whitemay 1 Help: Pending Executive still waiting
Wait it out. If you cancel and re-upload, it could still go back in the Pending Executive queue and then take even longer. It does usually take several weeks, so don't worry.

zofiap 3 iStockaudio: Marketing of iStock_Audio

Hi Guys,


I was just wondering about iStock's plans for marketing iStock_Audio. I subscribe to a few creative magazines and the photo side is always being advertised and promoted (free stock photos etc) and it got me thinking . . . is iStock planning something for us audio contributors? :) Can you give us the heads up?


Cheers


Zofia

Nice video here made intercutting between Red One, GH1 and 5D2. Looks like what counts is the shooter and the lenses.

jsnover 9 Designers: "Winter Holiday" Concepts

If you'll excuse a photographer intrusion, I wondered whether Christmas foliage - garlands of greenery - with ornaments would be usable?


Someone suggested Christmas Stockings - are they OK?


Last question: what about non-traditional trees with ornaments - say a small palm hung with Christmas baubles?

MikeCherim 13 Request New Content: NEED: Farm, organic, quaint...
I added a couple of those posted so far to the lightbox. Those not added aren't close enough to the mark. Hopefully this will help narrow the fields even further.

UPDATED INFO

Regarding the concept word vegetable, think more of the growing of them as opposed to the preparation or consumption of them. I do not need food isolations. Regarding animals, if the scene contains them, they should be but a very small part.

Thanks guys

GeorgeClerk 14 Submit Suggestions: Loupe everywhere
I love the fact that in the normal file listings (search results, browse recent etc) we can hover over files to see a good sized loupe thumbnail.

For me it'd be brilliant if the loupe was available everywhere that files are shown. For example, CN recent files, in our uploads listings, on thumbnails of related files that we link to on the file view page, on the newest uploads bit of the Vetta page etc...

I suppose there could be issues for users with limited bandwidth, but there's already the control panel option to exclude loupe view if needed.

If I remember right, the loupe was available from the small thumbs for the Punctum shortlist files, and it was great to be able to browse through them without loading up each page individually.

Eulenblau 16 Critique Requests: PHOTO: Can't find posterization. Help please.
/
/@Rob


Thank you very much for your help and your elaborate answer. Your explanation is very helpful indeed and very much appreciated.


There is no doubt parts of the image are underexposed and some fill light would have saved the shot. My post-production didn't fix the problem and the rejection was right of course.


What puzzles me is that I don't see the posterization in Lightroom and in Capture NX2 but I do in PS CS4.


This is my equivalent to your Lightroom screenshot.


When I display the image on 100 percent this is what I see in the Lightroom Develop module, this is what Capture NX2 is showing and this is what PS CS4 is displaying. Only PS CS4 is clearly showing the posterization.


All screenshots have been taken on the same freshly calibrated Quato screen displaying the exact same RAW file. I calibrated the screen using a ColorMunki and I understand the ColorMunki software is delivering the monitor profile to all programs alike.


So why are different programs displaying the same image differently?


Edit: layout

QShot 21 Video: Wireless Microphones

It al depends on how much you want to spend. For example Calumet have the following:


http://www.calumetphoto.co.uk/item/999-522K/


As long as you stay with UHF you should be Ok - but avoid VHF - there are too many things that interfere with it.


Another thing to consider is a good shotgun microphone that you can point at the speaker but is wired directly to your camera.

sidsnapper 22 Studio - Lighting / Props: Using Chroma Key background
Hi, Forget it, the green will bleed around the edges of everything, you will have a harder job cutting things out than if you shot them on white, buy a couple if strip lights and blow out the background.
