Max Aperture
I'm using Iphoto '09 and looking at the Extended Photo information. Under the exposure section is a field called: Max Aperture. Does anyone know what this is? It is usually higher than the Aperture I used when taking the photo but isn't the max aperture for the lens I used. I googled and can't find anything about it...
Thanks for your insight.

Workflow in Aperture for Alamy
As a contributor to Alamy and a new user of Aperture, I wonder if anyone could recommend an ideal workflow. Most importantly the export settings to meet the Alamy specs.
I am shooting using a Nikon D80 which gives a RAW file size of about 8.5 MB.
Thank you in advance.

Max - Aperture can upsample images but only on export. But then, that's when you need it.
Basically, you just make a new export preset that is equivalent to 16 megapixels or above.

CS4 Bridge smart collectione by aperture value
I would like to create a collection from scanning several thousands photos - based on aperture value. However aperture is not available when setting criteria in smart collection definition. Or am I missing something?
VladIt is really annoying - no aperture value field is selectable in metadata. The only one aperture related option is "max aperture value" which defines in some way the lens but not actual shooting situation. Adobe listen - aperture value is one of the most rudimentary parameters for a photographer - it is nice to have it in filters - but it has to be accessible in some easy way (at least accessible if not easy) in folders and their subfolders. Or maybe I am totally dumb - now I really do not know.

Aperture 3.1.2 reads sidecar xmp info of Bilora/Jobo geotagger incorrectly. Why?
After A3 reads the xmp file it displays the lenstype incorrectly in the metadata, only the max aperture instead of the full specs. I use canon gear. Any suggestions?
software update by Bilora corrects the mistake.

Lightroom features/bug fixes I would like to see in next version
I love the Adobe Lightroom Application. It is very intiutive and out of the different RAW processing programs I've tried, it is the only one that has most of the features I need and has the least amount of complications. However, I think there are still places to improve upon:
* Decouple raw processor from the monolithic software executable so that updates to the RAW camera component to add new cameras can be made without requiring huge downloads or reinstallation of a new software program but simply updating a few DLLs and files.
* Improve performance of the Develop panel. It is extremely slow on my laptop running 32bit Windows 7 and 3GB of RAM with dual core processor (pre-Core duo). 8 to 10 seconds for the "loading" message to disappear per image no matter how often I have loaded or edited the image. No caching is being done at all.
* On my higher powered Desktop (Quad Core2 processor/4GB RAM,Windows 7), Adobe Lightroom frequently will start behaving strangely after only a few hours of running. It seems like it is leaking resources or something because eventually functionality will start failing. Specifically, right clicking on images will no longer bring up menus for example. If i shutdown and restart the application, the problem goes away.
* Photoshop-like healing brush. Many times I want to "brush" over areas of image defects but the only choice in Lightroom is the healing tool which always creates a circle and does not allow "brushing". This only works if the defect is a spot and not an irregular area.
* Adjustment with Arbitrary Mask tool. Bibble 5 has this nice concept where you can mask out a section of an image and then apply adjustments to it without affecting the rest of the image. You simply draw a mask and then you can apply adjustments to it. The only option in Lightroom is to select the "Mask" option but that leaves the decision of where exactly you want to mask to Lightroom which only uses edge contrast to determine masking area.
* I'd like a way to tell Lightroom to update the metadata (write out) on all images that are out of sync. Right now the write metadata function will write out metadata to all files whether or not it is required. This means that it is inpractical to try to update your entire catalog as tens of thousands of files will be written to and not just those that are out of sync. This is very important as a way to preserve editing metadata in case of loss of the Lightroom catalog.
* Option to write import metadata to imported files. For example, I have an import metadata for copyright and keywords and I want the imported JPG or DNG files to permanently have this metadata so that even if individual files are copied my copyright and other metadata are preserved with it.
* Option to append text labels to automatically generated import destination folder names. So for example, I can still import into date based directories but append a description to help me remember what the folder contains when I'm later browsing it. Right now it is either/or. You can either choose the name of the import folder destination OR you can have the software generate one for you.
* A google-type search box at the top of the library panel so that ad-hoc searches can be done without having to fool around with the filters. Everybody is used to a single search box for simple textual searches.
* some way to filter images by whether they have been exported previously or not
* Please support lens and shooting information for Sony DSLRs in both JPG and RAW files. Also support 3rd party lenses on Sony DSLRs without assigning the wrong Minolta lenses to them. I want to be able to see both Lens name, max aperture, focusing distance (if available) etc...
* Some way to edit the Shooting lens information to support lenses which are not known to Lightroom, and if suggestion above won't be implemented, some way for the user to edit the lens id --> mapping table so that I can properly map my own 3rd party lenses.
* Facial recognition/tagging option. Some way to have Lightroom apply people tags after I have tagged representative images. Handle multiple people in a scene.
* Automatic (batch) export of images on schedule. I would like a way to configure Lightroom to automatically generate particular export configuration of all my images in a catalog (or some defined subset) such that new files or files that have been edited since last export are automatically exported on a schedule even if Lightroom is not running. Perhaps a Lightroom batch service. This is so that I can always have up to date processed versions of my images for use in my media center display. I would like to configure the Lightroom batch service to run weekly at say 2am every day, run a particular export function and export all new or modified images to a network share accessible by the media center. That way, I can always have access to cropped and edit images without manually doing exports all the time or having to remember which files I've edited and then export them. Also by doing this at off hours it would not slow down my computer while I'm using it.
* Better profiles for Sony DSLRs and support for their picture styles the same way that Canon and Nikon camera are supported.
* Teethering support for Sony DSLRs that have this feature
* Support for parametric plugins -- Plugins that do not require the image to be exported before running.
* Simple support for "picture frames" when exporting. Some way to apply a frame to an image as part of export with a dozen or so frames included and a way for 3rd parties to create more.
* A better way to safely share catalogs or pictures between multiple computers/users in a networked environment.Did these come to you all at once, or have you been saving them up for a while?
Anyway, Adobe *should* be able to handle long lists of FR, but another option is to break them up and submit them for voting on the new FR/Idea site that will shortly replace this one: (It was really hot for a while, but has cooled down lately...)

They are already decoupled - you can update ACR independently for new camera support, however it's released at about the same frequency as Lightroom itself, so that doesn't help much. Perhaps this should be reworded: "Provide more timely ACR updates..."

I've been complaining about this for a long time - ACR cache is worthless for me too - if dev image not in RAM cache, takes same amount of time to render whether in ACR disk cache or not. Some say ACR cache speeds things up for them - perhaps you need to *believe*...
PS - After new motherboard upgrade, this went from 15 seconds to 3 seconds average.

Yep - Lightroom still has some leaks - gotta restart it from time to time...

+1 vote - arguably the most desired addition to the dev tools. I bet Lr4 will have this (no inside info though).

Frequently requested - some use pre-startup database query + plugin to make collection in the mean time (I dont).

RC Importer supports this - its an import plugin that bypasses the import dialog box - not for everyone...

Maybe the seeds of a good idea here, but may be worth some refinement/clarification - what would be searched? Would special syntax be supported? Personally, I mostly hate all 1-box search fields, because one never knows what's being searched and how, e.g. does it search the whole catalog?, is it case sensitive? On the other hand, I get the convenience factor... - I think if accompanied by help and/or the ability to pop up a dialog box for refinement or options, this might make a nice addition. Along these lines, I sometimes think a quick-smart-collection would be nice too - for when one wants to search 2 text fields, instead of just one. I keep a temporary smart collection just for this purpose, but still...
HopeSpringsEternal2008 wrote:

Change detecting export plugins have mostly solved this for me (and publishing for some folks), although adding export info (and metadata change info) to catalog for searching / sorting still sounds like a good idea to me...

Yes, better export management would be welcome. Export Manager might help you (if you have multiple export destinations to update), but its not a panacea... Many of us ultimately "consume" our photos outside Lightroom, having the consumption copies kept up to date more fluidly would be good. Using change detecting export plugins (along with export-manager) and/or publishing helps..
HopeSpringsEternal2008 wrote:

Yep - much room for plugins to get better integrated with Lightroom proper, to participate in image enhancement, as well as other things...
HopeSpringsEternal2008 wrote:

That would be nice. Although support for 3rd parties to add frames *upon export* already exists (export filter plugin + export post-process actions), as well as adding text overlays and such. But since its not built into Lightroom, one has to find them and configure them... And there is no good way to preview them in Lightroom... I think this would go nicely with the previous request - ability to feed image data to plugins for preview in Lightroom. Even if these updates were not built-into the dev module - i.e. weren't kept updated automatically whilst editing - just being able to click a 'see final' button or have it rolled into the build-previews function, so one could have post-process imaging plugins (with preview before export) - might be a nice compromise until true imaging plugins (that fit into dev pipeline) are supported.
The end - for now...

What are the major risks buying used lenses ?
i just bought my first dslr, and i was wondering what are the major risks buying used lenses ?
You need to be able to inspect and test the lens.
Look for obvious signs of physical damage, drops, etc. (cracks, dents, etc.) A lens normally will get some signs of wear but as it's a used lens, you expect *some* wear... you're really looking for signs of damage.
Remove both front and rear caps. Look through the lens into a bright no-contrast background (a white wall, a blue sky, etc.) and check the optics. You're looking for signs of mold growth or damage to coatings. Minor dust on internal optics wont impact the lens performance... so while you wouldn't want major amounts of dirt... don't worry too much about minor bits of dust (I've actually helped prove this to someone by clipping a 3M PostIt note down to a tiny 1/4" x 1/4" size and sticking it on the front glass. Take a photo... nothing shows in the photo (even a piece of "dirt" that big wont show because the camera cannot focus on anything that close to the lens.)
Rotate the focus ring from end to end. You should feel a smooth and consistent amount of friction as you rotate the focus ring. There should be no rough spots. Listen to the lens as you do this... there should be no grinding noises.
Do the same with the zoom ring but in addition to checking for smooth consistent performance (no sticky or rough spots) you're also checking to make sure nothing seems excessively worn (nothing wobbles loose... very heavily used lenses can do that after enough wear.)
Connect the lens to the camera and make sure the camera can completely operate the auto-focus motors without a problem and/or if it's an image stabilized lens that the IS components are working.
Set the camera to max aperture (e.g. f/22, f/32.. depending on the lens) and press your camera's "depth of field preview" button (if you don't know which button is your DOF preview, check your manual. Canon tends to move that one around a bit but it's almost always on the front side of the camera near the lens mount.) You want to press and release it a few times. This will cause the lens aperture blades to stop down to the aperture you set. Release... do this while watching the lens. You should see the aperture blades move in and out (well... they snap in and out very quickly). You want to make sure it works ok, the camera gets no error codes, and there's no signs that anything is sticking.
And then there is the focus test...
Focus the camera preferably at a FLAT surface that has lots of detail.... such as the brick wall of a building. Make sure the camera is level and that the camera's focal plane is parallel to the plane of the wall. Take a test photo at low f-stop and inspect. You're checking to verify that the focus works and that the focus is reasonable across the image. As you inspect from left ot right and top to bottom you are looking to make sure the focus is more or less equal (if the right side of the image is focused... but the left side of the image is soft... it would indicate that lens elements are skewed (lens isn't collimated). It's difficult for a lens to get into this situation unless it was dropped and you'd probably see signs of damage.

Exif Data Not Showing Up in Web Gallery?!
Some of my exif data is missing from my web gallery! f-stop, shutter speed missing.. check it out:
http://gallery.mac.com/johnnymcclungActually it is showing "max aperture" but not the actual aperture I shot at - I now can see shutter speed... but the aperture I used for the shots aren't showing up - either way, I had fun shooting the eclipse last night!

Putting fileinfo data on bottom of image for use in building a photobook for printing/binding
I wonder if someone on here could help me with a problem I have? I am not a script expert by any means. The term "amateur" is probably pretty accurate!
I have a few hundred pictures I want to include into a (to be printed) photobook. I want to put some key EXIF/Fileinfo data on the images so that they remind me of what file, when it was taken, with what and with what settings. I found an excellent script (by JJmack?) which does what i want with one exception. The script (below) puts the info on the image starting on the top left (0,0) and I really want it to start on the bottom left (so that it looks like a caption). I have tweaked the original 5 lines of data down to one line, and have reduced the font size but I simply do not have the skills to amend it to add the selected text to the bottom left.
I was hoping that someone on this forum might be kind enough to help - not least because I am sure there are others who would want to the same thing? Or am I being a complete idiot and there is a simpler way to achieve what I am trying to do?
Grateful for any help
Michael.

Web Gallery CS4 Journal with Slideshow giving too much info
I have photos from a number of authors. There are also various functions for which I want a slide show for each. I would like the information on the left of the slide to give the Description (if present), and the person who took the photo.
No matter how many items I uncheck in various metadata panels, I still get:
Creation date
Date file modified
Camera make
Camera model
x resolution
y resolutin
resolution unit
Image size
Metering mode
File source
Focal length
Max aperture value
Flash fired
I have unchecked any of these that I have found ANYWHERE in Bridge, but cannot get rid of them. This information is definitely not necessary on the website where they will be posted.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these items. It is a real pain to try to remove them from the xml file when saved to disk (and there are a LOT of photos to process.
I am using OSX 10.5.7 and supposedly Bridge is up to date.Hi there!
I have found a much easier way to fix this, and you don't have to start over by building your web galleries in Photoshop. You just have to alter the code a little bit.
By all means, create your way cool web galleries in Bridge, but look in the "resources" folder that Bridge creates when it makes a web gallery. Inside the "resources" folder you will find a file called "group.xml". Open it in Dreamweaver or whatever you use and view the code. Scroll down until you see <item>. The next lines will contain all that pesky information you want to delete. For example, you might see <title>filename.jpg<title>. Simply delete the file name so that you end up with <title><title>.
That's it! Repeat for all the information you need to delete, or write in something better. Then hit F5 to refresh the code.
Even an artist like me can do it. No geeky talents needed. Enjoy.

More Usable Image Detail - Adobe Camera Raw Beats Canon DPP
Let me start with a question:
When you do your raw conversions, do you convert to an image that's got the same number of pixels as your camera's imager has photosites?
If so, why? I ask because I'm convinced that - with modern software - to get the most usable detail out of a raw image one should convert directly to an upsampled size. You might think that in trying to get "more megapixels from the same camera" I'm just fooling myself, but again and again when I look at the problem of maximizing the output from existing equipment (which, face it, is everyone's goal, no matter how good the equipment) I keep seeing that there is an advantage to selecting from the upsampled resolutions in Camera Raw. Of course, the computer must be up to handling the additional data.
In actual terms, my Canon 40D has 3888 x 2592 photosites (plus some guard pixels around the edges) making 10 megapixels, yet I find converting to 6144 x 4096 (25 megapixels) to be advantageous - ESPECIALLY when I use my sharpest lenses.
I happened to be doing a head to head comparison between Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Canon 50mm f/1.4 lenses, and the difference between the two appeared pretty subtle - UNTIL I converted to the aforementioned upsampled resolution, and then the more expensive f/1.4 lens clearly stepped ahead. There was simply extra detail I hadn't been seeing clearly at the native pixel size of the camera's imager, but which stood out clearly at the larger size.
This reaffirmed my previous observations that conversion directly to upsampled resolutions in Camera Raw brings out additional detail.
This screen grab shows part of the converted image, as produced by DPP and Camera Raw, both at 6144 x 4096 pixels as produced by the converters and displayed at 100% zoom. Note that the detail (e.g., in the terrain) is finer and more real looking in the Camera Raw conversion, while the DPP image seems to have more sharpening artifacts.
If you're interested in experimenting to see how much detail you can lift out of this same image, the raw file is here:
http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/temp/IMG_5400.zip
I don't have a copy of any other converters, for example Capture 1, to see how they'd do.

I hope that Noel will offer results that compare the Canon RAW in ACR with both resolutions as well.
Not sure I follow you completely... Just to be clear, can you lay out what "both resolutions" means? I'll be more than happy to go through different processes and present comparison images - I just want to be sure I understand just what you're asking for.
Oh, and you're right - some subjectivity necessarily will appear here. I might just like the "look" of one process while you prefer the "look" of another.
Lastly, one of my workflows involves sharpening images with my own fractal sharpening actions, and I am testing to see which converter process output produces the best result from that as well.
-Noel
I had to read that twice to make sure I knew what it meant!
What I am trying to say is to show the results of both converters in the native resolution and the 25M upsampled.resolution.
On another note, I have been playing around with the details of noise and sharpening in DXO and ACR, looking at 300%. It's both good and bad. If you are willing to mess with the ACR settings at 300%, then ACR has the edge, even comparing to manual tweaks in DXO. They do correctly optimize, however, except that point isn't as good as ACR. The depressing point is all the tweaking to do on an individual basis. Can you imagine tweaking 100 or more images that way? Then you get to move over to other corrections.
We are splitting tiny hairs here, and the bottom line is if you are going to make 30x40 prints from a given file, you may want to use ACR all the way and bite the bullet. If the Auto corrections for the lens employed in ACR is well done, as it seems for my Nikon 18 to 105, the workload is relaxed.
Finally, the ACR corrected image will need final sharpening at higher values than the DXO, and at that point, they come together a bit more...sharpening anomalys and all that.
The final fuss levels takes me back to my 8x10 days, where these kinds of determinations (max quality level) takes place under the focusing cloth, and deliberate selection of POV is carefully considered. Today, it's in front of the monitor. But instead of a few sheets of film to process, we have 100's to do.
I thoroughly enjoy working with the files on the computer, but not so much having to deal with less than optimum technical details right out of the camera. Barrel distortion? Hasselblad was not satisfied with the "normal" corrections in it's general optics, which were damn good, so came out with the 100mm Planar that was awesome! All they gave up was max aperture, and picked the FL at a value that provided for the best corrections. So I recall anyway.
Why should we be required to do these kinds of post corrections? Digital editing involves throwing away information, and ther appears to be enough so that correcting these deficiencies still gives a wonderful image. Just imagine what it would be like if all you need to do is to open the file and adjust values to taste, with all that information density available exclusively for that part. You don't even need to use a focusing magnifier!
Gotta run!

Photoshop CS4 won't open RAW files
Photoshop CS4 will not open RAW (.CR2) files. I have tried what is listed on Adobe's website (checking versions, uninstalling, reinstalling). Nothing has worked. It still gives me the error message: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I am using CS4 on a 10.6.6 Mac OS with a Canon Rebel XS. I currently have Camera Raw 5.7 installed.
Does anyone have any answers ?
Thank you,

ExtendScript CS6 doesn't handle GPS data properly
I prefer to work in Photoshop and Bridge, rather than Lightroom. I am currently using version CS6 on Windows 7 x64. I occasionally need to update the title, description and/or GPS information of a photograph. (I have many photographs that predate GPS systems.) I also maintain different several JPEG versions of each photograph generated from a base PSD with different cropping and resolutions that are intended for different purposes. I wrote a Bridge script to check and update the metadata of all versions of one or more images in a batch after updating PSD metadata. The script works very well except for the GPS latitude and longitude data.
The problem is that using the XMPMeta object that comes with ExtendScript Toolkit 3.8.0.13 (the latest version, I believe) the GPS coordinates are returned as string data in an "Adobe format", e.g. “35,24.3467N”. This format does not always accurately represent the underlying EXIF data. (I have also written my own script for getting and setting the GPS data in Photoshop.)
Furthermore, comparisons between PSD and JPEG formats are impossible because XMPMeta.getProperty only returns up to two decimal places for minutes when querying a PSD file, whereas it returns up to four decimal places for JPEGs. I have checked the actual EXIF GPS data for a PSD image and a JPEG image generated from that PSD with EXIFTool and the data is identical, but XMPMeta.getProperty returns “35,24.3467N” from the JPEG and “35,24.35N” from the PSD. Setting GPS coordinates using four decimal places produces the same EXIF data for both PSD and JPEG images.
The English translation of the “Exif Version 2.3” standard description for GPSLatitude states:
The latitude is expressed as three RATIONAL values giving the degrees, minutes, and seconds, respectively. If latitude isexpressed as degrees, minutes and seconds, a typical format would be dd/1,mm/1,ss/1. When degrees and minutes are used and, for example, fractions of minutes are given up to two decimal places, the format would be dd/1,mmmm/100,0/1.
It is clear that XMPMeta.getProperty does not always return a string that accurately represents the original EXIF data and it can be inconsistent between PSD and JPEG images.
Is there some way to obtain an accurate representation of GPS data using ExtendScript?
...JimI have seen some Photoshop Scripts on the Web the retrieve and use the exif GPG data. But from what you write I would think your doing the same as those scripts do. Something like this:
// Open Map from GPS Location.jsx
// Version 1.0
// Shaun Ivory ([email protected])
// Feel free to modify this script. If you do anything interesting with it,

Has anyone gone from a camera similar to the SX200 to the G15 or G16 and what have you thought?
I have the SX 200 and am not satisfied with the reaction time.
I am looking into the G16 but am reluctant to spend $450 on it
not really knowing if it is worth it.
Has anyone gone from a camera similar to the sx200 to the g16 and was
it worth it?
thanks
KarenI assume you're shooting his swing which is a form of action photography. If I'm right the best way to improve your results is to improve your technique, which costs nothing but takes a bit of thinking & practice. Thinking because you need to understand what settings fit the situation & how to set the camera to them. Technique comes into play when it comes to holding the camera STEADY, which is rarely done while using the LCD to frame the shot if hand holding. I don't own either of your choices but have a G9 which I've used for years but mostly as my underwater camera but even it would be an improvement over your SX200. The SX200 has a "slow" lens (f3.5 max aperture) while the G16 has f1.8 which is twice as fast (requires half the light all other settings being the same) which means under the same lighting conditions the G16 will use a shutter speed that's twice as fast as the SX200 would. Right now you only get 1 FPS (frame per second) while the G16 can do from 6 to 12 FPS depending on settings & having good light. More importantly it has a viewfinder (electronic) which allows you to hold it against your face to frame & time the shot AND keeps it more stable. You would however loose some of your current lens reach because the G16 only has about 1/2 the telephoto reach.
If you take the time to read these articles I've wrote for a couple of other forums I belong to it might help you understand why things work the way they do & why developing technique is the key to better photos.

-- press any key --Thanks Tony,
Yes the supplied profile works - in my test shots it corrects distortion and vignetting nicely - but it is a pain to have to pick the proffile by hand for each shot.
My real issue is Lightroom not correctly identifying the lens and listing it as "Unknown" in the meta data. Was hoping there was a way to teach lightroom to recognize it - or a config file to hack to make it recognize the lens.
For testing puposes I changed the raw format of my Pentax from DNG to PEF but got the saame result.
Anyone else have ideas?

Bridge - Exposure Camera Data (Exif) metadata display problem
I'm working with raw files with thumbnails displayed in Bridge Content. In Bridge preferences > Metadata I have Exposure and Exposure Bias Value checked on. (These are the first two lines in the metadata panel.) When I select a raw file in Bridge the Exposure and Exposure Bias Value metadata are displayed in Bridge Metadata panel as expected. When I open the raw file in acr 7 and make some edits, click Done in acr and return focus to Bridge, the Bridge thumbnail is updated but the Exposure line in Bridge metadata panel disappears -- the Exposure Bias Value is the first line of the metadata panel. If I clear the settings, the Exposure line and data return to the metadata panel. I also have 'Exposure' selected for one of the additional lines in thumbnail metadata, where the exposure data is correctly displayed even when the exposure metadata line is not shown in the metadata panel.
I do not see this problem in pscs5 with acr 6.7 beta. Is there some setting I need to check or is this a bug?For anyone who may find this post wondering why they can't see the specific EXIF data for each photo... "Show Metadata Placard" may be what you're looking for. Click the drop down at the top right of your Metadata panel and tick "Show Metadata Placard." This will display a panel that looks like the info. panel on your camera (shutter speed, f-stop, iso, white balance, etc.).
I had to figure this out after getting frustrated by the fact that Camera Data (Exif) in the Metadata panel only shows the "Max Aperture Value" of the lens instead of the aperture value that you actually shot.
