And the same to you & family!

We've had so many upgrades lately I'm afraid the upgrades have been coming more often than my printing sessions. Need to shoot more. (Mike- thanks for the GPS fix.)

Off the wall question but if I print a photo on my antique HP Laserjet, is there any benefit to having an icc file (if it's even possible) to map tones differently?

Very cool! No iPhone here, just Moto Android. It's interesting that "properties" in Windows file explorer also shows the correct values. It's probably one of those many programming oddities and reminds me of this quote from the movie Christmas Story-

Mr. Parker:
What is the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse?

Mother:
Ah... Victor! His name is Victor.

Mr. Parker:
How the hell did you know that?

Mother:
Everybody knows that!

Anyway, thanks! It's nothing critical and can wait for whenever. I don't usually link the phone GPS, though I can see where it would have been handy for shots when I go out hiking. Not enough $$ for a camera with built-in GPS.

Here's my Thanksgiving image, plus a screenshot of what I see in Affinity. I can also see the seconds if I use the Windows "properties" tab.

Not sure how to force those to be links with the spaces. Couldn't seem to make %20 or <> work.

Thanks,

For the first time I connected my phone GPS to my camera. The Lat/Long are definitely now in the image, including seconds. Qimage only reports zeros for the seconds, and the position shown in Google Maps is off by a fair amount, about the amount of the missing seconds! Any chance of getting better resolution in a future update? Do you need a file?

Also, it's worth it to experiment with the raw options. IMO, the best settings differ from camera to camera so far as sharpening, noise reduction and smart color.

Had a chance to try this out on a 2K monitor at work. Looks great, though you'd probably have to point out the details of what you did because I tend to miss the obvious.

My main is HD but I sometimes edit at work on a 3840 x 2160 and am seriously considering getting that for home. Way more better!

Oh great, now I need to look deeper.

And FWIW, I do find the out of gamut warning useful, along with the automatic perceptual/relative feature. If Adobe did do something different, I can understand why, though I don't use their stuff either. I don't worry so much about the dark areas, knowing they'll be some acceptable shade of "dark", as opposed to things like flowers and colored plastics, where a loss of separation in the tones can look pretty bad.

Hey, do you want me to put anything in the cookie jar for this? Seems like you spend a lot of time supporting everybody!

That's just fantastic, thanks! I assume it will only apply corrections to that lens and will ignore other lenses that would need their own corrections?

As an aside, I seem to shoot a lot of close-ups of straight sided objects at the full zoom, where the pincushion was driving me crazy.

Hi Mike,  I've uploaded a zip file of raw images:

DSC_1971.NEF - 24mm
DSC_1972.NEF - 28mm
DSC_1973.NEF - 35mm
DSC_1975.NEF - 50mm
DSC_1976.NEF - 59mm
DSC_1982.NEF - 70mm

The lens is the Nikkor Z 24-70 f/4 S-series.

Hopefully you can get them at www.conradhoffman.com/rawtest/Nikkor_24_70_Distortion.zip

Thanks,
Conrad

Hey, that's great, thanks! I have TPM, though the hardware plug-in modules seem to be rare as hen's teeth. It's the processor list I needed to get around. Not sure when I'll give 11 a try, but I tend to be an early adopter.

I spent a lot of money a few years ago on a nice workstation-level machine to do image processing and scientific stuff. I got the Kaby Lake processor as it seemed like a good choice at the time. So now we have Windows 11 and my processor isn't on the list. Can't upgrade. Manipulative MS bastards must be in bed with the hardware people to sell more hardware.
