Nikon mirrorless camera system under development

noreply@blogger.com (Qasim Syed) — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 11:33:00 +0000

Nikon has finally confirmed that Nikon is working on an all-new mirrorless camera system based around a full-frame image sensor. The company has given very little details, but we can speculate that the system will use a new lens mount and thus require new lenses, though an adapter for F-mount SLR lenses will also be available.

This will be Nikon’s second line of mirrorless cameras after the Nikon 1 series, which introduced in 2011 and was recently discontinued. Nikon 1 used small 1-inch sensors and unconventional controls, with an anemic lens range that mostly consisted of slow zooms, meaning image quality was usually closer to a point-and-shoot than a DSLR. There was an F-mount adapter available, but the sensor size meant that focal lengths were cropped to extreme degrees, turning all but the widest lenses into telephotos.

Nikon is only saying that release and pricing details will be shared “at a later date.” Nikon often announces the development of high-end products without giving much information; it made a similar pre-announcement for the current flagship D5 camera.

Easy Retouch

noreply@blogger.com (Qasim Syed) — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 10:03:00 +0000

In this tutorial I'm gonna teach very Easy Retouch technique to bright up your dark looking pictures. So lets start

Step 1

Open Image in Photoshop and Duplicate the layer

Step 2

Go to Image> Adjustments> Shadow/Highlight. To darken the shadows I really only need to move the Shadows Amount slider to the left: in this case a setting of 1% works. I won’t mess with the highlights, but I am increasing the Color Correction slider-setting to +10, and adjusting the Midtone Contrast to a setting of +40. Click OK.

Step 3

Select Highlighted area of image. Go to Channel-> RGB+Ctrl+Click. Then simply Copy and paste them into a new layer.

Now you can adjust the highlights separately from the rest of the photo. For instance, an increase in Brightness/Contrast should work well for this tutorial. Here are my settings applied to the Highlights layer.

Step 4

Let’s add one more lighting trick to give the subject the attention. A simple Lighting Effects filter application should do the trick. Goto Filter->Rander->Lighting Effect. I used Preset of Crosslight for this tutorial

Step 5

After all that, the one problem I think should be addressed is the increase of the yellow cast. By creating a Color Balance adjustment layer and reducing the Yellow/increasing the Blue just a bit in the Highlights and Midtones, we should be able to get a warmer color and a bit more natural.

Final Result
