Gary_Yngve Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Better to save them large in your camera and keep the originals on your computer, and save a copy in smaller resolution for uploading to CC.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Is anyone using UV and polarizing filters for their digital photography, and does anyone know which if any of the new tiny digital cameras will take a filter adaptor and filters?

MisterMo Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 On a digi SLR I use a UV always to protect the front element and a circular polarizer when the light is right for it. Â I don't know about filters on P&S cameras; my P&S has no provision for such. Â Photoshop has a number of filter effects with which I have very little experience.

ashw_justin Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 The larger Olympus (non-SLR) cameras appear filter-capable. But I wanted a 4 oz. one! Â ps. Photoshop CANNOT EVEN STEP to a polarizing filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMo Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I feel your pain, having just got off a 5 day trip with about 6 pounds of camera stuff. Many were the moments that a couple of cans of Fosters would have been more welcome. Â I've seen Polarizer tricks/workarounds for Photoshop published but have never horsed around with them myself.

ashw_justin Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think it's often the case that desired information is just not recorded in the absence of a polarizing filter. Details and colors are lost and there's no way to get them back, no matter how you adjust what is remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 UV filters aren't as important for digicams as film because the CCD is less responsive to UV than film is. Â Regarding polarizers: Â For making the sky bluer, a split filter works pretty well. But nothing can compare the power of a polarizer for knocking glare off of water, etc. Those cannot be done digitally. Â All of the P&Ses that I know of have light meters that are not integrated directly with the lens, so putting a polarizer on the lens would cause the image to be underexposed.
