    New CF/SD card reader - USB 3.0, UDMA.. which one?

    Hi martsharm and gerryrs. Many thanks for your speedy comments, both of those look good. Whilst I can't find the speed for transferring the data direct from my camera, looking at how fast these readers are shifting data, they're clearly much quicker. I've got a 4 year old iMac with USB 2 and...

    New CF/SD card reader - USB 3.0, UDMA.. which one?

    Hi Guys, I've got an EOS 5d Mk3 and I usually upload files straight from the camera via the USB cable. I'm thinking of getting a CF card reader, but I can't find anywhere that says what the data transfer speed is on my current setup for comparison? Any ideas what the transfer speed from the...

    /Users/matthewbrooks/Desktop/screenshot 1.tiff Hi Jonathan, probably not the best example as I've already tweaked most of the ones that I had issues with, but this one looks way too dark. I know that the histogram reflects this... I'll troll through for a better example Matt

    Imported shots too dark in Lightroom 4

    Hi Jonathan. Right - I've run through the steps you suggested. Import into LR4 - looks the same brightness as the web version. Export to Desktop then open in 'Preview' - again, the same as the web version, the same as LR4. I then copied the exported file onto my Android Device.... colours looked...

    Imported shots too dark in Lightroom 4

The thing that actually made the most difference was just turning the brightness down on...
