Over the past couple of days i've had an issue with how my photos are looking in any type of photo software. It started in my camera software (ViewNX2) where the images were showing up with really high contrast, then photoshop displayed photos with a particularly warm white balance, which if...

I was recently looking into online companies that can handle the printing and print orders for me, I have only just started thinking about changing my pricing structure to sell prints whereas before I let go of the digital files. I was checking out smugmug but am concerned that they currently...

Probably a blindingly obvious question with a really basic answer, but how do you know the value of your equipment? Like how much each thing is worth? So, camera, lenses, flash etc. etc. Need to know it for insurance purposes :)

I have tried unplugging it and plugging it back in. I'll do the re-install. Also, the pen itself is being recognised, the orange light comes on but nothing happens on the screen the mouse just stays put. It's still working fine to touch though, it works as a mousepad and all the functions are...

I have a bamboo pen + touch and for some reason it's just stopped working? I searched for help online but I only came across people who had problems with just the pen tip but the eraser worked fine. Neither the pen tip nor the eraser work on mine and i'm really confused as to what's wrong...

This is what I mean: http://news.deviantart.com/article/129556/#/d2yz5sx http://news.deviantart.com/article/129556/#/d2yz5c4 They're both just rough print outs so they obviously look a bit crap, especially the second one as there's a white border and massive gap so the photo is really split...

I'm glad it's not just me having trouble, I thought maybe i was just totally missing something blatantly obvious. Will try the DNG converter thanks :)

My photoshop is CS2 version 9.0, but like I said before I managed to open nef files in it once before from my D40x and it now won't do that. I don't know about ACR though, is that info in the same place?

sure thing, how do I do that?

no but the point is i can edit the nef file to an extent in view nx2, so adjust the exposure and WB and then save a copy as a tiff file which I can then open up in photoshop to do the airbrushing and things.

No that didn't work. Same message for an earlier model...going to try downloading all the codecs everyone has suggested, already got the nef one for view nx2. also, if I shoot nef and then convert to tiff in view nx2 to edit them, is there actually any problem with that? like how will it...

It's highly likely this is the case, I just thought that it's possible the .nef files were taken on my D40x in which case, yes that would definitely be the problem! I'll test it, take a shot on my other camera and see if it opens. I suspect this is very much the case though.

Thanks i'll give that a try.

Yeah I get that option and then photoshop comes up with a message saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" Also, I downloaded the codec and resintalled my camera software and it's opening/editing .nef files fine, but i'm still having to convert...

Is it just me that wants to throw my camera at a wall because of Nikons idea of RAW?:bang: I've shot in it before and I obviosuly know the benefits of shooting in RAW and I would all the time trust me....but because they compress them to NEF files I cannot open them on any of my software. I've...
