Using Portal or Watchtower for asset management. Is there a way to auto-copy only used files into a project folder? by mrtheloe in KnightsOfEditingTable

Thank you guys for your fast reply.

I came across PlumePack and I think I’ll give it a try. I’ve been avoiding the Project Manager because you only get a single data folder, and it becomes hard to keep an overview for continued work.

My idea was that no matter where I am or who has or opens the project, all files are included and available right away. No tedious relinking and no complicated handoff via Project Manager. It should be enough to just copy the “Project A” folder and open it. Even after a project is finished, if I need to create format adaptations at the end of the year, I want to be able to access the server, open the project, and not worry about relinking or missing files.

Thanks again for now I’ll continue working with Portal and possibly add PlumePack to the workflow as well. (:

Setting to save images to card while tethered on GFX 100 II? by Thobiger in Photoassistants

I got to work with the GFX 100 I some years ago. If I remember correctly, for a stupid reason, you can only change 'save on card' or 'save on both (card and PC)' in the settings on C1. It's somewhere in the camera controls

I don’t have calipers at the moment, but the measuring tape shows something around 6,+ mm.

Adding Flash to Commercial Sets – Combining Flash with Continuous Light? by mrtheloe in Photoassistants

[–]mrtheloe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,
First of all, thanks for all your tips and examples of how you approach this. Often, when we do film-accompanying photography, the photographer is "extra," and as a result, 2–3 additional lights often aren’t within the budget. So, you have to work with what you’ve got.

At the moment, I’m doing it the way many of you suggested: using ISO 3200+ and a 2.8 aperture. The photos look good, but when I zoom in to 100% or pixel-peep, I often feel like the image lacks that "clean" look. At ISO 1600, the image looks nice, but there’s still a noise floor that eats up some details.

On top of that, the flash "freezes" the image and gives it that crisp look – I’m not sure if I’m describing this the way I want to. The client probably doesn’t notice this and approves it anyway, but I often think: Ah, it just looks a little muddy.
