Kent DuFault

Thanks @tobie, @dahliaambrose, @kent, @reyers, @tersha and @patrickw! Much appreciated

Very nice @dchester1001 and welcome back @kent – you were missed.

@kent Thanks Kent, been away on a shutdown, so haven’t been online to see what is going on. Just back today.

Oh I love this! POTW contender @kent? 😉

@diripics, @dahliaambrose, @annehornsby, @admin, @davidc, @kent

WOW!!

Thanks for all the feedback. I’ve got some good ideas from all of you. That’s what’s so great about this site; all the sharing from everyone! =)

Thanks!!

Daniel, here’s my suggestion – like others, I cropped out the distractions on the left edge and the boat on the right.  I wanted to keep it dark but also see a glimpse of the kayak colors.   Sliders I moved:  highlights to -35, shadows to +50, white +47. blacks -28.   Then to Tone curves panel, I clicked on blue and increased a bit, then click…[Read more]

Thank you Beaky and Kent for the honor, and thanks to everyone for your kind words. I owe all of you a debt of gratitude for teaching and inspiring me every time I log on this forum!

all the best,

Bruce

I hadn’t noticed that @kent, but you;re right and I have no idea why that has happened. Nothing done in post that would cause that.

Ok, I have made a change to the config file meaning the login issue (ie. the site bumping you out) should be fixed. Of course I have no way of testing this other than my dummy account which seems ok now. So if you have problems please post here again and I will look for another solution.

@kent At the very least it should be running faster today. Please try in incognito again.

Thanks folks.

This is what makes diagnosing these things difficult. If @kent is having a problem but @frogdaily is having a fast site, then Frog’s experience would suggest the site itself is fine. Which leaves Kent’s computer as the main culprit…

HOWEVER, we have been doing work that MIGHT have corrupted Kent’s cookies or messed up the serve…[Read more]

the SB700 is going to be the first one i will have bought

In that case I’d certainly look at non-brand names Patrick. They are simply much, much better value for money.

You may also look at the Yongnuo  YN-685’s (I have those) but what I do not like about them is that they do not have a commander with hot-shoe on top, like theGodox X2T.

@kent   The colors are wonderful plus I like the unusual crop – It’s an image of your cat’s face but part of an ear is excluded and part of the body is included – just enough so we know she’s relaxing on a bed (or sofa?).

@kent Have you done a hard refresh?

@kent The Topaz Labs Sharpening software is very interesting. I am not sure if I love it or it’s a gimmick. It certainly works very strongly on certain types of images – noticeably different (I am hesitant to say superior) to an old fashion high pass filter in Photoshop.

Folks, as an experiment, I closed the forum to new registrations for the last week.

Have you noticed?

I don’t think it has had much of an impact on forum activity at all.

Now imagine if I was drip feeding high quality and engaged new members into the mix…

Food for thought…
