This made the turnaround slower and less competition - means higher prices and lower quality. Eventually it got down to one lab in the world. Film is headed down the same basic path. Less and less R&D means no more film breakthroughs, more and more labs will consolidate on processing (and almost all of them will just scan your film to the quality you are experiencing or worse. As they consolidate, prices will go up and quality will go down. Manufacturers will or have quit making any new film equipment (cameras, processors, etc). As those break down, the business proposition to fix them will not be there. They will just stop. It is a slow, downward spiral where costs continue to go up and quality continues to go down. I realize this is not a pretty picture, but it is where the market has largely gone and is continuing. That is why I am saying you should set yourself up to control the quality - that means you will need to do the processing (to control chemicals and damage to film) and you will need to do the scanning. I tend to agree with William Robb in that if you are doing film, shouldn't you use the process all the way through instead of converting to digital halfway through? -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, March 19, 2010, 10:55:16 AM, you wrote: NW> G, NW> This is why I am so upset.

Re: Manual Focus 28

I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't make the cut for the exhibit, but I wasn't really expecting to. I had a hard time finding three images I thought were good enough to submit, and to tell the truth, I ended up settling for one that I thought was good enough and two that I thought were almost good enough.
