I'm done supporting it. In fact, I don't even officially support IE7. If you're wondering why my site looks broken or funky, update your browser. I recommend one of the following: Please update your browser and stop using Internet Explorer (or more commonly known as Internet Exploder) so that the web can get better. Internet Explorer is NOT the Internet. It is just ONE of many more

Ok, this is ridiculous. I found out from an Apple support agent that Aperture currently has a supported file size limit of 250MB. This is why I have been getting the maroon, "Unsupported Image Format" error all the time. For now the workaround I have come up with is to restart Aperture and switch to view Previews ONLY. I guess the way it works is, Aperture only uses the video card RAM to load

I sold my 1st gen MacBook Pro on Craigslist last week and picked up a new facelifted MacBook Pro and a new 24" LED Cinema Display to go with it. I just want to say that I have been pretty impressed so far and I was surprised that they both calibrated very well. The laptop, of course, doesn't have nearly the color gamut as the Cinema Display but it matches very well considering. It is surely

So, I have been using the D3 and 14-24 since December and have been really impressed. There are already 9k other sites out there doing D3 reviews so I am going to keep it short. I just wanted to touch on a couple things I really find helpful after using the camera for a few months. First off, I primarily use the camera in a studio environment and on location with either a Profoto Acute pack or

...is great BUT has one MAJOR issue for me. It is clipping the color detail too early. This means I am getting monochrome shadow areas on my colored subjects and it looks really bad. Let me expound upon this and give some examples: Aperture's raw conversion for the Nikon D3 is clipping the color from shadows.... generally. (About 99% of the time.) It is possible that the couple of images I
