backing up on to DVD
.... Now what if, as happened to a company I worked for, the oil depot over the back fence explodes, rendering the building unsafe and reducing the computer room (which also contains the backup disks) to 100 tons of rubble.... Foresight was lacking a bit there then! When I was the IT vol...

backing up on to DVD
I'm skeptical that cheap brands are really that much worse than expensive ones. I've now tested again mine that that are more than a couple of years old and they're fine. It may have been more a problem some years ago, but DVD disc technology has since improved and seems at a reasonable standard...

. For Example: Hard Disc Drive, which can be as large as 1,000 Gigabites (GB) the best price for one of that size is approx £135. Hope it helps First, I am only an amateur Photographer, but I do dabble in PCs to some extent. HDD is my preferred route for any back-up, although I would not use a ...

I must admit I just can't imagine going on holiday and not taking photographs. Even before I was really interested in photography as a hobby in its own right, I can't remember a holiday where I didn't have a camera. .... I can relate to this - when I went on holiday with my best mate I used up nearl...

Discussion: Weekly competition no. 42 'Our House'
Galoot and John- I'm particularly partial to cat pictures at the moment, my cat have finally expired last month after many years of good and faithful service (including quite a lot of sleeping...) He was never much one for catching mice though - I think he thought that was all a bit below him (or...

New User HELP
The Pentax DSLR has a magnification ration of about 1.5, so a 90mm would get about the same field of view as a 135mm on a non-DSLR full frame camera. If field of view is all you're concerned about, that should do it, but there are of course other factors, dictated by physics, that go into definin...

another thing it is important to realise is that the differences between "digital" and "non-digital" lenses are largely marketing spin. There are some improvements in glass coatings and digital lenses may have been re-designed to reduce the dreaded purple fringing, but in terms o...

PhotoLab 'Highlight Adjustment'
I don't know about back in the days of version 2 (as that was before I had discovered Silkypix), but the Free version of 3 was as it was now about a year ago before Shortcut Software had taken over the sales side of the business. The software is still developed Ichikawa Soft Laboratory.

PhotoLab 'Highlight Adjustment'
Just replying to the original question... The Highlight Adjustment only works if you have exposed to keep the highlights in the first place! In other words, it cannot recover what was blown out in-camera! It is a two stage process: 1) At capture, you ensure you underexpose enough to preserve ...

Thanks, George, for being complimentary about my photo, it encouraged me to do some more work on it: http://windywalls.net/Photo/08/080414-0332a.htm Apart from anything else, the previous version clearly fell between two stools, neither conveying much info about the tower, nor working as a str...

GIMP
Hei ! Got a solution already. The pic of my screen is taken already when it is OK. Just added red arrows.... I guess it was sth with inverting selections. Although I did it unknowingly. And it happened while Gimp crached. Story is simple: took the phone, moved the mouse on the tablet ...

Weekly Competition No. 43 "Local Shop and Keeper"
I too didnt enter this week - tow reasons - one I will be away at the deadline for next week should I have won (I leave next Sunday), and also because this week we had two public holidays after each other, Wednesday and Thursday, so many people have made a long weekend of it, including our local far...

The near future.....perhaps
Hi John, Well, there really has been far less inovation by SLR makers (during the lst 30 years) than in nearly every other area of consumer product.... There has, of course been the advent of digital, but this was effectively forced upon makers rather than being a result of their inovation,......

Printing photos
I am currently printing a couple of photos to frame and hang in an exhibition at our local arts centre. They are part of the work done for my course there and are supposed to encourage others to take the course. But it got me thinking - of all the thousands of photos you take how many, if any do ...

Printing photos
Bought a photo printer a while back and printed off a couple to test. They were lovely. Never used it since :shock: ;) The reason that my photo's are all widescreen and left uncropped (dimension-wise) is that I use mine for PC Desktop backgrounds. The OH does too (we have large monitors that sho...

Printing photos
I wouldn't worry unduly about not printing off loads of pics. Just take a moment to recal when you were using film and you got a set of prints back from the lab, you probably looked at them a couple of times showed them round family and friends and then they got put away and rarely saw the light ...

Printing photos
I wouldn't worry unduly about not printing off loads of pics. I don't print off loads of pics, it was just that it occurred to me that I rarely print them off and they do look good printed. I don't have the wall space for many framed photos, but sometimes it is nice to have a print to show peopl...
