My Digital Tools for Photographers seminar tour (presented by Apple) kicked off today with a stop at the Henry's School of Imaging. More than 35 people attended the three hour session, which showcased Macintosh hardware and software, including Aperture 1.1, the new professional photo workflow software from Apple. Another session is scheduled at the Henry's school tomorrow, April 26, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
More seminars are also scheduled throughout Toronto and southern Ontario for May and June. Admission is free but pre-registration is required. Check seminars.apple.com for dates and locations.
Some useful links from today's seminar:
Apple Aperture professional photo workflow software and iLife '06 portfolio tools.
iView MediaPro photo and digital media cataloguing software.
UPDIG Universal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines for professional standards photo production and workflow.
controlledvocabulary.com/ for naming, keywording and metadata info for photographers.
The Dam Book for digital asset management for photographers.
The Mediaworks Meetup online forum for photographers and mediamakers.
The FlickrFotoForum group on flickr.com.
In the coming weeks I will post some of the seminar content in the flickrfotoforum for flickr friends who can't make it to one of the live seminars, and answer questions about digital workflow in this thread. So ask way!
So this is actually kind of fun I guess. This is my C41, color film workflow so far. It's been a bit of trial and error trying to maintain a consistent 102F for 3.5 min.
This is how I do it so far. Put water in this pot just enough to cover the 250ml of liquids in the measuring cups. Put pot on stove with flame on high to get a good rolling boil. Once it gets boiling, reduce flame to medium. When the temp in cups gets to about 95F, turn off heat otherwise the temp gets too hot and it takes longer to cool off than to heat up. Remove cups from water when they reach 102F. First step is just water for 1 min to heat up film and tank. This helps maintain temp for developer. 2nd, developer for 3.5 min. Developer will cool to about 95F in that amount of time which isn't good. So I put the tank in the water pot in between agitations. Keeps the temp from falling too fast. 3rd step is the bleach/ fix (blix) for 6.5 min. The good thing is that you can be between 95 and 105F for this step. 4th is wash for 1 min followed by stabilizer for 1.5 min. Done!
Also, I have always used Kodak black and white developers like HC110, D76 and Xtol for b&w film. To shake things up a bit and keep it interesting, I got some Rodinal. Never used it before and still haven't. Good times. This is definitely a labor of love.
Update: Roll number 3 following this method turned out some funky greenish colors on Portra 160. Not sure why. I'll keep this photo updated.
I got inspired into some intense nerding this week. The above is a peek into the results. For more, check out the writeup on my blog.
Capsule summary: you can make an image have pretty much any histogram you like, with a little perl code—even a histogram that resembles the image itself. What you see here is:
1. An unaltered image of Miami.
2. The histogram of that image.
3. A new desired histogram made by tracing the silhouette of the skyline in the source image.
4. An altered version of the source image, which has the desired histogram.
Man was that fun to pull off.
When a physician sees a person with 10 or 20 medications and they need to do renewals that will be expiring before the next visit, I can take some mental effort to get it alright and avoid unnecessary phone calls asking for renewals prior to the next visit.
These are fairly typical steps in the process of doing that renewal review and completion.
Le Suquet is the old quarter of Cannes, probably best known to tourists as the climbing, winding cobbled lane lined with local restaurants, Rue St Antoine. Le Suquet contains a clock tower and church that sit high facing east overlooking the Bay of Cannes and Cannes itself. At the bottom of Le Suquet on Rue Dr. P. Gazagnaire is the Marché Forville, where the market is held in the mornings and early afternoon.
This area is the original fishermans' residential area of Cannes. The houses are all very old. The streets were laid out at least 400 years ago. It is a 5-minute walk from the beach and is full of restaurants around the Rue Saint Antoine and the Rue du Suquet. A lot of the area is pedestrianised and is a major tourist attraction for visitors to Cannes.
The rue du Suquet is the original main road into Cannes. It came in below the walls of the castle (for defence reasons). It is a pedestrian street again and has plenty of restaurants [Wikipedia.org]
Take a breath & pause, press the shutter, work on it some more & post it, hope that people see what you see #passion #skill #hardworkpaysoff
My current workflow, stitched together from my usual spaces layout and labeled via pen tablet. The first frame is a recent addition (April 2012) to include video-related software.
Ah how I miss leopard. Lion is super annoying.
I'll have to post a workflow chart of my other computer, 2007 "Music Production" Macbook Pro
Here is the Workflow to get the Matcap Material from zBrush to mental Ray material:

Thanks Norman, I've max 2010 and it's a little bit easier:
- Screenshot from your Zbrush Material, crop and save it.
- from he Norman's tutorial:
"Change the “Default Scanline Renderer” to mentalray. Open the Material Editor and pick a default material. Change the Self Illumination value to 100. Now you can click on the diffuse slot and pick the “mr Gray Ball” map. In the “Gray Ball Image” slot you will have to put the Shading Map you grabbed earlier."
The part with *.mi file can be ignore in 2010. The correct/actual name i have for the "Gray ball Image map" is "Environment Probe/Gray Ball (mi)". For this example I didn't use a standard material but a Arch&Design material with a normal map. It works fine.

Over two years ago, I posted an image of my workflow. Today, I decided it was due for an update.
This is the perfect "Portable yet Powerful" combination, version 2!
