My current 5K wallpaper, the sharpest I ever had. Most of the colors (esp. blue) are in ProPhoto so this sRGB version looks a bit dull.

Thiese are spectacular images. The color and sharpness are excellent. Nicely done!

There are no words to describe these. Colors are magnificent.

I have recently entered this studio field(bought my wemacro) and can imagine how difficult things are.

As of now I am still struggling with my lighting, keeping specimens clean and how to mount my specimens.

The forum is always open in a separate tab on my office computer.

So when you say you have scripts/plugins in PS, these are specific catered to studio macro editing?

Lot of information to process.

Stunning shots! I checked your Flickr, too, congrats, all your photos are amazing!

Not at all, they can be used for everything. I doubt the creators knew how useful they are for macro. I'm way more into retouching than photography, I think it's the other way around for most other macro photographers, so don't think they do something magical, there are still hours in this.

Thanks for checking my Flickr ^^

Very nice. Are there new monitors that display the full ProPhoto gamut?

[mygale]

Thats not possible.

[Lou Jost]

That's what I thought.

I can totally imagine this. As a beginner in the studio world, I am in awe what all goes behind to get that one shot.
