Digital BW, The Print

Debbi, which camera do you use? I shoot with a Nikon D2x and it's a DX
(small) sensor) camera. I was frustrated like you for awhile, until I
replaced the focusing screen with one that had a grid etched on it showing;
the boundaries of Nikon's "High Speed Crop" (allowing for up to 8 fps @ 6.3
megapixel images), the 11 different focus areas but most importantly the 4
corners of the sensor that will "print" to an 8x10 or 11x14 print without
much cropping in PS. This means I'm doing the cropping in the camera and
does use less of the sensor but if you frame within these boundaries you
don't have to crop as much in PS.

 

IMHO, this interesting book can't tell you, or anyone else for that matter,
how to get an 8x10 or 11x14 from a DX or "half frame" sensor!  The only
option is a 35mm full frame sensor camera, which only leaves you with one
choice - buy the full frame Canon at an "arm and a leg" price!

I cannot wait to purchase your book! Please tell me there will be a 
chapter dedicated to getting store bought frame size from working in 
RAW. Unless I crop most of my image, (and not the look I was really 
after) I cannot print to a normal 8 X 10 or 11X14. I know it's the 
size of the sensor of the camera that creat3s this problem I just 
hate it.
