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 1000 kB (2000 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

Hi everyone

 

For B&W work on the M8 do you use the JPEGs or do you PP the DNGs?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

Early M8 user (about 2007/2008), I used DNG+JPG (set to b&w to see how it worked out), and as a kind of guide in PP.

But the longer time the M8 wrote to SD change my practice.

 

With DNG only, and need not to see b&w on LCD is more productive.

And with time and practice, one can produce much better than direct JPG out of M8.

Just DNG (Raw) and no Preview ... Ingest with Photo Mechanic and PP with Capture One.

I have question about BW JPEG1 ISO 1250 images from M8. I like what I'm getting from my M4-2 with HP5+ @1200-1600 if I'm using it under evening light (sun is low or gone, but it is still not dark). 

Is it OK to use M8 for light conditions like this at ISO1250 for BW?

Something like this (HP5+ @1200) ?

Try to play with your shutter speed and ISO (+/-) don't forget the white balance setting ....K factor
