    Great video BUT...... Lightroom seems to be completely broken with its inability to store the correct paper settings in the print module. I am aware of other photographers totally frustrated with this known issue. Instead of being able to set the correct parameters under printer options for the paper I am using (Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Gloss) and using the correct Ilford ICC profile from Lightroom the selected parameters such as paper type, resolution, speed etc are cannot be locked down and saved. I am using an Epson Pro 3880 and it's hard to figure out if it's the Epson print Driver or Adobe Lightroom that is dodgy. I have tried trashing preferences in Lightroom but this has made no difference. I am using a Mac Studio M2, Sonoma OS and Lightroom Classic. - I have downloaded the latest Epson printer driver from the US site I can print in Photoshop successfully (!) but not as convenient. Advice welcome.

    For landscapes I have a Nikon FX 20mm f1.8 for lowlight and a FX 24-120 f4 zoom. The problem with using a long zoom for landscapes is atmospheric haze.

    • @RichardYoungPhotography
      @RichardYoungPhotography 3 дні тому

      I’ve been using the 24-120mm a lot lately. It’s a great lens and extremely sharp. Primes will always be a bit sharper, but these days the difference isn’t as much as it used to be.

  • @yonishperling1531

    I really liked that! Can you please share your thoughts/info on what to expect from the lifetime of Z8? The shutter is not mechanical but Nikon doesn't state anything about the endurance and wearing out so it is not unlimited. My guess here; if this is the replacement for D850 then it should be 0.5Millions shots 5-7 years without a problem

    • @RichardYoungPhotography
      @RichardYoungPhotography 3 дні тому

      Yes I used my D850 Yes, I used my D850 for five years with no problem at all. As this has just got an electronic shutter and built as a pro body, not a mechanical one, I can’t see this being an issue in the life of the camera.

    Unfortunately, paper size selection is now broken in Lightroom on MacOS after Sonoma 14.4, limiting you to a small subset of "standard" size papers. It still works correctly in most other applications, like Photoshop, Photos, Office, Epson Print Layout, etc. Any printer.

    • @RichardYoungPhotography
      @RichardYoungPhotography 3 дні тому

      It seems each time they do a macOS update. There’s a fallout with the Print driver, currently running on the latest version of OS 15 everything is fine. I expect when they bring our OS 16 the same will happen though! It sometimes pays to hold back for a couple of updates on a new OS.

    • @RichardYoungPhotography
      @RichardYoungPhotography 3 дні тому

      It’s really easy to set up custom boards using the layer options within the Print module in Lightroom. To get exact border sometimes you will need to make the decision whether you have different ratio boarders or you crop the image because it will depend on the aspect ratio of the image whether you can get exact borders.

    Thanks for this video! Recently purchased the Epson XP-15000 and this helped me understand the controls in lightroom and bring a little more clarity to what each function does. Quick question, you mentioned the Epson p800 having a native ppi of 360? What exactly does that mean? Also, how does it relate to the DPI you use while selecting your printing settings?

    • @RichardYoungPhotography
      @RichardYoungPhotography 3 дні тому

      PPI is pixels per inch, not to be confused with DPI which is droplets per an inch. The Epsom P 800 has a native PPI of 360 and then it prints at a DPI of 1440 or 2880. When you resize the file for printing this is when you select the PPI and when you print within the Print driver this is when you set the DPI.

    Once again another great video. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Nikon Z24-120 f4 lens. Giving you a little more than the 24-70 kit lens. And I’m also jealous of your beautiful landscapes that surrounds you.

    • @RichardYoungPhotography

      Im am gald you enjoyed it @patrickmcmahon818 - I think the 24-120mm is an exceptional quality and very versatile lens. I’m considering replacing my 24-70mm for one of these, and one of the reasons I mentioned it in the video. I think it would be brillaint to have the extra reach and one go-to lens when in a sitatuion when I having to work fast or out photographing in bad weather.

    My opinion is that the EVF is a major drawback for landscape photography. It simply cannot replicate the dynamic range of human vision. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the other advantage in z cameras but the times I had to adjust the exposure just to check the highlight and the shadows is annoying and makes composition so difficult. Separately there is the issue od limiting the dof preview to 5.6. Even my 15 year old D3 can do preview to whatever f stop you want is frustrating as well.

    • @RichardYoungPhotography
      @RichardYoungPhotography Рік тому

      On the Z 8, I set my View mode (photo LV) to "Adjust for easy of view" and I find this does a good job of balancing the EVF out for easy viewing and composition. I personally don't like the "Show effects of setting option" - I can see how some people might find this handy as the EVF changes as you change exposure/setting, but I find this hard to compose with when turned on. I'm finding the EVF on the Z8 a lot better than the EVF on the Z7, which I struggled using. It is also worth turning on "High fps viewfinder display" on the Z8, at 120fps it look so much more nature that when turn off (60fps)

  • @patrickmcmahon818
    @patrickmcmahon818 Рік тому

    Fantastic review of the Z8. Like you, I moved away from the D850 but it took me a little longer to do it. While keeping my D850 I picked up a Z6 a few years back just to have a fun camera and see if mirrorless was something I was interested in. Using only the kit 24-70 f4 that it came with, I began to notice that I was enjoying the Z6 more than my D850. The new Z lenses seemed to be a perfect match to the mirrorless body and the images were beautiful. Just recently I made the big switch, selling my D850 and all my f-mount lenses and picking up a Z9 (just before the release of the Z8) along with new Z lenses. Best move I’ve made! Look forward to seeing more videos from you in the future.

    • @RichardYoungPhotography
      @RichardYoungPhotography Рік тому

      Thanks @patrickmcmahon818 I'm glad you enjoyed the review. The new Z lenses are brilliant including the 24-70mm f4 kit lens which I really enjoy having as a compact zoom, I'm just about to post another video covering lenses on the Z8 so watch out for that :)

    That’s great that you can now remove all the information from the viewfinder and live view screen. That can be quite frustrating when trying to fine tune your composition. The other draw card is the sensor shield for when changing lenses. If I had the money, the Z8 would be my choice.

    • @RichardYoungPhotography
      @RichardYoungPhotography Рік тому

      Hi Nicola, hope you are doing well! Yes it probably the thing I am liking most about it, a 100% clean viewfinder and screen so I can fully concentrate on only the composition. The exposure setting are all on the top LCD display when I want them and the great thing is the exposure setting also pop back up in the viewfinder as soon as you turn one of the dials too. On the Z 6 and Z 7 this was a real problem with the info on top of the image. I can not remember what model you have? If it is a Z 6ii or Z 7ii you can do a work around on this and set one of the custom FN buttons to "Live View Info Display Off", I have done this on my Z FC and it works well.

    I’ve recently sold my EPSON P800 to a friend. Until that point, it’s served me well on my MacBook Pro. He uses a windows 11 laptop and is just starting with Adobe LRc etc. initially on usb / plugging in it looked good as it self set up! However, only yesterday he tried to print for the first time and then found out it is ‘stuck’ on A4 paper size ~ I had a look (4h later)!!! I was unable to resolve. I deleted all files etc for EPSON, went to EPSON online and downloaded drivers etc…. Still no joy ~ the printer unable to install. We then WiFi connected ~ fine, and it was now in his list of add ons on laptop; but still unable to change paper size???? Please can you help

BUT the result is bad! very dull colours and not calibrate colours to my eyes. What did i miss here? (1) Not downloading paper profile to my Lightroom? (2) Sending to print from my iPad Pro? (because first, i should export an image from lightroom mobile to ipad and then send to print from ipad through IOS). (3) not calibrating my display for print? (4) trusting Apple display (and i need to buy Benq special monitor)? or els? please advise.

      Hi, It could quite easily be all 4 of the above! This video covers how to print in Lightroom but not anywhere near a colour manage workflow which is what you will need to fully understand to get all the colours right on your prints. I cover this full and in-depth in my online fine art print course at www.photoschool.nz/online-course-fine-art-printing/ which comes with over 5hr of videos and a book colour management - which is the most important part of printing to understand.
