At least in my own experience, the online instructions for ProCamera to enable and shoot 48MB ProRaw images are incorrect. Here is what finally worked for me: In the settings:Max capture quality MUST be either natural or highM&SI quality mode MUST be either highly detailed or natural – Quality setting cannot be either of the unprocessed options […]
I’m said this before, but I think it’s worth repeating as 8K video is on the verge of ubiquity: it will change still photography and traditional photography skills forever. An 8K video image is 7680 by 4320. That’s a 33 megapixel image. It completely does away with the skill needed to press the shutter button […]
Right up front: if you have a copyright issue, get a lawyer. You may think copyright is simple, but you’re wrong. If it were simple, there would not be a lot of very rich copyright lawyers, eh? As a creator, you automatically have a copyright once your expression is in tangible form. That won’t do […]
Here is how to print a target of patches, for use in creating a custom color profile. (Note: this requires that you either have your own spectrophotometer, or are printing a target sent to you by someone you hired to create the custom profile for you.) A target image is composed of hundreds or thousands […]
So, you’ve just spent hours, maybe days, working on an image, carefully using a 16-bit depth, to keep the colors perfect and the tones smooth. The sky will be perfect printed at 2880, and the clouds sublime. You save the file as 16-bit tif, and send it off to the printer. And it is […]

(Some go back almost two […]
The Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, CA, will be featuring four of my images in their exhibition “Selections From Our Permanent Collection: Photographs” which runs from August 17th until October 27th.
While dark environments, such as Apple’s Mojave, or the default settings for Photoshop & Pixelmator Pro, may look fashionable, they are terrible for editing photos. Why? Because they screw up your ability to see tones properly. Using a dark background will trick your mind into producing a print that has clogged up shadows, and is […]
on copyright. First: INAL (I’m not a laywer.)I have, however, read and closely followed copyright for a decade or more. Here are some quick, general points: “Prior to what year are works in the public domain?”1926. (It’s 2021 now, and with extensions, copyright attaches for 95 years.) In general, for works created on or after […]
