Would any Aperture users like to help me with some input here? I'm having a hell of a time getting pictures imported as I shot them on the camera. I'm using a SanDisk Extreme III card, a Pentax K200D, and a MacBook. Problem is when I import my pictures, all the color profile information is stripped out of the files. So, for example, if I set the color settings for Landscape, Natural, B&W, etc, I still get the raw image, no color profile included, when I import them. Aperture seems to remove this information. The pictures playback fine on the camera. I've tried with every combination of file format. DNG, and PEF, with SRGB and AdobeRGB. JPEG keeps the settings, but I would prefer not to shoot in JPEG just to have this capability. Does anyone know what's going on here?1 1 Equipment MakePENTAXCamera ModelPENTAX K200DCamera SoftwareK200D Ver 1.00Sensing MethodOne-Chip Color AreaFocal Length (35mm Equiv)82 mm1 1 1 Pixel CompositionUnknownImage OrientationTop, Left-HandHorizontal Resolution72 dpiVertical Resolution72 dpiImage Created2008:11:28 21:54:10Exposure Time1/10 secF-Numberf/0.0Exposure ProgramManualISO Speed Rating800Exposure Bias0 EVMetering ModeCenter Weighted AverageFlashNo FlashFocal Length55.00 mmColor Space InformationsRGBImage Width3872Image Height2592RenderingCustomExposure ModeManualWhite BalanceAutoScene Capture TypeStandardContrastNormalSaturationLowSharpnessNormalSubject Distance RangeUnknown1

Anyone own a lensbaby? Do you like it? Too artsy and nooblike for /p/? I want one but I don't know if it is worth the $150-250 price tag for such a gimmicky effect.

please could all those that are defening lensbay post 1 good picture taken with one. i have yet to see one that doesn't just look like something that would come out of one of those free image editing softwares you get with pc magazines.. I will completely stand corrected if i see one that i feel is not like i described above

I checked the samples and Flickr. So pretty much what the Lens Baby does is have a sort of 'zoom during exposure' look to it? Like, one part is in focus and the rest is completely not, except you can focus anywhere on the frame. Is that it?

I'm not understanding the selective focus part.. can't you just do that with a very fast aperture? And then use Photoshop to do a motion blur around the part in focus? I don't get it :/

you dont want to use photoshop for that.
i dont even have photoshop installed but i have it, i rather a more natural affect, and if a damn lensbaby does it for you, than thats pretty B.A.

My crop was better. Also the contrast looks retarded and unnatural. The cropped version was the best you'll get out of that photo. Just think about the critique next time you're out taking photos.

Ok /p/ I'm interested in buying a camera and becoming an amateur photographer, I have no experience in photography and have no camera but am looking to buy something less than 400$ to start off. Any tips on a good starter camera which is actually worth the money and how I could learn about the lens etc and how to be a good photographer? I am considering taking a photography class at my career center next year so i would like to know some basics, thanks.1 1 Camera SoftwareAdobe Photoshop 7.01 1 1 Image OrientationTop, Left-HandHorizontal Resolution72 dpiVertical Resolution72 dpiImage Created2005:04:20 16:20:56Color Space InformationUncalibratedImage Width951Image Height7191

A good option is always to get a film SLR. You get get a good one for probably less than $50 and this would be a good way to learn the ins and outs of photography. If you're set on a DSLR there are some relatively cheap cameras out there. Nikon D40, Canon Rebel XT, Olympus E500 or 510. You can get one of those with a kit lens for around 400. If possible I'd recommend buying just the body and getting a prime lens instead as that would be a faster lens for you to experiment with.

>>303354 Alright thanks, the film SLR sounds good to just try out and see if i like for pretty cheap. Preciate the help, i think i might get the prime lens like you said with the body.
