Can you count the bricks?
Here's the view from my studio window as seen by the Phase One p65+. I took this handheld with the Mamiya 645 with a 80mm lens. The old buildings really help show off the amazing detail the p65+ canachieve. It's the 8x10 for the digital world.

It's all about megapixel
I've been running the Phase One P65+ through some tests to see how it improves over the P45. The first and mostobviousis it's 60megapixelvs. 39 megapixel for the p45. The 60 megapixel translates into a 173 MB (8-bit) TIFF file. That's up from the ...
I've been running the Phase One P65+ through some tests to see how it improves over the P45. The first and most obvious is it's 60megapixels. 39 megapixel for the p45. The 60 megapixel translates into a 173 MB (8-bit) TIFF file. That's up from the 112 MB file the P45 produced.
When shooting products it's important to be able to pull out all the fine details of thematerialused to construct the product. The example below of the MacBook Pro shows how well the detail holds up in the metal and the shift key. The added megapixel will contribute to sharper images and the ability to crop and still retain a large file size. Looks like I'll have to step up my dusting of the product before shooting, everything shows.

I use Apple's photo program, Aperture, for my photo workflow. Now that I've added theabilityto download a PDF of my portfolio from my website, I needed a fast and easy way to make them. Using Aperture's book layout as acustomlayout program I was able to make the PDF layout just how I wanted. I can add, delete andrearrangepages on the fly. Photos can be changed with a simple drag and drop. After I made the layout, I selected "Print" and then"Save as PDF." Yet this gave me a file that was about 100 MBway too big for adding to my website. Using "PDF Shrink" I was able to save a PDF compression action as a service. The service is thenavailablevia any program. Now when I save a PDF from Aperture I can select my newcustom websiteaction, producing a file that's only 8 MB verses 100 MB. Sounds complicated, but it makes a very simple workflow.
PhaseOne
Just got a call that my PhaseOne P65+ has arrived in LA. I should have it by Thursday. I'll have a day to test it and make sure it's working bug free. At the same time I'll also try and do some side by side test with the PhaseOne p45 and Canon 1Ds...
Just got a call that my PhaseOne P65+ has arrived in LA. I should have it by Thursday. I'll have a day to test it and make sure it's working bug free. At the same time I'll also try and do some side by side test with the PhaseOne p45 and Canon 1Ds Mark III. I'll post the results of the tests here, so check back.
