I'm jealous my 2007 Mazda3's steering wheel flying M is chipping and it's like basically white now. I have no idea how it started but I can't fix it. I'm waiting till it becomes all white. Maybe it will look okay.

Your's looks great. : /

Quick question for all the photographers out there. Been using a 30D body for a while, and loved that camera. My dad recently got a 40D for cheap, and I used it for the first time not long ago. After downloading the pictures, we noticed there was a hot pixel. It was coming out red in every shot. What was odd was when I opened the .cr2 image in Photoshop, there was no hot pixel. It would show up in the raw preview where you set the resolution, dpi, etc. before it actually opens for editting, but quickly disappear on it's own. Has anyone had this happen to them as well? When I open the jpeg in Photoshop, the hot pixel is there, with the cr2, it isn't.

that's weird, can you open the raw in photoshop?

 

[Falango]

Yep. I've been able to open it, edit, it, everything. As soon as the raw opens in the preview box in Photoshop (where you can edit the temperature, light filter, dpi, etc) it's there, then disappears quickly, and never comes back unless I cancel, and reopen it to that window. If I continue into Photoshop, it doesn't appear. Never seen the problem before, and it never shows up while editting or after saving.

so then do all your work in the raw then save it (as jpeg/whatever) and not care... I know it's still an issue, but if the end result is fine then just deal with it for now

 

[Falango]

I have been, it's just an odd thing that seems to correct itself before the image even opens, lol. Just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced it before at all.

I'd say mess with the tone curve, but you risk losing that definition between buildings and sky.


nice shot though!

Thanks for that link Funky. It seems the Camera Raw utility has a hot pixel remover built in, so I guess it was doing it's work. I'll still check out the manual clean mode though, would be nicer to have the camera fix the problem, not post-production stuff.
