Which camera to photograph the paintings and then print postcards and greeting cards?

I currently have a PowerShot SD600, but maybe I need a new camera for my purpose. Those who would work for my application?

I paint with acrylics and the pintings out for between 1 ' x 2 ' and 4 ' x 4 '. I want to take pictures of them in order to have a professional printer to create postcards and greeting cards to sell in museums. The printer indicates that it will use a 1200 dpi printer. I really want the absolute best cards and the image that I can get.

Should what resolution I take photos, how can I be sure that I take photos in the correct resolution (or is it adjustable after the fact), and that carmeras would work for this? I have Adobe PhotoShop if it has no effect.

I would like to use the camera for this purpose for about 6 images per year.

I also sell houses and could use the camera for pictures of the housing list.

With regard to the price I'm willing to spend up to $600, if necessary.

Thank you.

If I were to try to do this on a budget...

The camera LENS is more important that the body... then I would seek to lenses. For this type of work, a macro lens will work better because they detail more high resolution capacity (even when you are not using them for close-up photography).

The camera BODY is less important. Your work is not in motion when she is photographed (it is not the sports photography or action) and this means that the features that are ideal for sports are not important for what you want to do. You don't have to worry about performance in ISO or noise because you get control lighting (and you need control lighting.)

An image will be generally well look at 300 dpi or more (even a little less than 300 dpi will look still good enough). It will not look as good in 150dpi and some laboratories refuses to print anything less than 100 dpi (even if you insist) because they believe you hate and requests a refund (even if you insisted that they print it at such a low DPI).

If your postcards are a size 4 x 6 "then a 18 megapixel print to 864 dpi (which would look fantastic). Even a 5 x 7 would look great. A size of 8 x 10 "would receive up to 432 dpi (which is always very well).

If it's only 6 photos per year and you would shoot them the same day AND you don't think you would use the camera gear for anything else THEN... either (1) strongly consider hiring a person for the job, or (2) consider RENTING the equipment if you can't find anyone to do it (just be warned that it will be tricky). You can rent equipment from places like LensRentals.com or BorrowLenses.com (and probably others I don't know about.)

Camera

Being budget minded, I would shoot it with a Canon T5 (18 megapixels - about $400 although if you get a refurbished unit you can get it for less). "Renovated" is about $200, but I see the store gun shows them as not in stock right now. You can also use a Canon SL1 (very slightly more expensive than a T5 but if you get a renovated body is $279)

Goal

A Macro USM Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 lens. It's the power of resolution in detail above in point lowest price available in the line-up. All other macro lenses are more expensive. It is $ 419 at most merchants of Canon, but I see you can get a refurbished copy directly from the Canon store at $319 (and it's in stock):

http://shop.USA.Canon.com/shop/en/catalog/EF-s-60mm-f-28-macro-USM-refurbished

Tripod

You will also need a tripod. For light work as a T5 and a 60 mm macro lens, a tripod Manfrotto 190 series would be ideal, but Manfrotto is a reputable tripods, so they will not be the thing cheaper than you can find (but they are quality). You will be able to find budget from companies like Slik tripods (not nearly as Manfrotto but it will be cheap.) I'm not advocating normally buy tripods 'cheap' because they break a lot and now that you buy a tripod to replace the broken tripod you bought to replace the tripod broke before this one... and at the point where to add it you could have come by purchasing the quality tripod from the start. Most of photo equipment is sustainable and does not need to receive the "white glove" treatment during the manipulation it - they can take a bit of a transition to tobacco and are proud to show their scars from the battle. But if you buy a tripod at low prices... they do not so good shots... Be gentle.

Cable tie

I would also get a long camera USB modem cable (the cable that comes with the habit of the camera is particularly long) and allows you to set up a laptop computer connected to your camera so that while your camera is pointing to your paint, you can set the lights while watching your computer screen. Search Amazon for "Attached USB Cable" and you'll see a lot of cables 15' that work. It must be 'USB type A mâle' at one end of the cable (it is the most common USB plug) and ' Male USB Mini-B ' on the other end. You'll notice brand cable 'Home tools' (about $37) and you'll probably also see the brand "Monoprice" (about $7). Guess who I bought? Yes indeed that cable $7 works just as well as the cable $ 37 (it's simply not painted "hunter orange").

A Safety Board: attach a camera, it is possible that someone (you, perhaps) could tripod on the cable modem service, shoot it is hard and damage to the USB port on the side of the camera. .... I use some Ribbon adhesive (adhesive tape is similar by the dint of... duct tape but duct tape leaves a VERY messy residue when you take it off and the tape adhesive comes off clean and does not leave a sticky, sticky mess, icky.) Plug one end of the cable to the camera, give yourself at least a foot or two of slack and the cable on the tripod of bands so that if someone goes off on this issue, he's going to shoot the tripod instead of the device.

Lighting

Normally, it takes thinking of everything that has any amount of "shine" to it as if you are shooting in mirror. If flash would be visible to you while looking into this mirror, then it has reflection will appear in your picture. For this reason lighting is normally left to the sides (and I said 'Coast' (in the plural) because you will need more than one.) If the flash is disabled on ONE side, while coast will get a stronger than the other side light and will cause lit image. You'll therefore need to balance the lighting have lights on both sides.

These fires are not necessarily photographic flashes (who would get expensive), but you probably don't want to use the daylight balanced lights.

Bob has already pointed out the tricky part... most of the paintings are flat on the surface (oils, watercolours) so as long as the light is off on the side, you will see no reflections. But acrylic have texture and you think that this 'texture' (since dired painting is brilliant) is little micro-miroirs to all sorts of crazy angles.

I have never tried acrylic of photography, but my father was a painter and I'm familiar with the behavior of the paint and can well imagine the problems this will create trying to photograph.

Circular polarizing filter

If the light source from an angle (closed on the sides), then usually a polarizing filter can reduce this light reflections. The EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens has a diameter of 52 mm front filter threads. This means that you may need to purchase a "Circular Polarizer" filter in diameter size 52mm to deal with Reflection.

You can find inexpensive circular polarizers, but these are sometimes of very poor quality and create alterations in wobbly color. Large filters thread names are B + W the Hoya "PRO1" brand series filters (budget fact Hoya filters too - line PRO1 which are good filters Hoya).

Rental

BTW... If you want to go nuts with the resolution of the camera and you plan to RENT equipment rather than buy it... my camera recommendation would be to move to a Canon 5 d and a Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro lens. The 5 d is a 50 megapixel sensor resolution 8688 x 5792 pixels. A 4 x 6 "print 1448 dpi format (well over 1200 dpi of resolution of your printer). Format 5 x 7 ", it is still 1241 dpi. A 5 d is not cheap (it's a $3,600 for the body 'only' camera). So, I would not buy one to shoot 6 images per year... but I sure would rent one for work.

Is it possible to group objects, which are placed in the project and then hide them with line a single action-script? THX in advance, Philip

I work in CP 9 and I'm going to try the following: the user must be able to make ALL invisible or visible to highlight boxes by clicking on the corresponding button on the first page layout. Thus, for example, if the user does not want the highlight boxes appear, click on "Hide the boxes" and boxes are hidden for the rest of the project. I managed to get to this point for help... but it is still a lot of work for me to manually enter all the different names of these boxes in the action-script. So my question is: is it possible to group objects, which are placed in the project and then hide them with line a single action-script? THX in advance, Philip

Actually... releasing the CpExtra HTML5 widget, it will be possible.

It has a function called @syntax that allows you to perform an action (for example HIDE) automatically on any object throughout a project of Cp9 simply based on the name of the object.

So for example, if you named all the boxes to highlight you want hidden this way to have the suffix _HideMe and you say CpExtra you want all of them hidden if a user variable is assigned to a certain value, then that is what will happen.

That's the good news. The bad news is that the widget is still in BETA final tests at the moment, so you may need to wait a bit before you can realize your idea.

Satellite A200 PSAE3: Windows XP Home edition do not recognize the modem and sound card

Hi all!

I can't understand what is the problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAE3)... I downloaded all the files on the right of the Toshiba Download Center, updated the BIOS to WXP but XP still not find any sound card or any modem. He isn't finding a device with a "?" question mark on this...

There are so many different drives, I tried, but no one has changed the situation...
Anyone has any advice?

Thanks in advance,

ciroopi

Well, I found the solution to the problem! :)

so, I write these verses down for anyone who might know the same problems:

as usual, strictly follow the 'Toshiba A200 Installation sequence' found on the TOshiba driver download page.
as he [I jumped no useful installation programs]

I advice restart you each time you install a component, in order to have under control the whole Exchange.

1 Windows XP Service Pack2 (RTM) - of course ;) -.
[...]
DirectX V9.0c 5 (SP2)
Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.4036 6
[...]
10 Microsoft .NET Framework V1.1.4322 (SR1)
11 Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment V1.6.0
12 Intel ICH8M Chipset utility V8.2.0.1014
13 Intel VGA driver 6.14.10.4833 965GM

Note that driver VGA, the ATI we too, was also a difficulty - in fact, I don't know what it would have done - for the AUDIO sound card.
You may have read in the installation dialog box.

Moreover, I do not know if you must install the sun java, .NET framework and WMP version that displays the list, versions that are OLDER than the most recent, but just to be sure, download the form versions THAT NET.

at this point, you should see "unknown PCI device" in the unknown devices in the system control panel.

14 Realtek ALC268 Audio Driver V5.10.0.5433

for realtek, I suggest you download the driver from the zip from the realtek download page; Once extracted from the latest version for desktop or a temp directory, I suggest to install before all the patch KB888111 you might find in the \WDM_Rxxx\MSHDQFE.

then restart.

for now, you should not see the "unknown PCI device" no more where it was before, but under the "system devices", like her, where you could also end the "Intel PCI Express Root Port", "Pci Bus" and so on [ja? m saying this to you because ja? m Italian aid of XP, and I don't remember the exact English names...].

Now, install the audio drivers by using the setup.exe that you find in the \WDM_Rxxx directory.
It should reinstall the kbfix and install the new drivers.

Reset.

After the reboot, nothing happens, but...

.. see the "unknown pci device" menu - here? m not sure the name but the one with the exclamation mark in the 'system devices' - select 'Properties' and then 'driver' and 'update driver'. Let XP find the NOT on the net. tell XP to look for "Video and Audio Controller, game" [you know, the English entry that usually stands for device audio and similar] and he must find a CORRESPONDING driver, which is the "MICROSOFT UAA BUS DRIVER for HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO".
If XP don't select this driver by itself, you should look for "\windows\system32\DRIVERS\hdaudbus.sys".

After that, XP automatically detects ALL audio devices and install the correct drivers.
In addition, it now the entrance to the modem, modem to install the separate driver, that we could find in down in the "list system", like her, on the Toshiba download page.

So, hope this helps!

See you soon,.

Can I change the processor and graphics card on my acer aspire?

Hello

Doesn't look like as you can change the processor. Limits to the motherboard. But there is no onboard video. If you get a low profile graphics card and added it to the computer, it could work. But because the computer is an older computer, you will not be able to put in the last and best. I would like to talk to a local technician to see what is available in your area for this computer.

Impossible to use the TV and computer screen at the same time

I hooked my TV screen until my computer tower. I also have a separate computer screen. I set up two monitors in the display screen.

However I can either use the TV as my computer or my computer screen as the screen. I can't use both, I have to make a choice. Is it possible that I can have it operational both at once? I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

(The problem is that my TV screen is more than 3 meters of my mouse, and if I can use it is a bit difficult. I intend to subscribe to BBC iPlayer and want to watch on my TV Samsung big)

OK I solved the problem. What I did to go in my NVIDIA via the Control Panel, then choose the display settings in the menu on the left. Then, he would come with my two screens. I right click on the number 2, which is my main computer, and then in the menu that came I took the clone and then clicked on apply. So now, the two screens are working.

I tried this before I sent it but no menu came have no idea why!

IMac locked out after changing the sharing and HD permissions

Made a big mistake with my iMac internal sharing and permissions of HD. I was experimenting with sharing and permissions of the HD info panel section in the administrator account. In this article, I've changed the 'everyone' naming 'no access', but in doing so, it froze the machine. Nothing did not. I tried to restart, but after that the Apple logo and progress bar appears briefly, the screen went white.

I tried to make a backup using Time Machine, but when the time came to clear the HD and replace it with the backup TM, I got an error message saying that the system could not erase the HD. I tried to go into Safe Mode, but he continues to send me the recovery mode.

I have a boot disc separate I made in Carbon Copy Cloner who is somewhere else right now but I can get, and maybe I can boot from that and do a total deletion of the internal HD and start again. But I can do in the meantime? It seems that a configuration option has locked me completely out of the HD to the iMac.

Thank you

Ed

To keep track, I tried something different. I used the option to reinstall OS X when the pane of the utility is on the rise. My iMac then crossed the download process and reinstall OS X. After 40 minutes, when he was all done, my machine is back with the connection, settings, and data in place. I didn't even do a time Machine reinstall data. Problem fixed.

Moral of the story is, don't play with fixed and permission of a lot!
