The problem arises when you have relative positioned elements inside of relative positioned elements and animations (apparently when Flash players are embedded on the page too) appearing on the page. Check it out: http://uberfoto.com/test/anti_alias.php I’ve also created another page a while back that shows the issue with a Flash video player embedded on the page. Some bugs with fixed positioning in that sample too… http://uberfoto.com/test/flash_problem.php 2010-10-13T01:10:27+00:00 http://www.uberfoto.com/index.php/uberfoto/blogposts/internet_explorer_6_ie6_can_suck_it/ http://www.uberfoto.com/index.php/uberfoto/blogposts/internet_explorer_6_ie6_can_suck_it/#When:17:43:44Z I’m done supporting it. In fact, I don’t even officially support IE7. So, If you’re wondering why my site looks broken or funky, update your browser.

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. ...

I just wanted to touch on a couple things I really find helpful after using the camera for a few months.

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 haven’t seen the problem occur in have color detail just above the clipping threshold. This really makes for some ugly images. I know, I said that already, but now you can see it for yourself.

This camera rocks my face off. I’ve been shooting with a D70 until now. My SB-800 strobes came too. These strobes also rock my face off. Photography 2007-04-29T17:44:25+00:00
