skydog · #1 01-04-2008, 05:05 PM

I currently use a Canon 30D...I'd like a Canon Mark III (once the focusing issues are resolved).

- A good scanner..I like the Epson V750 or Coolscan LS50...I have many old slides and negatives. Learning toward the V750. Comments?

- Masking software..Mask Pro or Fluid Mask

- Some training videos...looking at Katrin Eismann videos..

- ExpoDisc White Balance

Things to learn...
LAB color
Lightroom
Better use of Raw
Better use of light

Do you have a list?

Masking software. I got Mask Pro and tried the other one. I still do 99% of my masking manually.

So Swamp...what do you want in 2008 other than Mac virus protection and a Noles rebound?

LOL, Skydoggie! You crack me up! :-)

I can't think of anything I really need, but I may spring for a MacPro this year. I doubt I'll have to worry about any virus protection for it, cause I won't be installing anything Micro-scoff on it.

About masking software... Please have a look at AKVIS SmartMask.
It offers quick selection with "strokes" as in Fluid Mask as well as color (manual) selection as in MaskPro.

Cheaper than these tools and has good functionality.
