This is one of my favorite animal photographers! She has an entire section of her website dedicated to the gear she uses, as well as blog posts on her lenses - http://scruffydogphotography.com/index.php/the-scruffy-dog-gear-2/ She also offers mentoring if you ever want to learn from her one on one.

Have you checked the focus on this yet? The little boys eyes seem OOF and I think thats the most important part, right?

Tips on where to start
Samantha LaRue replied to newbornphotog's topic in How to achieve a certain look or effect
Glad ya'll got that cleared up -
You can add contrast back in when you move to PS. But in raw, preserve the details.

Yes, you can always sign up right here: http://www.damiensymonds.net/trainingraw.html There is a waiting still, I believe, for the Deluxe version - but you can get started reading right away.

Which movie? I was able to look it up on IMDB for the recent one, but I'm guessing you could look up the old ones too. For The Force Awakens: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2488496/technical

You should be able to just open File/Windows Explorer or Finder and select them all and drag+drop them into the dropbox loader. Is that not what you've been doing? The XMP files are always separate from the raw files. It sounds like you might have been converting to DNG somewhere along the way if you've never had to deal with the XMP files before.

Roes Error
Samantha LaRue replied to Ashleigh's topic in Output - print, websites, Facebook, email, client disk, etc
Sometimes this pops up because you accidently saved it as "progressive" or one of those other weird JPEG versions. It also sometimes pops up because ROES is just dumb. Can you first try updating ROES, then try restarting your computer? And then try saving them again, making sure it's on Baseline/Standard? -
Problems saving PSD

i have honestly never noticed this! -
ColorMunki Photo replacement?
Samantha LaRue replied to Rob G's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
I was thinking more along the lines of it being compatible with the new monitors you'll be purchasing. But your OS could play a role too. -
Problems saving PSD
Samantha LaRue replied to Nige's topic in Photoshop / Elements / Bridge / ACR questions or problems
Not one that I've heard. Perhaps Damien knows? I kinda like the popup because it's a good reminder for me to go back to look at my history and make sure that I yes did in fact save the PSD prior to resizing and making my jpeg. Also, this isn't usually an issue because most of the time I edit a bunch of PSDs, and then turn them into jpegs all at once via Image Processor. That pop-up doesn't appear when you do that since it only creates new jpegs in a separate folder. -
ColorMunki Photo replacement?
Samantha LaRue replied to Rob G's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
I think you've gotten sufficient years out of that one to warrant a replacement. http://www.damiensymonds.net/what2buy_cal.html If you want to be more conservative, you can wait until your computer and monitors are all set up and then see if the calibrator still works properly. But where is the fun in that? -
Just make sure you've done all your raw editing first - including noise removal.
-
You posted 2 different pictures, can you post the "before" of the bottom one too? Make sure it's SOOR (all raw editing done, no PS work) Also, are you in the levels class?

Raw+JPG is recording as JPG+JPG
Samantha LaRue replied to mombomb23's topic in Miscellaneous questions or problems
And could you have used something like Photos or iPhoto or other software to transfer your photos to your computer? When you say you checked the cards again - do you mean you had the cards themselves hooked up to your computer and you viewed their contents in finder? Or were you looking at the folders that LR stored the files in? -
Matte Effect plus?
Samantha LaRue replied to JudyM's topic in How to achieve a certain look or effect
Do you have any images with a strong backlight? Yours are all very evenly lit, and I think part of the editing you're finding the most appealing is due to her dramatic lighting. It looks like heavy haze to me...as in, done in camera due to the strong light. (example of an old photo I took, SOOR) -
You are not the first person to report this in the recent weeks. At least the third I've seen. I'm going to go pull up the other posts and see if I can find similarities. I think they may all be PC users at least. Hmm, so the one I was thinking of was a Mac user. And the other 2 were slightly different issues. And then I found a 4th, but her toggle wasn't working when she flicked between profiles.
