Recover Lost Images with PhotoRescue
by Tim Grey, May 6, 2003
PhotoRescue is a tool that I highly recommend. You will be able to extract files when corruption occurs, and also retrieve files that you have accidentally deleted. The free trial will allow you to view thumbnails of the images it is able to recover. The registered version ($29) will allow you to save the images that PhotoRescue is able to recover. |

Infrared in Photoshop
by Tim Grey, May 7, 2002
Green foliage reflects a great deal of infrared radiation, which is just outside the visible spectrum. Infrared film is able to pick up this wavelength, which produces a surreal view that we can't see with our own eyes in nature. To simulate this effect, we need to enhance the appearance of the green layer in particular. |

Using Multiple Tele-Extenders
by George D. Lepp, October 21, 1998
There are times when we need additional focal length to get the photograph. With some "L" series EOS lenses, you can add two Canon EF tele-extenders and get acceptable results. Usually this is a last-ditch effort, so don't plan on this as a regular practice. |

by George D. Lepp, October 10, 1998
There are times when you're just not sure if the TTL on your camera/flash is working properly. TTL is that automatic system where your camera and flash talk to each other to give you correct flash exposure in a lot of different lighting situations. The camera actually reads the light from your dedicated flash that has reached the film in order to determine if the exposure is correct. |
