OK so regarding the footage it wasn't shot in 1980, the date just wasn't set on the camera! However it might as well have been as it was just a very low quality camera and shot in bad lighting. The only reason I care is that the footage is of someone dear to me who has passed on. The video ai...

Hey all. So long story short, I have some old really crappy video shot i low light and low res. The whole image is green due to the bad low light quality. And im not expecting wonders here by any means but after Video AI telling me it was going to take most of my life to slightly improve the...

Yes, it's the stupid question of the day! So now I have shown myself up as a numpty I shall ask again. Are direct screencaps from video files considered the same as normal photos and be treated as such when editing or should they be approached differently? I have a large amount of old hi8 and...

Cheers. I have tried video enhance but it is so time consuming and as noted by a lot of folk in various places it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. The hard work has been done already regarding the actual video files, it's just finding the best solution to making the most of the...

Yeah it's certainly not a one click solution. I lost some photos but they were still on my Facebook page so tried with those it done an OK job so at least I had something. But I just don't know what it is with video screenshots. Even with very low res photos it does SOMETHING, even if it does...

So I have been using Topaz new software Photo AI recently and although it ranges from incredible to awful based on what you feed it I have noticed that it does very little with the silly number of video screenshots/screencaps. I have quite a few from older hi8/digital8 tapes that have been...

Thanks guys

Well the flash will be purely for fill purposes, certainly not as a main source. Just want a bit of catchlight and to lift the shadows.

Thank you all for your replies. All been taken on board and will now get the mrs and the kids to have a test run. :ty:

Ok, thankyou. So when using commander mode and using the pop up to trigger a speedlight are there generally acknowledged limitations? Say the speedlight and and pop up were directly visible to each other what kind of distances can I expect between the two? Do outdoor conditions affect its...

Sorry, I have another quick question. When off camera using Commander would the speedlight need to be in Manual mode? I presume TTL does not work using commander mode?

You guys are awesome, thanks for the help. Will head over to youtube now then as commander mode is something I have not experimented with yet.

Sorry, its a D7100

Soooo I am scratching my head a bit. My parents want to get some nice group shots of my family when they are all together in a few days down on the beach. Ok cool. I really want a nice depth of field so want to use my nifty fifty at 1.8 and I will be using aperture priority.So here is the...
