Good morning, Captain!
I’m really enjoying your work. It’s top-notch. And I especially look forward to seeing more of your HDR panos.
Question: When you say “Processing Time: 30 minutes,” what precisely do you mean by processing time? Your time manipulating with Photomatix and Topaz? Or do are you referring to something else?
Best,

Hi Kim, if the view have water like this..it mean photography..especially HDR photography ..with the reflection..will give impact to the photo
@Peter – Thanks for the compliments. When I say processing time I generally mean the entire time it took me to create the photo. Includes everything from Photomatix to Topaz and Photoshop.
Kimo,
You mention that you use topaz clean to smooth pixels. What do you mean by that? Doesn’t Denoise remove noise and smooth pixels?
Thanks’
@Doug – If you have Clean use it and you’ll see what I mean. Don’t look at the overall filtered result or stylized photo. You’ll need to zoom in on the pixels to see. Denoise does a great job removing noise but when you zoom in you’ll notice there are still too many pixels with different colors. Clean will simplify this.
dear c=Captain Kimo,
I am not a photographer . I make jewelry and photograph my work for a web site. I am having a problem with uploading to the web store because instead of opening there it is opening in photoshop. Can you help me correct this problem?
I think i saw you at the wet lands. I am the amputee with the dragon prosthesis.
Thank you for any help you can render.

@Bert – You’ll have to be much more specific. Are you running on windows or mac?
@Bert – No problem Bert… file extension was the first thing that came to mind. I’m glad you were able to figure it out.
