Filter Question I hear people talking about a filter they use for bright sunlit areas. I have a uv filter on all of my lenses but what is the lens that I here others talk about that helps out in the bright sunshine?

Hi Corky, It's Lynne again. Perhaps people are talking about a polarizing filter, which can saturate blue skies on a sunny day and can remove reflections from shiny surfaces. You can control these effects by rotating the outer ring on a polarizing filter. Just resist the temptation to oversaturate blue skies. A UV filter is important to have on all your lenses for protection, but it won't make a significant difference on the appearance of your images. Any other input from anyone?

I had a question about resizing images and got a response but didn't really understand what he meant. I've been told not to resample, but my question was what is the best method to get a smaller version of your original when you need to submit it online or send it in an email? Thanks for all your input. You have really helped me.

Hi Corky, I think that Richard was trying to emphasize the importance of keeping the original image as a large file, while creating a duplicate to resize to a smaller size. I know that you have both Photoshop and Lightroom. Here's one way to do it: In Photoshop, open up your image, and go to Image > Duplicate. This will duplicate your original image. Then go to Image > Image Size and you'll get a window that will allow you to resize your duplicate image either by changing the pixels or by changing the Pixel Dimensions or File Size. Make sure the 3 boxes are checked at the bottom: Scale Syles, Constrain Proportions, and Resample Image. If you're emailing photos to friends or family, I might make the photo 5 x 7 inches or so. Otherwise, if you're submitting online, check to see what pixel size is required. Hope this helps!

Sorry you found my response confusing. What I tried to say is: sometimes resampling is the only thing you can do. I have been an expert in the field for 20 years... If someone with a similar amount of experience is telling you not to resample, I am guessing that they were referring to the original. Don't resample an original, resample a copy/duplicate, as Lynne says. Do you have a source that you got the info about *not* resampling from? You will have choices for resampling type. Bicubic Sharper will probably be your best choice. Also, a 5x7 on a computer is going vary depending on the resolution of the monitor that it is viewed on. The best way to control this is with pixels. You will want to have about 500 x 700 pixels @ 100ppi. I'll upload a screen of what the resize screen should look like. I hope that helps! Sometimes the questions you might think are simple have a lot of twists and possibilities. Richard
