Ok ... When I am taking photos and reviewing them they look great on the LCD. The colours pop out its very contrasty & when I zoom (on preview to check sharpness) it all seems good.
When I import photos to Lightroom , they seem to have lost their punch , contrast and sharpness. I know some of this could be attributed to viewing on a smaller screen but its annoying in a way because I think I got the shot then I have to tweak a fair bit to get it to resemble what is on the LCD screen .
Could it be something to do with monitor calibration or colour space?
If this makes sense to anyone , when importing to Lightroom the photos look correct for a second then when fully loaded they lose the contrast & colour. It does this with my 500d as well but I thought that was because I shoot in RAW & Lightroom was resetting image on import.. However I am just shooting jpg on my fuji.
here is an image taken on iPhone. It has exaggerated it but its similar. flic.kr/p/ekkQEb Its not as colour casty on the monitor, but it does lose a lot of the colour & has less contrast
Any ideas?
I know i have only recently got this camera , I have tried various settings now 8Mp vs 16Mp. Sharpness soft standard & High, different DR settings.
It appears to get good results on the LCD screen, but when moving to PC they are like different photos. Colours are washed out, seem noisier & lack general contrast.I know you can get good results with this camera based on flickr & this forum.
Apologies if this is an easy question.

Hi
I know that similar question have been aske before, but I have bought some Epson 190 /gm paper for use with my canon mp 610 printer, because it was cheap.
I've printed the same photo on the Canon Plus Glossy 270 gm paper and on the Epson paper. Both copies are vey good. Compared to the Canon print the Epson print is slightly pinker, only reallly noticeable on the sky. I there anything I can do to make the Epson print more like the Canon print, which is slightly yellower by comparison.
Thanks
Morris

I personaly hate editing any images i take, not down to inability as i have used Photoshop and other image editing programs for years but because to me the image them becomes a fake.
Not sure if this view is shared by many if any at all but thats personaly how i feel even with using my avart image as a example, i took that shot around 2 years ago and to be honest the image looked better in its edited state but feels as if i have done some wrong to the image in editing it.
Share your opinions, am i right am i wrong ? should my point of view on editing things i take change?

Hi everyone just getting back into using a camera, will be here sharing pics that I have already taken and the ones in the future.
I am gogin to be using the tips and hints that seem to be in here, really I am only using 20+ year old knowledge, I love taking natural pics not really one for the posing type but I do like to try and get differing effects, I have a Fujifilm S2950 at the moment but can see myself upgrading in the near future and passing this one to my kids.
would like to thank catweasel (sp) off here for directing me to this forum, met him whilst walking with my children letting them snap away

We have all been disturbed, disrupted, discomforted, and distraught recently because of the 'Site Maintenance' and thoughts that My Finepix might be at an end. It has helped many folk to become better photographers - me amongst them (even tho I had to say it myself!!). The site is unique and as many have said it is the folk who offer their help and advice on photography, their sympathy and understanding in times of trouble, they share your joys and your sorrows. They are glad for your successes and help out when there are failures.
So this week I want two photos from each person - one your worst and one your very best. I want to be able to see HOW this site has helped you. They must be in your profile - if you have removed the ones you want to use I will trust you to use photos that have been in your profile. It is OK to use past Competition photos but not Current competition photos.
And if you haven't improved - tough - you should have listened to the advice!!!
Or if you have always been an excellent photographer and this site has helped you not a jot then what are you doing here?
And to set you all on the right road here are my two
The awful one
http://www.myfinepix.ca/gallery/83/36090
And one that I think shows improvement and which I love
http://www.myfinepix.ca/gallery/83/363922
So there you have it - look at your past images and those which show your improvement and share them with us so that Fuji (if they are thinking about closing) will have second thoughts.
Good luck everyone
