You wear a watch on your wrist to keep track of what time it is throughout your busy day. But if you walk into a room that has a clock in it that shows a different time than your watch, what do you do? The situation is not too dissimilar from the dilemma you face when the color on your monitor doesn't match what your printer produces. To understand what I'm getting at, read on and all will be made clear.
You assume that the time on your wrist watch is correct, right? After all, that's why you wear it. There's a degree of confirmation in seeing another clock that matches the time on your watch. But if the clock in a room of your house shows a different time, then there must be something wrong with it, or else your watch must no longer keep accurate time. Whichever one you trust more will likely become the basis on which you adjust the other so they match. And then all will be well again.
Or so it may seem. All bets are off on whether either clock will actually match the time out in the real world. If you want, you could stay home all the time and ignore this potential problem, but that hardly seems practical. The truth of the matter is that a "closed loop" method of setting your clocks, one from the other, only works if you don't care what anyone else does.
In the same way, you assume the color displayed by your computer monitor is correct too. If you get a new printer and sit down to print your favorite images and everything comes out OK, you'll likely be quite pleased. But the sad truth is that more than likely the color in your prints will be at least a bit off when compared to what your monitor shows. They may be a lot off. And that's when most new printer owners start to get frustrated.
The usual solution to such a problem would be to tweak the color sliders in the printer driver until prints come out at least in the right ballpark relative the monitor. Either that, or the new printer may serve as an eye-opening indication of just how bad your monitor is and you'll decide to adjust it rather than the printer to get the same colors. Either way, once you have them looking reasonably close to each other, all will seem well.
Just as with your wrist watch and clock though, your monitor and printer may match each other, but what if they don't match anybody else's? Post some images on a website or email them to a friend and they will likely complain that the color looks wrong. Attempting to remedy color problems by adjusting your monitor and printer until they match each other only works if you don't want to share your work with others.
To find a solution that does work, let's return momentarily to our clock problem. Rather than adjusting the clock based on your wrist watch or vice versa, a different approach is needed. If instead you set each clock to the correct time, they will automatically match each other. In much the same way, if you profile your monitor so that it displays color correctly and then do the same for your printer so that colors come out the way they should on it, they will automatically match each other.
This is an important point about how color management is intended to work. While you will need a profile for your monitor and one for your printer (actually for the combination of printer, paper and ink used), these two profiles have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. Each one has a specific job to do and doesn't need any help from any other profile or device to do it.
Your monitor profile should be an accurate set of measurements for how your monitor displays color. Your computer's color management system can then use this profile to correct for any deficiencies or quirks so that colors come out correctly on your monitor. Likewise, your printer profile performs the same function for your printer.
To take this one step further, it doesn't even matter what monitor you have in order to create a printer profile. Indeed, some of the best printer profiles available are those that come from the printer manufacturer. And they clearly don't know what monitor you have or how you have it set up. Epson and now HP and Canon provide excellent profiles for their photo printers either in the box or as downloads from the web.
For your monitor, you can't just use a profile from the manufacturer. Because of changes over time and other factors, you really need to create your own monitor profile using a hardware calibration tool. But the concept is still the same. It doesn't matter what printer you have, or even if you have one at all, when you profile your monitor. You may even have more than one printer but the process of profiling your monitor doesn't change at all And buying a new printer or monitor won't require you to re-profile the other since each is independent of the other.
So, rather than trying to keep track of what time it is by blindly adjusting one clock to another, you can set each of them to the correct time and they will automatically match each other. In the same way, rather than trying to gain control over color management by working to adjust your monitor and printer so they match, get or make a profile for each so they display color correctly and they will automatically match each other.

Adapted from Kodak's 10 top techniques to taking better pictures
As educators trying to integrate technology into your classroom, pictures will become a part of what you do in preparing your materials. You may need images for a PowerPoint show, informational letter to go home to parents, web page you create, etc. Sometimes it is hard to find images that you have the right to use, especially images you put online. If you take your own shots you can get exactly what you need to get your message across. Pictures can add those visual cues that help students in grasping the content you are teaching.
http://www.electricteacher.com/diversity/photography.htm is intended to help you take quality photos whether you are using a regular camera or a digital one. Remember a picture is worth a thousand words!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 Review
The new Panasonic DMC-TZ3 camera is a significant update of last year's popular TZ1 model. The most significant change has been made to the Leica lens. It still offers 10x focal length in a compact body, but instead of starting at 35mm, the Panasonic TZ3 now offers a range of 28-280mm. Sure, you lose 70mm from the telephoto end, but many photographers will applaud Panasonic's move to a more wide-angle field of view. The megapixel count has increased from 5 to 7.2, and the LCD screen is now a massive 3 inches in size (up from 2.5 inches on the old model). The Panasonic TZ3 also features a new Intelligent ISO shooting mode to help prevent motion blur, and Extra Optical Zoom, which uses the central part of the CCD sensor to extend the zoom up to 15x (although only at 3 megapixel resolution). The main problem with the DMC-TZ1 was noisy images at relatively low ISO speeds, so does the new Panasonic DMC-TZ3 improve in that crucial area, despite the megapixel increase? Read the rest of my review to find out.

Shadows - The Forgotten Element in Photography
As photographers, we obsess over light. How much of it, the direction it's coming from, the color and so on...
Isn't the very WORD - photograph - ancient Greek for writing with light? (Photo = light, graph = to write) Maybe it's Latin, I'm doing this from memory.In our obsession, we buy studio lights so we can get more of it, at the right color and direction. We use multiple lights to eliminate unwanted shadows! And to add highlights. We buy reflectors to fill in the shadows and we bounce our - on camera - flash off the ceiling to avoid shadows on the walls. A quick search in any library or bookstore will show dozens (if not hundreds) of books and magazines devoted to controlling light.
So far...I've never run across a book devoted to capturing shadows!
But, isn't it the shadows that define mood?
Picture in your mind, a photograph of a smokey New Orleans, jazz club. Was your mental photo in color or black and white? Probably black and white, but even if it was in color, was the room well lit - OR STEEPED IN SHADOW?
When your subject is a little - shall we say, hefty - how do you tell them to dress for their portraits? In white? Or in black?
In case you're new to photography, and know absolutely nothing about fashion, I'll tell you - it's black. Why? Because shadows define shape! If they are wearing white, all the shadows cast by their excess weight are clearly visible. Wearing black, the shadows aren't that visible and thereby a person look thinner.
When you study the various lighting patterns, you'll see they are almost all defined by the shadows - not the light! Rembrandt, broad light, narrow light, split light, butterfly and so on...it's the way the shadows appear that determine the pattern. Without shadows, all lighting patterns would be the same!
Wrinkles are defined by the shadows. That's why lights are always positioned directly in front of models - to eliminate any wrinkles. The same for blemishes. We mostly notice pock marks because of the shadows.
So, when you are doing a portrait session, consider the shadows. What kind of mood are you after? Do they have wrinkles or blemishes that need to be filled in? Do they have a wide face that can be narrowed by shadowing one side?
Photographs are on paper and are two dimensional, so the best photographers look for ways to include shadow. Can YOU add shadow to give the portrait depth and dimension?
When you start to think about shadows as intensly as you do about the light, that's when your photography will move to the next level.
It's the shadows that create the illusion of depth and shape and it's the consideration of shadows that can turn a snapshot into ART. People will know they are looking at something special but they won't know why, because shadows truly are the forgotten element.

Keywording Demystified
Keywording is the process of attaching descriptive words to pictures so buyers can find them with search engines. "If an image can't be found, it can't be sold," says Gautam Pai, engagement manager for JaincoTech, a digital imaging service bureau with offices in Ohio and India. There are several software packages now available to help, all with their own logic, methods, and vocabulary.

Free Unlimited Online Backup, Essentially
Yesterday, Yahoo announced that as of May, storage limits will be lifted from their email accounts. That's good news for all of us who refuse to delete any email, ever. But it may also be good news for those of us looking for a free way to backup our favorite images online. Sure, we could pay to do it. But what if we were to set up a separate email account just for picture backup. Once a week or so we could send ourselves our favorite pictures, even our RAW files.* We could put keywords, titles, and any other relevant information in the body of the email. That way, if we needed to retrieve any of the photos, we could use Yahoo Mail's excellent built-in search to dig them out.
*The current attachment limit is 10 MB, so you might have to send yourself a few messages at a time.

Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools—Make selections in a snap. Loosely draw on an image area, and the Quick Selection tool automatically completes the selection for you. Then fine-tune your selections with the Refine Edge tool.
Advanced compositing—Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Photoshop layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.
Streamlined interface and palette management—Maximize screen space for editing while keeping essential tools accessible. Palettes are now arranged in convenient, self-adjusting docks that can be widened to full size or narrowed to icons or even a thin, self-revealing strip at the edge of your monitor.
Better raw image processing—Process raw images with increased speed and superior conversion quality using the Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in, which now adds support for JPEG and TIFF formats; new tools including Fill Light and Dust Busting; compatibility with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom™ software; and support for over 150 camera models.
Faster, more flexible asset management with Adobe Bridge CS3—Organize and manage images more efficiently with Adobe Bridge CS3 software, which now delivers improved performance, a Filter panel for easier searching, the ability to group multiple images under a single thumbnail, the Loupe tool, offline image browsing, and more.
Enhanced Vanishing Point—Take perspective-based editing to a new level with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which lets you create multiple planes in an image, connect them at any angle, and then wrap graphics, text, and images around them to create packaging mock-ups and more.
Enhanced 32-bit high dynamic range (HDR) support—Create and edit 32-bit images and combine multiple exposures into a single, 32-bit image that preserves the full range of a scene— from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights. New image processing and alignment algorithms deliver superior results.
Black-and-white conversion—Easily convert color images to rich black-and-white and adjust tonal values and tints with a new tool. Experiment with the included black-and-white presets, or create and save your own custom presets to achieve the best results.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom™ support—Jump from Photoshop Lightroom software to Photoshop CS3 in one click for advanced editing of your digital photos. Lightroom (sold separately) offers an efficient, powerful way to import, manage, and present large volumes of digital images.
Improved printing experience—Experience better control over print quality with color management, a larger print preview window, and more controls in one place so you can print in fewer steps. Improved printing controls, co-developed by Adobe and HP, make printing easier and more predictable, and streamline setup options via integration with select printers from HP, Epson, and Canon.
Peak performance—Experience native performance on Intel® and PowerPC® based Macintosh computers, and on Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows Vista™ systems.
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended is best suited for:
Film, video, and multimedia professionals and graphic and web designers using 3D and motion—With Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended software, you can now leverage the power of the Photoshop image-editing toolset and paint engine when editing 3D and motion-based content for film, video, the web, and mobile devices.
Manufacturing and design engineers—With Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended software, you can easily import, rotate, and create different rendering modes and edit existing textures on 3D models to enhance 3D content or create compelling composites of 2D and 3D content.
Medical professionals—Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended software helps you improve patient care with powerful tools for documenting and analyzing treatment and visualizing potential outcomes.
Architects and engineers—Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended software helps you communicate your vision clearly and make an impact with all of your drawings and designs.
Scientific researchers—Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended software delivers new tools for analyzing and extracting data from images, and offers powerful presentation capabilities to help you communicate your discoveries.
Students and educators—With features designed for professionals in video and motion graphics production, manufacturing, medicine, architecture, engineering, and scientific research, Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended software is a key new tool for students pursuing careers in these fields, and for their instructors.
Top Photoshop CS3 Extended Features:
3D compositing and texture editing—Easily render and incorporate rich 3D content into your 2D composites—even edit existing textures on 3D models directly within Photoshop Extended and immediately see the results. Photoshop Extended supports common 3D interchange formats, including 3DS, OBJ, U3D, KMZ, and COLLADA, so you can import, view, and interact with most 3D models.
Movie Paint—Enhance video directly within Photoshop Extended. Now you can paint, add text, and clone over multiple frames of an imported video sequence.
2D and 3D measurement tools—Extract quantitative information from images with new measurement tools. Easily calibrate or set the scale of an image, and then use any of the Photoshop Extended selection tools to define and calculate distance, perimeter, area, and other measurements. Record data points in a measurement log and export data, including histogram data, to a spreadsheet for further analysis.
Support for open standards and MATLAB—Photoshop Extended is compatible with a wide variety of programs, supports many file formats, and offers integration with MATLAB. Pull image data from Photoshop Extended into MATLAB, and visualize results of MATLAB algorithms back in the software.
Easy animation creation with the Animation palette—Use the new Animation palette to create an animation from a series of images and export it to a wide variety of formats, including QuickTime, MPEG-4, and FLV.
Enhanced support for 32-bit images (HDR) support—Create and edit 32-bit images and combine multiple exposures into a single 32-bit image that preserves the full range of a scene—from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights. New image processing and alignment algorithms deliver superior results. And with Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended, you can even edit 32-bit images using brushes, filters, blending modes, transformations, selections, tools, aspect ratios, and more.
Wide range of supported formats—Import and export an even greater range of file formats, including PSD, BMP, DICOM, Cineon, JPEG, JPEG2000, OpenEXR, PNG, Targa, and TIFF.
Enhanced Vanishing Point with 3D support—Edit in perspective on multiple surfaces—even those connected at angles other than 90 degrees—with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which also lets you measure in perspective; wrap graphics, images, and text around multiple planes; and output 2D planes as 3D models.

What’s new in Photoshop CS3 for Photographers
To coincide with the official announcement of Photoshop CS3, Martin Evening has released a sample chapter from his forthcoming book: Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Photographers, published by Focal Press.
The new edition of this best selling book should be hitting the streets in Spring of 2007, shortly after the official release of Photoshop CS3.
As a special perk for PhotoshopNews readers, Martin has made his Chapter 1: What’s New in Photoshop CS3 available for free download.
The 21 page PDF, outlines all the new features of Photoshop CS3 and Bridge 2, written from a user’s perspective. It offers an honest appraisal of what will be on offer in this new version of the program, if you really want to know what’s NEW!
Click here to download the PDF (4.05 mbs) Note, this is an updated version including mention of Photoshop CS3 Extended features.Martin, if you don’t know, is a London based advertising photographer and noted expert in both photography and digital imaging. As a successful photographer, Martin is well known in London for his fashion and beauty work. Check out Martin’s web site.
Martin also works with the Adobe Photoshop engineering team consulting on new feature development and alpha and beta testing. He worked alpha & beta for Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and was influential with the new Adobe Bridge 2.0 and Camera Raw 4.0.

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book, however, is filled with useful information, extensive imagery, and great examples that really explore the power of Lightroom while maintaining a clarity of presentation that had me routinely thinking ‘I couldn’t have said it better myself.’”

Deutsche Börse Photography Prize Winner
Walid Raad/The Atlas Group (b. 1967, Lebanon), is the winner of the £30,000 prize for his significant contribution to the medium of photography in Europe. The award was announced at the Photographer’s Gallery in London, on 21 March 2007.
Brett Rogers, Chair of the Jury and Director of The Photographers’ Gallery, said:
"Raad's work opens up new possibilities for reinterpreting photography's role in the construction of 'history' especially in connection with his main project on the Lebanese Civil Wars. He demonstrates a new form of conceptual practice, one that combines the poetic with the political, and yet remains playfully engaging. Through his work Walid Raad questions the role of authorship and authenticity 'fact as a process' presenting the world and its functions as a complex layer of systems."
You can discover more of the winning photos, as well as work from the other three finalists, in lenscultur's report in Lens Culture, and read the full article here http://www.lensculture.com/mt_files/archives/000118.html.

Jonathan Greenwald: Conscientious Street Photographer
Chantal Stone writes:
Street photography has never come easy for me, especially capturing people without them noticing me. It's a style of photography that I love, but I feel way too self-conscious to be stealthy, and often times I miss great shots by poorly framing or exposing incorrectly before scampering off before anyone looks at me. I so greatly admire those photographers who bravely achieve what I can not, which is why I jumped at the opportunity to chat with NYC street photographer Jonathan Greenwald.
On his photoblog, Shrued, Jonathan shares his view of the city where he now lives, New York, and the city in which he will soon reside, Toronto. Full of beauty, surprise, natural wonder, and architectural triumph, Jonathan's photoblog is a virtual tour of the non-touristy sides of these two cities.
But each city has a different side, a side we as outsiders don't often see, and it is through his camera that Jonathan is able to bring light and truth to what goes often unnoticed in two of North America's largest cities. With two projects, called "Signs of The Times" and "Forgotten," Jonathan reveals the homeless of New York and Toronto. Recently Jonathan and I talked about his project photographing the homeless.

The Atom Philosophy
The Best Photo TipI Ever Got ...
Look at the Killer Whale and Trainer at http://www.photosecrets.com/tips.bc1.html
Shooting from above turns this photo into a graphic interpretation. Here we're dealing with color, light and shadow. We don't see the trainer's expression but her obvious surprise is left to our imagination. It's simple, calm, almost passive.
Try and view your subject from every angle, like an electron moving around an atom, before taking a photo.
A world class photographer and college professor once said:
"Bad (or lackluster) photos are caused from laziness. Unfortunately, too many photographers, amateurs to professionals, will approach a photo assignment with a pre-conceived notion of attack - mostly from 'history of style' and wanting to play it safe. Rarely, will the photographer step back, put down the camera and size up the assignment before proceeding. Instead, many of us will execute the photo from the angle we initially approached the subject, never thinking to study the subject and its environment first.
"Look at it like this," he continued. "The subject you wish to photograph is the nucleus of an atom. You, the photographer, are the electron spinning around the subject until you find just the right angle and distance. Not until then will you have successfully evaluated every aspect of that subject and its possibilities." He added, "Just the slightest move to the right or left, up or down has the potential to make or break the photo. Don't be in such a hurry to finish and leave."
That observation affected how I look at photography more than any other instructor, class, course, seminar or guest speaker, before or since. In fact, long ago, I based my "photographic vision" on this wonderful tip. But what's more important; that professor suffered from the crippling effects of adult polio. And even with that affliction (and in his 60s), he still employed the "atom" philosophy with all the vigor of an athlete.
