Thanks to Jeff and Kevin for one heluva dive into Lightroom’s local adjustments.
Your family has been through a lot. Sorry about your father in law but glad to hear about Debra’s resilience and also your reflection on what’s important for your life going forward. I imagine lightening your world of equipment is a result of all you’ve been through. Good article
I thought Kevin or someone on the photopxl team was going to post a review of both the Sony A7R4 and Fuji’s GFX 100. Has this been abandoned, did I miss it, or is they still in the works?
Great coverage of the iPhone Pro Max. Steve
Dave Thanks for your answer. I got a lot from it and more to think about. By the way MBP also stands for a disease Münchausen syndrome by proxy. The 7900 still turns out great prints. I also used Epson’s newer P5000 but I love large prints and to be honest there’s just not that big a difference to my eye. With some of the new papers the blacks( Dmax) are very deep and set off the rest of the colors on the page so I am still pleased with the 7900. It’s a testament to Epson that the machine is still up and running. I would dread hauling it out. S
I would like to use a laptop as my computer to send images to my Epson 7900 printer. I checked out the latest Apple laptop and the only color space on it was designated P3 and not my usual Adobe 1998. I currently use a BenQ320 SW display for printing and am very impressed with its abilities to manage color, but like I said I want to try out printing from a laptop. I know that many of you use a laptop and wonder if the new Apple is OK and can it use my Spyder 5 with Datacolor software to get a decent profile thats practical for printing. I hope for some answers from the Pxl forum before i pluck down over $3000 for another laptop. Also I am open to suggestions for graphics cards and any other advice to get this show on the road. One more question. Kevin did a wonderful extensive video on shooting and printing with Charley Cramer that is well worth watching. Kevin is that owned my Luminous Landscape or can we expect to see your video make the trip to PXL? Steve

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become.” – Steve Jobs
This quote from Steve Jobs, as well as the support of family, friends, and loyal followers from many years are what inspired me to create this new website that is dedicated to photography. There are a lot of websites featuring photography. Many are good; in fact, many have been created and run by friends of mine. That is probably what I like most about photography. You make a lot of friends with whom, more than anything else, you share a passion and love for photography in many ways.
photoPXL was created around a dinner table with friends. This site will be about the community of photography, a place where young and old alike can share their stories, learn about the art and craft of photography, and gain an understanding of what it takes to Enhance Your Vision.
photoPXL will publish articles about photography and look at the many types of cameras we use to take photos, ranging from smartphones to medium format systems. We’ll explore the many options for processing your images and focus on the art of printing. I’ve always felt the process of making a photograph wasn’t complete until I could hold it in my hands. Color profiles, papers and types of printers will be reviewed, plus so much more.
One of the most exciting features of the new site will be building a community using photographer profile pages. This will be a place where you can share your images with other readers and see what others are doing with theirs. There will also be a forum where you can ask questions and share your knowledge, further developing the sense of community.
We will not only feature articles, reviews and opinions, but will also have a YouTube channel with numerous training and technique videos.
On the main site, look for more visits with some very well-known photographers where we’ll share their vision in our series “Shooting with the Masters.” There will be exclusive, behind the scenes segments where we’ll bring you things you haven’t seen before.
Photography for me has always been personal. I can be really serious sometimes, working to catch a certain image, but no matter what I never forget to have fun. I want this site to mean the same thing for you and be a place where you can come and experience many photography-related topics and have fun while doing so.
All in all, you’ll be Enhancing Your Vision.
Please sign up today. We will not only notify you when we launch photoPXL.com but will also keep you posted on the progress we are making on creating this site.
Joining me in this adventure is long-time friend and videographer Chris Sanderson. Chris’s insight, creativity, skill and passion have been invaluable in propelling me forward on this journey. Debra, my wife, will be sharing her unique vision and artistic view as well as handling workshops and so much more. Michael Durr is one of the more creative and fun videographers I have ever met. We are fortunate to have him as part of the team. Plus, we will have many articles from a wide range of well-known and maybe not so well-known photographers. There is so much talent out there.
We are working hard to not only create content but also to build a robust site that can be expanded upon over time. Something dynamic, and evolving.
I truly hope you will join us in creating this new community. We look forward to your collaboration, contributions and guidance along the way.
