- Calibrated my monitor for the first time and now everything looks yellow??
Nothing is wrong. That's what a correctly calibrated screen looks like. Most monitors ship far too blue and far too bright out of the box, and you've spent years getting used to that. 6500K (D65) is…
Post #2, in Editing & Software - Six months printing from the GFX100S II, a few notes
That tracks with the math. A3 at 300ppi needs roughly 17MP of actual pixels, so anything past that at A3 is cropping headroom, not visible detail. The variable people skip is the paper profile. A…
Post #2, in Fujifilm - RawTherapee or darktable for X-Trans files, honestly?
Exposure, filmic or sigmoid (pick one and stick with it), color calibration for white balance, color balance rgb, local contrast, denoise (profiled), lens correction, and crop. Add the masking tools…
Post #5, in Editing & Software - RawTherapee or darktable for X-Trans files, honestly?

You're not doing anything stupid. This is the single most common editing problem there is, and the darker months make it worse. Two things are going on. First, your screen is far too bright for the…
Post #2, in Editing & Software - R8 Mark II finally gets IBIS and a joystick. Retro styling yay or nay?
Shoot at 1/125 anyway.
Post #13, in Canon - R8 Mark II finally gets IBIS and a joystick. Retro styling yay or nay?
IBIS will help with your hands. It won't help with your kids moving. At 1/60 indoors you're probably getting both. Worth knowing before you spend $1,900. Easy test tonight: put the R8 on a table or…
Post #3, in Canon - Lightroom 'Prompt to Edit', has anyone actually got it yet?
Right up until a client's face looks slightly not like their face. Then they will.
