Check the settings and dial in whatever it is that makes the camera create good images in sunlight. Shoot something white at different settings and pick the closest one. That way, all your jpegs come out close.<br /><br />On threshold/glow: I've posted these instructions before. The threshold technique involves a threshold layer in photoshop where you adjust what you want lighter and what you want darker. Once you set that, you blur that upper threshold layer to taste (makes the transition from light to dark harder or softer) and set the blend mode to "soft light." Then you set opacity of that layer to taste. The glow technique is similar, but you make an ordinary duplicate layer, set blend to screen, and apply Gaussian blur to that layer to taste. Then set opacity to taste. Between these two, you can really smooth out textures and noise, yet get a fairly dramatic look. Works amazingly well in black and white.<br /><br />Regarding OnOne: I use only SkinTune, which is now a part of phototune. In fact, I have found that I no longer need it, as I have internalized correct skin colors and am able to use a combination of color balance layer and color filter layer to affect the same changes. To understand skin tones better, google for "smugmug skin tone" and read that article.Kim Letkemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385760559949803522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172173779403995487.post-55819217681387471922010-06-13T12:42:31.915-04:002010-06-13T12:42:31.915-04:00On a past occasion u have suggested the use of ONO...On a past occasion u have suggested the use of ONOne phototool for color tone correction however after having downloaded it I could not get it to work from inside of the CS3 !i.e. no picture was visible on launching the pluggin !<br />Can u suggest an alternative ?drpankajshuklahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276901339629552659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172173779403995487.post-44618081588759069382010-06-13T12:39:15.401-04:002010-06-13T12:39:15.401-04:00Hi Kim !

So a much deeper analysis is required. I think in the end it was the aperture, but it's much less obvious that you are making it sound with these cameras.Kim Letkemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385760559949803522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172173779403995487.post-22242435373813905932010-05-04T19:25:39.710-04:002010-05-04T19:25:39.710-04:00Smaller Aperture = Shallow Depht of Field.

From what I have seen of the F200EXR, I don't consider it's IQ to be that much different from that of the F70EXR. So, in general terms, you should be able to extract basically the same image quality from the HS10 as you do from the F200EXR. With one exception ... the HS10 does not have an EXR sensor and therefore will blow highlights more easily than the F200EXR when shot properly.Kim Letkemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385760559949803522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172173779403995487.post-81053702562177488452010-05-03T17:16:43.450-04:002010-05-03T17:16:43.450-04:00Dear Kim,

The last thing I bought is a F200EXR and I´m very happy with IQ - it meets my needs. My question is: do you think IQ of the HS10 is close or significant worse in the same range of the F200EXR lens? I like a lot of features with the HS10 and it seems to be light enough to carry it with me while traveling ... <br />thanks for your help,<br />many regards <br />RalfUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03779634150020236640noreply@blogger.com
