Stvarno, šta ti ljudi imaju protiv tražila? Ni Ricoh ga nema. Kapiram da nije lako da se ugradi, ali meni je to nekompletno.

Izracunali da se ne isplati. Prosto.Sad - sto je nekome nelogican retro dizajn a bez kljucnog retro elementa, druga je prica.

Ne radi se (samo) o nelogičnosti, za mene, već o problemima pri upotrebi. Ja ne vidim baš najbolje na cca 1 m od sebe (bliže vidim super, a i dalje uz pomoć očala). Dalje, često želim manuelno uoštravanje (to mi je vrlo teško ako je displej na distanci). Takođe, mislim da aparat držim pouzdanije (tj. mirnije) kad mi je uz lice, a često slikam u low light situacijama - ovo je vrlo bitan faktor. Pokretni (swivel) displej mi se, međutim sviđa - ako može da se namesti da se u njega gleda odozgo, kao na TLR aparatima (što je automatski i bliže očima, recimo 30-40 cm). Ali, mislim da je to uglavnom prisutno na dSLR-ovima, a oni ionako imaju viewfinder. Swivel displej bi imao ogromne prednosti kod recimo fotkanja sa stativa, kada je aparat mnogo nisko, ili mnogo visoko, ili iz nekog razloga ne može da se ugura faca iza aparata.

Pitanje za poznavaoce Photoshopa: da li je Photoshop Lightroom 2 dovoljan za rad sa fotografijama? Hvala unapred, ako neko slučajno ima iskustva s tim.

[Kontras]

Zavisi do kog stepene obrade zelis da ides.

[minja]

Ja sve svoje fotke obradjujem u Lightroom 2.

[Caligula]

Pitanje za poznavaoce Photoshopa: da li je Photoshop Lightroom 2 dovoljan za rad sa fotografijama? Hvala unapred, ako neko slučajno ima iskustva s tim.

Sve moze: od obrade RAW-a do maskiranja, shminkanja, ciscenja etc. I to radi odlicno.Imas tutorijala po netu.

[minja]

Nestade mi post bestragom...Da ponovim: ne moze bas sve i ono sto moze radi dobro ali ne odlicno. Ono sto se meni svidja je vrlo dobar workflow. Kao sto sam naveo, ja sve svoje fotke radim u LR2. Ali neke sitnice ponekad moram odraditi u PSu. Recimo barreling i dalje moram u PS. Retouching je moguc ali je u usporedbi s PSom pain in the arse.S druge strane, brdo stvari vezano za obradu RAWa su superiornije o jednostavnije u LR2. Sve u svemu odlican program koji toplo preporucam ako ne prckas i rertusiras previse fotografiju

Hvala. Zvuči OK za cenu koju sam našao (akademsku), nekoliko puta ispod pune verzije PS-a.

Još jedno pitanje u vezi Lightroom 2, mada verovatno može da se izgugla: da li u njemu rade Photoshop plugins, npr. SilverEfexPro (i tome sl)? Pretpostavljam da rade, ali ipak da pitam...(BTW. Možda će biti mali kuriozitet, ali ja koristim još uvek Photoshop 5.5 - da, da! - i na njemu recimo rade neki sasvim novi PS pluginovi!)

[minja]

Neće ići. Nisu kompatibilni.Sama filozofija je drukcija. U Lightroomu radiš s presetsima koji efektivno postaju pluginovi. A presetsa ima brdo na net-u. Jes da su svi vise manje bzvz ali ih ima. Ili, kad napravis nesto sto ti se svidja jednostavno snimis preset i imas ga. Ma jednom (ako uzmeš LR) kad skužiš workflow milina je raditi u LR.Mali savjet: arhiviraj si backup kataloga na siguno mjesto. Meni je prije 10 dana crko Mac i živ sam se u*ro da sam izgubio par tisuca obrada forografija.

[Indy]

Ju! Kako crk'o Mac? Pa ja se upravo premišljam da nabavim iMaca, baš zbog fotografije.Šalim se, naravno da ću da backupujem i na Macu. :)

[minja]

Crkla maticna i graficka, najskuplji dijelovi ali u neku ruku sam dobro prosao jer je hard ostao netaknut. Uglavnom odapeo skroz. Popravak 2/3 tjedna (pogodnosti zivota u HR) i na kraju morao uzeti novi jer inace ne bih mogao raditi. I od sada nikada vise bez back up file-ova i back up makine.

[Caligula]

Eksterni diskovi nikada nisu bili veci i jeftiniji.O bckupu pricam:)
