All Polarizers are not equal
Maybe my eyes are going but the Hoya seems to leave more fine details than the Kase? My friend is an optician and as I understand it Hoya make most of the lenses for glasses in the world. Which is encouraging because I have always used Hoya filters (where I can) for as long as I can remember... -
Fun with the Fuji X ___!
Cetti's Warbler, from another trip to RSPB Fowlmere, yesterday. This is a very difficult bird to photograph. It is very secretive and normally hides deep inside trees and shrubs. In seven years of visiting Fowlmere, when I have heard this bird calling on every occasion, this is the first time I... -

Photographing, restoring old black and white photos
I have a client who wants about a number of old black and white photos, stored in an album, converted to digital and restored. I have no problem with the photography part (I'll be using my Fuji X-T4 and Fuji XF80f2.8 macro to do it. However, I noticed that there are a couple of software...- biglouis

Processing with DXO PureRAW 2
That's a really good workflow tip. On my next trip back to the reserve for more bird photography, I think I'll try that process first. Louis -

Processing with DXO PureRAW 2
Just a couple of more examples of applying the software to raw images, this time with the XF200 on the X-T4. I really think it can make a difference. I also should add that the new masking tools, especially 'select subject' and the ability to invert the selection to deconstruct the background... -

GFX + TSE 24 ii + LCC
As an aside, I also stopped using my GFX MF for client work as it is to Fuji's credit that the APS-C cameras and lenses do a fine job on their own. I suppose if one was asked to a Vogue cover it might be mandatory but in general the results for architecture from the XF8-16 and for objects from... -

Fun with the Fuji X ___!
ALCOMDEN STONES - Ponden, West Yorkshire, Fujifilm X-T4, XF18-55 (forgotten how good a lens the 'kit lens' is. (Btw, as I am travelling I had to process this on my laptop so I have no idea what it really looks like, viz quality). -
Processing with DXO PureRAW 2
Thanks for sharing the process. I must give it a try. LouisB -
Processing with DXO PureRAW 2
That's an interesting process. Are you doing the layers work in Photoshop? LouisB -
Processing with DXO PureRAW 2
Great analysis and input in this thread. Without appearing ingratiating, one reason why I like hanging out here at GetDPI. My feeling is that this is not a general purpose tool but one in toolbox to be used as and when appropriate. My toolbox includes LR (even better now with the new masking... -
Processing with DXO PureRAW 2
After Rob's comment I went back and looked at your images again but my feeling is that PR2 has brought out more detail than the original processed file. Believe me,, I am sceptical about all these add-on products. So, I am surprised at the results I am getting with PR2. LouisB
