A "Refresh & Rebuild" of the thumbnails and set the RAW to "Default" and all is well now


Generally when I crop in PS CS6 I use some Framing Action that sets the borders.  In QI, I usually have the Black as a fill and not the White as shown in the screenshots.  One little niggle I have with QI for generations is that with the black border fill on and if the "Info box" is checked, the info is in black type so it cannot be read.  So I turn it back to white to see that if I check it. Might be nice if QI could figure out that with a dark color, the Info's type would switch to white somehow.
 

Naw. I just leave it Black or let the Framing Action set the outer frame to fill it in.  In the port books I have, the paper in them is black so the black edge isn't an issue.  Some of these frames for 13x19 are 12x18 Digital-sized so they cut it off automatically too.  Frames are still in old school sizes like 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 20x24 and don't really cover the digital paper sizes well at all, especially A3+ 13 inchers. I hope they figure out soon these new printers are not those archaic paper sizes anymore.


I used the quick launch as the screenshot I posted here was downsized in CS6 to fit the tiny 256K rez. restrictions on the attachments.


Actually, the model could have been in the later sequence not shown in the screenshots.  Seems it got too hot for her (104F that day) and she decided to try something, umm, different in her b-day suit.  It was fun to watch the MUA-stylist on site pass out too.

Guess what. Selecting the color and the font and point size for INFO have been in Q a long time...

You realize I was joking with you, right?

The Indecent Exposure comment was meant for the PS icon on teh taskbar, not that poor girl.

Back to Mike's original post:-
This seems to have been overlooked by everyone due to the dcraw problems 
This is a really useful feature, I used it for the first time today when editing a batch of raw photos I took this afternoon. They were medium iso, taken in flat daylight conditions, so extra contrast and saturation was needed. The tool made it possible to see the effect of both adjustments separately and aid getting the best balance for the two settings.

Here it is!!

Tony,
Terry was "spot on" (See he's teaching me proper English)
We got so concerned about the new additional cameras added to the covered camera list, and there being a couple of flaws in it, that we forgot the terrific new feature that Mike tossed in for Xmas.
Usually, the additional cameras which is put out somewhere around three times a year, goes out almost unnoticed, except by the new camera users.

This is a really great feature.... To clear up the mystery (I think like an ordinary person) it affords us the opportunity to see what each filter we may have applied is doing to our image on an individual basis,
If we hold down the green button to the right of the yellow, we get the cumulative effect of all the filters, but the left side yellow button is now selectable.

So for a single example: if I added a White Balance correction and also some contrast and some saturation, I could check each one,,, and decide maybe a  tad less contrast.... I am losing some shadow detail.... etc.  or am I happy with the White Bal. correction that I made.... maybe try again using a different reference point?
Pretty neat...

Enjoy!!
Fred
