Using the Wrong Document Setting

When it comes to resolution, pixel dimensions matter… DPI does not. DPI will only affect your printed image. Also, if you are planning to print, stop converting your image to CMYK before printing. Your printer probably has it’s own custom color profile that will produce more accurate results than Photoshop conversion. In other words, DPI doesn’t make a difference if you don’t print it, don’t convert CMYK. Let’s your printer it.

Unnecessary Luminosity Masking

Light is an important element to highlight your image. Light helps to create a particular mood within the photograph and can bring emphasis to key elements within a frame. In addition, light can help create depth and textures in an image by creating a mix of highlights and shadows.

If the ability to affect Shadows, Highlights, and Midtones individually is built into a tool, use luminosity masking is great choice. Many of Photoshop’s filters and effects will let you specifically target highlights, shadows or midtones anyway.If you forget to use luminosity masking for your project, let’s stop wasting time and use the build-in masks.

Overprocessing

The need of HDR is in the growing use of panoramic images. An HDR panorama will provide more immersive detail, providing detail observable to the human eye in the real-life scene that would otherwise be lost by traditional photography.

So, let’s stop with the plastic frequency separation, overcooked HDR and ridiculous vibrance levels. No matter how advanced a Photoshop user, are immune to making post-processing mistakes.

It is difficult to find and answer DSLR or Mirroless which is the best for users due to depending on many factors. But the first step we have to know and understand the basic knowledge about DSLR and Mirroless.

DSLR is a digital camera that uses mirrors to direct light from the lens to the viewfinder. When you press the shutter button, the mirror flips up, a shutter opens and the light falls onto the image sensor. A mirrorless camera is a digital cameras without using mirrorless, light passes through the lens.  When you take the photos,  you need to focus on LSC screen or put your eyes in the electronic viewfinder (EVF).

Size and Weight

fotosolution-dslr-and-mirrorless-which-is-great-and-appropriate-choice-for-you-2

For DSLR, its body are comparatively larger, because it includes mirror and a prism. If you need to choice a camera for travel, for portrait shooting,.. mirrorless will a great companion for you.

Autofocus Speed

Autofocus speed is viewed as the most obvious differences of two camera lines. In term of technique angles, the autofocus speed of DSLR are better and faster than Mirrorless. Mirrorless cameras were restricted to a technology called contrast detection, which uses the image sensor to detect the highest contrast. That’s the reason why the contrast detection is slower than DSLR. But, Mirroless camera has some camera lines as: Sony A6000 or Niko V3 that have a big development step on autofocus speed.

However, when you shoot some images as: sport athletes, birds flying in the sky, the deer herd, herd of horses running in the woods .. using DSLR with tele lens and automatic autofocus speed will great and effective solution.

The quality of image

Generally, both types of camera can take high – quality pictures and similar resolution. If Canon’s 5D with resolution passed  50.6 MP , Sony’s A7 line of cameras use the even larger full-frame sensor type found in the best professional DSLRs. To summary, with equivalent sensors and image processors, we can confirm that both camera types can take great photos with high – quality color as well as resolution.

Video quality

Both types of camera are together owning the best modern camera with the effective 4D video quality. However, principles of DSLR are that use mirrorless and this is one of weak points. So, when photographer choice DSLR, they have to use the slower, less accurate, contrast-detection focus method. This leads to the familiar blur-blur look in the middle of a video when the camera capture for the right focus.

Mirrorless use hybrid autofocus mechanism (hybrid AF) that help them avoid the restriction like DSLR. With superior autofocus in most models, mirrorless cameras provide the best results for most filmmakers. In addition, the duration of Mirrorless video is better than DSLR’s duration because of the overheating of DSLR. This make the duration of DSLR dropped sharply, only from 15-20 minutes in while Mirrorless video are from 30-40 minutes.

Lenses and Accessories

The early appearance and the development of DSLR help it own many various lenses comparison with Mirrorless. Choosing a DSLR gives you access to a plethora of lenses from a number of manufacturers, ranging from cheap and satisfactory to professional and wildly expensive. Mirrorless models are more restricted, offering access to a small number of lenses from the camera maker.
