Mon, 6 March 2006 Exposure is the one element I've not spoken about as yet. I discussed histograms, aperture, shutter speed and almost everything else (I hope I haven't spoken about EVERYthing else, otherwise...), but somehow, I've forgot about getting the proper exposure. Well, here is my first discussion on this subject and I reveal a secret the pros use all the time!Show Time: 26 minutes, 9 seconds: Histograms Exposure Meters Light Meters Light Meter Prices Click here to listen to or download Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol2No10 in MP3 format.

Mon, 27 February 2006 Over the past weeks, I have received some listener email that have posed interesting questions. On this podcast, I answer some the interesting items and expand, in some places, where appropriate.Show Time: 30 minutes 28 seconds (14.3 MB) email from Roy: Could you quickly explain and or make a cast on explaining the lenses for these cameras, what does the mm mean and also the f number. My understanding it’s the size of the aperture? IS it the maximum size the aperture can go? email from Marcus: ...(sending shows on CD) I would like to encourage you to offer this great compilation to the masses. I think that's a great resource for someone collecting shows or having a slow internet connection (which is still quite usual here in europes non-city homes) and a good, innovative idea in general. I think you will have interested people buying your CD. email from Brian: I just wanted to say thanks for your hard efforts in creating those beautiful podcast. I just figured it would be nice to hear feedback from your fans to let you know that, "YES" we are listening and we love your program. email from Cesca: I've just recently got broadband and am discovering the wonderful world of podcasts. I'm slowly working my way through your 'Secrets of Digital Imaging' podcasts (3 so far), and finding them wonderfully accessible and useful. Maybe by the time I get through them, I will have evolved from an amateur to an 'advanced amateur'. email from Eduardo: I've been doing the same with my photography blog (in Spanish) and have found it to be manageable. http://www.mueses.com/blog/ http://www.mueses.com/photografia/ email from Mike: I just finished listening to podcast Vol 1 No. 9... Fake Photography... I disagree with your sisters point of view 100%. Just an opinion, but I think that the only way to capture a true moment in time is in your mind as a memory. Film can't even do that. I look at it like live music. If you go to a concert, you will never experience that "moment" on a live CD. Can't be done. I hope she is taking digital pictures now,(I know that was more than a half year ago when you did the interview) email from Ian: The question i have came to mind when you reviewed ACDSee: i wanted to know if tasks like levels, curves, unsharp mask... that are bundled in various applications all work as well as each other or whether performing the same tasks within photoshop will yield different results? also I wanted to know about the settings that appear in all of the inkjet (an presumably other) printer software interfaces. If i take a special image and spend hours editing it as detailed in your podcasts to optimise sharpening for the output image size.... then should i simply go through the settings in the printer software (that crop up as options in the print dialogue) and disable them? I'm talking about things like colour correction, digital flash, sharpness etc... Click here to listen to or download Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol2No9 in MP3 format.

Tue, 21 February 2006 This is the last show about color management for a while. We've covered most of the color management items through our interview with Tim Grey and so we end the series with this discussion of using color profiles with your printer. You have only four choices: 1) Stay with the printer manufacturer's recommendations of paper and ink, 2) Roll your own color profiles using Profile Prism, 3) Purchase profiles from someone else, and 4) Roll your own with Gretag Macbeth equipment. All four have their advantages and disadvantages.Show Time: 32 minutes 48 seconds: DDI Software - Profile Prism DDI Software - Qimage Chromix Gretag Macbeth - Eye-One Photo Click here to listen to or download Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol2No8 in MP3 format.

Sun, 20 November 2005 One True Media gift ideas for the holidays - photo books and DVD montages. I had an opportunity to speak with Mark Moore, one of the founder's of One True Media about their services. I believe they are on to something with the amount of digital images and videos shot annually. Their method of digitizing your "memories" works in two dimensions. The obvious is having scenes and still images available for you to edit and use to make books and DVDs with the software on their web site, but the other dimension, so well in my head after the catastrophes of the hurricanes, tornados and other horrors, is in completely saving all of your collections. That One True Media stores everything, and makes it available online, is fantastic "insurance".Click here to listen to or download Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol1No27 in MP3 format Click here to listen to or download Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol1No27 in Windows Media (WMA) format

Sun, 13 November 2005 Basic digital imaging workflow and Wacom graphic tablets are the features of this edition of the Secrets of Digital Imaging audio magazine. One of my listeners, Ross Bryan, asked me to explain some very basic workflow procedures to help those that consider themselves "basic shooters". Also in this edition, I feature an interview I had with Scott Rawlings of Wacom, the manufacturer of those fantastic graphic tablets. Whether you're a basic shooter or an advanced pro, you can do more with a Wacom tablet than you can with a mouse. Scott explains a few reasons why you should consider getting a tablet to help you with your image editing and I can tell you that if you do, you won't go back to using a mouse!Click here to listen to Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol1No26 in MP3 format Click here to listen to Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol1No26 in Windows Media (WMA) format I'd like to thank Scott Rawlings, Doug Little and Wacom for allowing me to speak to them at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York.

Sun, 6 November 2005 The Need for Image SharpeningClick here to listen to Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol1No25 in MP3 format Click here to listen to Secrets of Digital Imaging Vol1No25 in Windows Media (WMA) format Parker Plaisted discusses sharpening. Parker is from nik Multimedia, publisher of nik Sharpener Pro 2.0, nik Color Efex Pro 2.0, and Dfine® 1.0. In this interview, recorded at PhotoPlus Expo, Parker explains why all digital images need sharpening and how to go about it. This is an important topic for all of us using digital cameras and Parker takes the time to explain not only the inherent need, but also some of the reasons why differing amounts of sharpening are necessary, depending on your output. nik Multimedia's nik Sharpener Pro 2.0 is one of the best products available to ensure you get the ultimate punch from all your images without degrading the image. Listen to what Parker has to say about sharpening; it's a graduate course in the subject and no one describes it better. I'd like to thank both Parker Plaisted and nik Multimedia for allowing me to interview them while they were quite busy with the PhotoPlus Expo show.

Thu, 27 October 2005 Wildlife Photographer,Andy Rouse, discusses using RAW images and Pixmantec's new RAW Shooter Premium software.Show Time: 29 minutes 38 seconds Show Notes: Photo News Today All the latest photo news, 5 days per week. Canon PowerShot SD430 Digital ELPH Wireless digital camera Imagine taking a family portrait from the living room and then wirelessly beaming that image to a printer in the home office without ever having to leave your seat. Sound like magic? It's not. With the sleek new PowerShot SD430 Digital ELPH Wireless digital camera, consumers can get rid of that tangle of computer and printer wires around their desk and take pictures more freely. Perhaps the best thing about this new digital camera is not just that it's wireless, but that it's so easy to use. All the user needs to do is connect the supplied Wireless Print Adapter to a Canon PictBridge printer, such as the new Canon SELPHY CP510 or CP710 models, and press the blue lit Print/Share button on the back of the camera. Seconds later, the image is sent wirelessly to the printer and a photo-lab quality print begins to emerge. How's that for a magic trick?
