Free bump for a fast shipper!

Currently using an ASUS ROG Claymore keyboard with the 10-key attachment and an ASUS ROG Strix Impact II mouse. I'm considering getting a heavier mouse though. This one is just too twitchy for Photoshop work.

There's a warehouse in the floor below me and residential apartments in the units to the side of me. The power comes into a single meter for the building. Some of the people in the apartments work from home on their computers and have no issues. I also don't have any problems with my studio...

At my photography studio I evidently have some dirty power problems. I've tried connecting 3 different PCs to different circuits and they all freeze and eventually blue screen when a load is put on the processor. Two of the computers I've used at my house and have had zero issues there, so I'm...

I'm running DDR5 so I'm pretty much 100% certain I'm not getting my timings below 17

I had to enter all the timings manually. I could never get it to finish the POST tests with auto or XMP settings enabled. I guess I could play with Gear 2 and see what settings I can get, but if 1:1 and 4200MHz is decent, I'm happy to leave it where it's at until faster memory comes down in price.

So, I'm still looking up the info regarding gears and BIOS settings since it's been a while since I've built a new system. My memory controller to DRAM ratio is set at 1:1 so does this mean I'm in gear 1? And is this the setting in BIOS where I choose it? The 2nd screenshot shows my...

I do photography full time and have a couple of WD Red 6TB drives in my computer for archives and storage. They're older 7200 rpm drives from before the Pro line came out that I pulled from my NAS. Before that I used 4TB WD blue 5400 rpm drives. Copying files to and from the drives sped up a...

Thanks for the replies guys. And yeah, this is an older CL40 kit. If it doesn't make a huge performance difference I guess I'll stick with what I have for now and maybe keep an eye out for used 2x32 kits.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if 4200 vs 4800 would make a big difference. As far as faster storage I'm already using 3 NVME drives for programs, input and output and an Optane drive for cache.

I was hoping to at least get it running at stock speeds of 4800MHz. I do a lot of 4K video editing plus importing and batch editing of large amounts of 45mp images all the time so any extra speed helps.

I just built a new i7 13700K system with an ASUS Tuf Gaming z690 motherboard and my RAM won't run anywhere close to its rated speed. The RAM is Kingston Fury Beast 5200 RAM that a friend gave me and I'm using 4x16GB. Is the RAM just bad or is it because I'm using all 4 slots? I've tried...

I'll let you know. I still have the box and accessories for the mobo so it should be easy to pack and ship.

I'm selling what's left of my old system after upgrading it. Parts include an Intel i7 9700K, ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (WI-FI AC) Motherboard, 4x16GB G.Skill Trident-Z DDR4 3733 RAM, and the cooler is a Fractal Design Celsius S24 240mm AIO. Not interested in shipping since I've left everything...

I ended up ordering a new case as well as an Arctic Freezer II 280mm AIO for $67 from their refurbished eBay store. I did have to Dremel out part of the corners of the fan mounts to get the AIO to fit over my RAM, so I guess I can only use RAM with lower profile heatsinks in the future. My...

I just got mine delivered today. They took my $65 offer as well. They still have 1 left.

I ordered an LGA 1700 bracket for it already. Thanks!

I'm in the middle of getting parts to upgrade my current i7 9700k system. I'd love to reuse my current case and cooler, a Fractal Design Celsius S24. If I got a bigger radiator I'd also have to buy a different case, which I'm trying to avoid. I don't really plan to do much overclocking. Maybe...

Message me with estimated shipping costs to 66047 if you would. One of those might work perfectly for her.

I'm looking for a cheap laptop to replace one that my friend dropped and killed. She's mainly going to use it for web browsing and very light photo editing. Preferably looking for something with a SSD, even a small one like 128GB and 8GB of RAM, although 4GB is okay as long as it's user...

It seems like after the first firmware update, most of the talk about overheating issues went away. I suppose it also helps that the C70 was released so the people that are strictly video now have an RF mount body that they can use. At least the EOSHD guy has shut up with his class action...

I picked one up yesterday. I was hoping my old phone would hold out a few more weeks until the 5G version came out, but it bricked itself yesterday morning. So far it seems pretty snappy. Of course I'm also coming from an original Pixel XL so I'm sure anything is going to be an upgrade. The...

Monitor calibration drifts over time. I re-calibrate every other month. If I wait a few months there is a noticeable difference in the before and after previews. Get an older Spyder 4 or 5 from eBay, even the Spyder Express version and then download DisplayCal for free and use that for...

My computer at my studio. It's an i5 8400 and a Radeon RX 580. I started with the latest drivers and kept downloading the next oldest ones until DaVinci Resolve would finally recognize I had a card that supports OpenCL.

I'm still using Radeon drivers from September 2018 on one system because Devinci Resolve doesn't recognize my card for OpenCL processing with anything newer.

Hey, so I'm finally upgrading my editing PC which is a i7 2600k. It's pretty much only going to be used for Photoshop and Lightroom. That said, I'm looking at either the i5 8400 or i7 8700 non-k. I'm really not interested in overclocking this one. But going to 6 cores will be nice. Does...

1/250th. I was shooting with studio strobes.

Hmm...I s'pose it's about time I posted something this year :)

The owner if the photo is indeed the photographer and you're also correct that the subject is entitled to make a claim as well. Any time you take pictures with something recognizable in the background and use it for anything besides personal use, the photographer needs to get a signed property...

The Median filter worked pretty well...it basically left me with a few corners to clean up, but that's it!

Yeah, these shots are tough going. For now I've just made a new blank layer and have been brushing over it at about 5% flow and sampling the colors a ton. That doesn't really help me in the shadow areas though. Here's where I'm at on the image I'm currently working on. Needless to say, she's...

Here's a post processing question for you. Got any good tips for cleaning up footprints and scuff marks quickly when shooting on seamless paper or a really dirty cyc wall? I was shooting at someone else's studio the other day and this is pretty much what I had to work with:

Those look like the models from Nino's shootout. I was tempted to make a roadtrip down there for it, although at the last workshop of his that I went to, I learned way more from the editing part than the lighting/shooting part of it.

Very nice work! I'll post something up eventually...I haven't shot anything yet this year though!

I have a couple Pelican 1514's that I use for lighting equipment. But that's kind of why I want the backpack...so I can wear my camera gear on my back while lugging rolling cases of lighting gear around and maybe save myself a trip hauling gear on location shoots. I looked a some Thinktank...

What brands/models do you guys prefer for backpack style camera bags. I've outgrown my current KATA 3N1-30 sling bag and need something bigger. I need it to be able to hold a gripped body with a 70-200 f/2.8 attached to it as well as a 2nd body and 5-6 lenses (17-40, 24-70, 35, 50, 85, and...

In T-Mobile's case, no...since the court didn't order T-Mobile to do anything.
