Let's Talk About...sharpening

Anything on Cambridge Colour's website is mandatory reading.

For how my personal brain works, Cambridge Colour is the most accessible photography learning source there is.

Dave's workflow is pretty much mine pixel for pixel. "Save As" has filled multiple drives with various incarnations of my photos; I learned early to create multiple backup saves as I worked on images.

If it's an older Photoshop (one of the "normal" installed programs, not the current subscription model) you should be able to de-register on the current computer and install on another with the same license key. Check under the Help menu in-program - there should be a Deactivate or Unregister option. If it doesn't, uninstalling it should be enough to satisfy the license requirements. If you need the serial number you can install one of the many programs that will list your computer's software serial numbers.. I've used Belarc for years http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

This assumes it's not installed on a work computer or something that would have to be left behind. They also included the ability to install on 2 machines with many of their licenses.

For the current subscription model, I don't know how those operate but you should be able to install it wherever.

Not quite as bad as having to get a college degree There is always a point where you can run with what you've learned so far.

This topic is fascinating. I'm not always able to keep up with all the posts in the photography section, but when I *am* able to come in here I always come away having learned something (usually many somethings) new.

Heh.. that's the one I have, as well. I had to switch it from a hard drive that was failing to a new one, and the de-registering and re-registering was pretty painless.

It *should* work with 10. It works with 7, and I haven't heard of major issues yet with software not working on 10 that worked on 7. (I haven't really been keeping up with that, though, so I could be 100% wrong). It will more than likely be viable for at least another couple of years, and we don't have to upgrade the OS just because Microsoft says so. "Compatibility mode" works in a lot of cases, as well, for older programs.

Personally, I think there are too many people without reliable internet connections for cloud-only computers like the Chromebook to take over anytime soon.. so CD/DVD drives should still be around for a while I doubt there will be a license switch, as Adobe likes their money too much.

This is so far above my head I can't see it with magnification from here, but this seems the intuitive answer. Do we know anyone in the process of hacking Nikon's SDK? I know from CHDK that it was accomplished a couple of years back but I don't know where they are or what they've managed to free up.

Just a heads up. Went to download GIMP and my security blocked a trojan file and gimp also installed an unwanted computer cleaning programs. Needles to say I uninstalled GIMP and the rest of the stuff that came with it. Free GIMP isn't so free is it ? Now I have highlighted words all over the place for ads I can't get rid of

Not familiar with "custom install" but I did go to the GIMP web site and clicked down load.

I was thinking about this thread the other day when I was contemplating renting a D810 to see for myself if indeed the camera is as capable as it appears. A semi-local shop will rent for $148/week, plus $39 damage waiver, and $15 courier fee to a very local shop, total $202 for a week to check it out. It's fairly expensive, and adds to the cost of the camera if I decide to buy, but if it falls short of expectations might be worth it.
