Symbiostock - Technical Support / Re: Processing Error?
« on: June 23, 2013, 14:56 »
I have the same problem happen to a few of my images.  I manuaaly created the thumbnails and ul them to the proper directory

This is not good solution. When someone buys your image (smaller than large), it is resized and sent. The same functions are used for such resizing, so if problem happened during processing, it may happen when resizing and sending to buyer.

I assumed these were the thumbnails, and I can't see how doing the thumbnails would effect anything

Some of you must work for some strange companies. I can't imagine working somewhere where they didn't buy the software that they needed to run their business.

Many of my customers when Vista came out did not upgrade to it, they stuck to their XP machines. HP and Dell actually had a downgrade option from Vista to XP. Windows 8 is now suffering the same, people are sticking with Win 7. If a piece of hardware or software continues to perform its duites why fix what is not broken.

I downloaded the PSM update, and I'm unable to use it because it now requires lightroom registration, which I'm not interested in.  Is there another viable keywording/IPTC editing program that's free?


Do you mean lightburner instead of lightroom?

thank you for posting this pug in, just what I was looking for.

I'm still on CS4 and it's fine with me for what I need. I'll upgrade to CS6 in a couple of years when it's nice and cheap and then I'll just use the heck out of that version for the next 10 years. After that, well, I'll figure that out when I get there.

I won't be subscribing to software usage. Just doesn't feel right to me.

I just tried to install an old cs2 on a new Mac laptop and it wouldn't install saying the new osx won't install programs for power pc for macs which I found ridiculous.
Who knows, in a couple of years, when apple creates another osx, they might make it so that you can't install cs6 on it or some other crap.

That does not surprise me at all, the old power pc macs were based on a IBM chip not a Intel chip, complete different chip instruction set.

While this may not be a bug it is certainly a problem.  I would like the image options on the Symbiostock Images page to be changed.  The default option is currently "Trash".  It should be either edit or view.  See attached.

Can you tell me how you got the share this part on the screen?

Last night I installed the latest version to just test it, I went to process the first test photo and when to reprocess the photo and got the failed to copy error. What was the fix?

Cameras / Lenses / Re: Wideangle for canon
« on: May 11, 2013, 04:17 »
If you can afford it try renting the lens that you are considering. It will be cheaper in the long run if you do not like the results

Considering Scott get paid by Adobe to push their product why should this surprise us. Scott is getting jis butt handed to him on that site and he closed the comments. I stopped listening to Scott long ago.

This image was rejected for numerous reasons. I wont say the agency.

I fail to see the same problems as them. So as a once off, to confirm I am not going crazy, what do you think.

Focus is good, so its about exposure, lighting, composition, overall quality, etc.

Thanks,

The lighting is flat on the ferry, the sky is distracting,

My perspective...

I could not agree more, what happens later, are we be going forced to "rent" our cameras from Nikon or Canon

Software / Lightroom 5
« on: May 07, 2013, 20:36 »
I noticed that Lightroom 5 beta is out, anyone try it out yet?

144
On the website it mentions photoshop but not lightroom.

145
I remember years ago Microsoft floated this idea to its corporate accounts and the response was a big NO. I bet if a large number of the customers said that were not going to use this model it would go away

146
I can see the amount of photoshop sales going down, with this current plan you will be buying a new version every year.

147
I can see this subscription model opening up the market for a new company to come in.

Off Topic / Re: 24-70 vs 70-200 Lens for protraits
« on: April 29, 2013, 02:46 »
actually 85mm F1.4 and 105mm F1.4 are the professional choice for portraiture, F2.8 zoom lenses are ok for random stuff, travel, and weddings.

or at least that's the marketing mantra, i even sold a few portraits shot in F8 with crap lenses and bad light, in the end it's really all about the image, buyers just dont care which lens you used.

all this technical talk about using F1.4 primes holds true for corporate portraits and wedding in my opinion, for anything else we're free to debate forever about the pros and cons.

When I was in school so many years ago we called the 85mm a short portrait, the 100mm the med. portrait and the 135mm the long portrait. But we were also taught to use a 200 to 300mm to shoot tight portraits, it created graphic compression, the nose is made smaller and the eyes larger.

Hi MSG Folks,

Which lens do you like best for portraits and why? Or should I have both? The exact lens are the Canon EF 2.8 24-70 and the Canon EF 70-200 2.8 L IS II USM

Thanks.

Are you shooting with a full frame sensor or ?

who ever is going to use stolen images on their website or advertising will still use Google image or Tineye to get around the purchase of the images. Unless we check ever so often using the same tools we will all be in a losing battle
