The zoom feature is missing from DT... No kidding. Some toughts... Stealing a part of the image at 1:1 view... A decent watermarking system can prevent this. Nobody thinks, images online are not in perfect focus, but the question can be "actually... where is the focus?" Without examing at 1:1 pixels the image it's impossible to tell! Even reading the pixel dimensions of the image, doesn't suggest how big is the resolution (12mpx+ images), seeing 1:1 pixels can be shocking if the quality is very high! Some details aren't visible at thumbnail size. Actually this is my biggest problem. Example: I have a nice render of a chain, but the image is 20:3 ratio, at the thumbnail size the image height is very low AND none of the buyers will see the nice metallic texture I worked on 3 hours. How will know the buyer if this is a flat, amateur-like 3d-render or it's really a high quality image???? Another example is 'Rhodes harbor panorama' (although a successful image), it's very wide but at thumbnail size you cannot figure out what is on the image... posted in Suggestions being repeatedly ignored?

When you are outside, it's best to shot your subject in shadow while the background is the sky/horizon or a white wall lit by the sun. Due to high difference of lighting the background will be simply burned out. Also consider the following things: - shot in raw and work with 16-bit files, when you are ready, convert back to 8-bit - put the camera in manual mode and expose correctly the SUBJECT. Don't let the camera decide the exposure. You may want to overexpose by 2/3 stops - to isolate correctly the subject without hair, use a lasso tool to draw selection around the object, give an 1-2 pixel feather, and make a new layer from the subject, then overexpose the background until becomes white. posted in Removing Background
