Posted by jaapv,

How to upload images: Prepare the image as follows: 1.   The image should be sRGB and 8-bits 2.   Reduce the size to 2480 pixels on the longest side. (smaller sizes can be set, but are not recommended) 3.   Sharpen properly for screen. 4.   Save as JPG to your desktop, reducing JPG quality to produce 2000 kB (5000 kB for sponsoring members). 5.   In Lightroom these parameters should be set in the Export dialog. 6.   In the Forum posting or editing box, click “c

The little C is an unsung star of the Leica range (IMHO, of course!). To help raise its profile I propose an 'open thread' similar to the other camera-dedicated ones. Hopefully the Mods can make it

not very well  ;)

 

 

Keith -

 

Many digital camera sensors bloom on reds, washing out details.  I suggest backing off a bit with the saturation control to reclaim detail.

 

 

Maybe it is the compression involved in the upload process etc, but the red channel in the histogram does not look to be particularly overdone.

The reds would probably be easier to tame (if that's what you want) in LAB colour space in PS.

 

For those who might not be familiar with LAB, LAB (=L-A-B: one luminance channel and two contrasting colour channels) will allow you to alter the colour information without also altering the brightness, which is what happens in RGB colour space where the picture's luminance (brightness) is split equally one third to one third to one third across the red, green and blue channels.

 

So, say, increasing the reds in RGB will also increase the brightness but increasing or decreasing them in LAB will have no effect on the brightness because it's contained in a separate channel.

 

Pete.

Thanks Pete. I had a dabble in LAB mode (PS CC) but my only PS book is Scott Kelby's tome for CS4 - which was not a lot of use!  Anyway, whatever it was I did, the reds now look somewhat improved.

You're welcome, Keith.  I have Scott Kelby's 7-Point System, which has proved invaluable to me over the years and allowed me to find my way to the heart of Photoshop and understand what I needed to do to create a particular effect.  For a long time, like many other I suspect, I could only blunder around not knowing what I was doing and following rituals that I'd stumbled upon that seemed to work the last time. :D

 

For LAB I thoroughly recommend 'The Canyon Conundrum and Other Adventures in the Most Powerful Colorspace' by Dan Margulis.  It needs a little perseverance but it pays you back manyfold since it explains how many things are better done in LAB than RGB apart from simply colour work such as sharpening, noise reduction, selections, colour balancing, and contrast management.

 

Pete.

Flies of some kind on the lower twigs of mistletoe. Does anyone know what they are?

i had a scare w/my C.

 

I was away and put my C in my back pocket during dinner.... long story short-- i cracked the LCD.

 

Thanks to Youtube and Google I was able to find many replacement LCD's on that large online auction site for the sister camera LF1... and several videos on how to take apart the back to replace the LCD  (very easy and very fast less than ½ hour from start to finish)... so for less than 70USD I repaired the C myself.

 

Normally i would send it to Leica- but i did not want to wait the usual 3 months for the return.

 

the same videos show how to clean the sensor... does not look appreciably harder than replacing the LCD....

 

Just letting the c112 community know that a broken LCD does not mean the end of the camera......

From a very large tomato plant my wife grew on our porch this summer.

'Still finding my way around the "C".  There are more nooks and crannies to the Leica C than I thought when I first started making images with it.  (Things that might warrant a discussion thread.). From a JPEG processed in Lightroom "Classic".
