Saltwater and cameras

Over the summer I took my dog to the beach. It was his first time and he was very excited. A wave came at him and he yanked me into the water. My camera fell in with me. I ended up having to get a new camera (body only), but now I am having trouble with my lens. It won't focus automatically and I sometimes have to turn it.
Is it repairable or do I have to get a new lens?
I have an EOS Rebel T3i
Thanks for your help.

The T3i and it's kit lens are not weather sealed from water spray or dust -- so take reasonable precautions when bringing it along to the beach (Canon's does have bodies and lenses which are weather sealed, but the Rebel series doesn't include it.)
It may be repairable but Canon would probably have to evaluate it (you'd probably have to send it in -- they can't know why it's not working without getting into it.)
Depending on the lens and the extent of necessary repairs, it may be less expensive to buy a new lens. If this is the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens that comes with a T3i when purchased as a body/lens kit, then the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens is a nice upgrade over the original.
If you are trying to keep costs low, check Canon's "refurb" section of their online store. You can find it here: http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/lenses-flashes/refurbished-lenses
Note that the inventory of Canon's refurb store changes all the time -- the lens you want may not be available. You can also check used prices... some well-known retailers sell used gear and check-out the condition of the gear and provide a fair "grade" of it's condition in their description so you have an idea if the lens looks new, lightly used... or really beat up (I think they even have a grade which says it's non-working and useful for 'parts only').

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?

Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

What is the optimum core configuration for a new Mac Pro to process and manipulate very large (80 megapixel) images using PhotoShop and Camera Raw?

Hello:
I will be using creative techniques to process and manipulate a large number (hundreds) of very large (80 megapixel) images captured using a medium format digital back (Phase One IQ180).
Final output will be digital fine art imagery printed using an Epson 11880 at large sizes (up to 60 inches x ?), retaining the highest possible quality and resolution. I will be using Adobe CC PhotoShop and Camera RAW as well as Capture One software. PhotoShop filters will be used extensively.
The Mac Pro needs to be optimized for the above purpose and be useful for at least five years. I plan to max out all the other options (RAM, graphics cards, storage). Performance is more important than cost.
The few discussions I have found that mention optimum core configurations seem to lean toward 6 or 8 (but likely are not taking into consideration my need for manipulating a large number of very large files), so I am looking to this foum for opinions.
Thank you,
Kent

See if this helps

I cannot open photos in my Photoshop CS 6. I have been able to open Browser and Camera Raw, but not

I cannotg open photos in Photgoshop CS6. I can open them in Photoshop Browser and Camera Raw, but cannotg open them in Photoshop. Blue circle comes on for about three seconds, then changes to a plus sign, and nothing else happens. Please help. Adobe Photoshop is either unwilling or unable to help me with this problem.

Nobody can help you without some exact system info and details on what photos exactly.

"Edit In" Photoshop CC not working for RAW or DNG files after applying LR 5.3 and Camera Raw 8.3

I just applied the Lightroom 5.3 and Camera Raw 8.3 updates and now am no longer able to open RAW or DNG files into Photoshop CC. When I select a file and choose "Edit In" Photoshop, photoshop will launch, then nothing will happen. After 2 to 5 minutes, an error will popup in Lightroom saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched." An error I've never seen before. When I click "Ok", Lightroom will show that it's "preparing a file for editing" in the upper left, it will create and save a psd to disk and in the catalog (another new behavior), then it will open in photoshop. All other file types (jpgs, tiff, psd) seem to work/open fine between applications. No difference if I open photoshop prior to selecting "Edit In". Selecting "Edit In" other applications, like Viveza, work fine.
I tried first deleting preference files in both applications. No luck. Ditto for plugins. Notta. Eventually I completely uninstalled and fresh installed Photoshop, Lightroom, and Bridge from the cloud. Same deal...can't open raw/dng files into Photoshop.
I'm at a complete loss, dead in the water, with a mountain of editing work piling on top of me. Kicking myself for applying the upgrades, which I had been delaying for some time to avoid just such a cluster%#$. Ugh.
I'm on a PC running Windows 7 64bit.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In the normal situation, LR needs to see a PS installed for it to detect the Edit In PS option is possible, so if you uninstall both, then install PS, first, then LR. Of course with this release there may be some hiccup that requires installing either one or the other, again, but if you've uninstalled both and are reinstalling both, then install PS, first.

I can't open CS5 in windows 7 it tells me "Programm is locked or you are not legitimated". Bridge and Camera draw are working ok

I can't open CS5 in Windows 7. It tells me "application is locked or you don't have legitimation". Bridge and Camera Raw are OK.

Hi,
     thank you for your answer.
     The original Text photoshop showing me is the following:
     Konnte ein Arbeitsvolumen nicht öffnen, weil die Datei gesperrt ist
oder Sie keine ausreichende Berechtigung haben. Heben Sie den Schutz
der Datei mit Hilfe des Befehls 'Eigenschaften' im Windows Explorer
auf.
     Sorry I can tell you this only in German.
     After Installation the Version 64 Bit couldn't work because of this
sentence (Windows 7 has 64 Bit Version). The 32 Bit Version worked
without problems. The next day both versions didn't work because of
this Informatiom. Bridge and Camera raw workinjg perfect but photoshop
(CS 5) is blocked.

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto. I get the following error message:
Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because they could not be read [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
Thumbnails show up. LR just will not import them.
Any idea what is going wrong?

If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

Mic and cam not working

Mic and Cam won't work on iChat

Hello
I have a new mac pro, so I am a beginner! However, I know that the cam is working and that there is a function mic because when I can see it on My Display iSight. I see me, and I see the audio. But on iChat the camera and phone icons are not green and I cannot use them.
Moreoever, in google talk I do have a camera icon, but when I try and call people on google talk they cannot hear me! I can't find anything about the mic anywhere.
Please, anything you can do to help would be awesome.

Hi Cathjoy,
IF in System Preferences > Sound you can see the Sound Blue Bar in the Input Tab move at least half way (preferably 3/4) - then you need to check ichat in a couple/three of places.
1) In the View Menu of iChat make sure "Show Video Status" (And Audio) is selected (Ticked). (this shows the green Audio and Video Icons)
2) In the Video Menu of iChat again both Mic and Camera Enabled item should have a tick next to it (Selecting toggles it On or Off)
3) In the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section there should be a Microphone drop down and your choice here should match the one in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab and you should see the Green bar here move when you talk.
When doing 1) make sure the correct Buddy List is the "Front" Window (Your own icon may still display as a Video one if another Buddy List is set to Video in iChat 4 and iChat 5)

Mic and Cam issues

I tried to Skype with my family last night, and my mic and cam did not work. They did when I first got this computer (laptop). For some reason, they did not work last night. I could hear and see my family, but they could not hear nor see me.

You mean it Failed? uhmmm. It could be a hardware issue but try to reload your OS first and see if it rectifies the issue. (make sure you have a backup of your data ). See How to clean reload the BlackBerry 10 OS or BlackBerry PlayBook OS using BlackBerry Link
Goodlcuk!
Click if you want to Thank someone. If Problem is resolved, so that others can make use of it.

I am new to iMovies. When I make a video using the mic and camera in my Macbook Pro, the audio and video are not in synch. Very annoying. How can I fix this?

DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.
