  • Chapter 4.1 Focus, page 127
    • In the first paragraph, replace “DLSR” with “DSLR”.
  • Chapter 4.2 Diffraction, page 133
    • Update the paragraph at the bottom of the left column to clarify when visible diffraction appears based on my research for diffraction.cAm. “If the size of the Airy disk is smaller than a single pixel three pixels on the camera’s sensor, there is no apparent diffraction. Of course, there is still diffraction, but practically speaking, it is not impacting image sharpness. The concentric rings outside of the Airy disk are less of a factor. If the size of the Airy disk is larger than a single pixel three pixels, then the effect of diffraction will be visible in the image as reduced sharpness.”
  • Chapter 5.2 Digital Camera Profiles for White Balance, page 197
    • Update copy at the top of the page. “The following programs require benefit from a custom digital camera profile for most camera and infrared filter combinations:”
  • Appendix A Profiles, page 291
    • Update to clarify that color swap profiles are supported by all variations of Lightroom, but not all versions.
    • “This allows you to edit infrared images in all versions of Lightroom variations of Lightroom from April 2018 or later, without a round trip to Photoshop and without extra PSD or TIF files.”
    • Thanks to Alex Zahnd.

    • Updated the copy under Autofocus with Mirrorless Cameras to clarify that mirrorless camera autofocus can use both contrast detection and phase detection.
    • “Since mirrorless cameras do not use a retractable mirror, they dispense with phase detection autofocus occurs directly on the image sensor with both electronic viewfinders (EVF) and rear screens. They only offer contrast detection autofocus with both electronic viewfinders (EVF) and rear screens. There is no need for lens calibration with mirrorless cameras.”
    • Thanks to Karsten Bruun Qvist.
  • Chapter 4.2 Diffraction, page 133
  • Chapter 5.6 Enhanced Profiles for Lightroom, page 237
    • Updated the last paragraph on the page to clarify role of Photoshop.
    • ”This process does require Photoshop. Creating these profiles yourself does require Photoshop. Several steps are needed to set up this workflow, but they are straightforward and only need to be completed once. Photoshop is not required to use the profiles, nor is it needed if you wish to purchase them.”
    • Thanks to Karsten Bruun Qvist.
  • Chapter 5.6 Enhanced Profiles for Lightroom, page 238

    • “A filter that allows longer wavelengths above the indicated value to pass. This is the same as a high-pass filter.”
  • Appendix C Glossary, page 305
    • Updated the copy for phase detection autofocus.
    • “This is the optical viewfinder focusing system used by DSLR cameras and some mirrorless cameras. On DSLRs, these systems are calibrated for visible light and will not accurately focus with infrared light unless used with a specifically calibrated lens.”
    • Thanks to Karsten Bruun Qvist.
  • Appendix C Glossary, page 306
    • Added entry for short-pass filter.
    • “A filter that allows shorter wavelengths below the indicated value to pass. A UV bandpass filter is a short-pass filter.”
  • Appendix C Glossary, page 308
    • Updated the copy under UV bandpass filter.
    • “A low-pass or short-pass filter designed to transmit UV light while blocking visible light. The opposite of a UV filter.”
