Then paper's we'd print them on. In Photoshop there is such a thing as a contrast and or color saturation control. As well as a dozen other ways to do the same thing if you are a tad more advanced. Controls. All you do is movie the slider and you get as much contrast and saturation as you'll little heart could ever desire in a color shot. Or hue or a half dozen other paramiters. For every color. Its rare with color nowadays shooting digital that I don't get in the end EXACTLY what I want out of my color. Its less up to lenes any more and of course not film and its not camera and or camera senor... The color result you get. We have total control now. If we have a handle on our software. Are you reds a little week on a certain shot? Grab the red color slider and make them stronger! Would I not have to move that slider if I was shooting Canon or Leica? I don't care! I'm in there moving sliders anyway. Tweaking my shots to perfection in my own imagination. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: John McMaster <john at mcmaster.co.nz> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2012 06:59:22 +0000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Kodak just killed all E6 > > I am not slighting them, just questioning that PhotoShop can replace them > in > 1.4 seconds.... > > john > ________________________________________ > > > I use all three formats, in B&W, and plan to continue using them for a long > time. > > Color is another matter. > > > On Mar 1, 2012, at 11:07 PM, John McMaster wrote: > >> Sheet, medium format and 35mm - when will they be used again? >> >> I got rid of my valuable film stuff a decade ago :-( I thought I may use >> it >> again, but film costs (in NZ) and improvements in tonality (MF) but not >> detail has put me off. >> >> John >> >> -----Original Message----- >> >> I don't have a large menagerie of film cameras. >> I have maybe half a dozen.. >> >> -- >> Mark R. >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ >> >> >>> >>> So why do you keep your large menagerie of film cameras? >>> >>> john >>> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> >>> I can with a flick of my wrist in Photoshop make any image I want have as >>> rich a color palette as I'd ever dream of.
