Why are Pentax Cameras better then Canikons?
Could have been the viewfinder was out of focus, but if it was..it was a long way out :shock: I have the eyepiece adjustment of my K10D as far as it will go (i.e. blind as a bat setting and even then it isn't quite far enough) and sometimes others get a bit confused so it may be the same thing. B...

PSE has always had Layers, but, as far as I know, it doesn't have Layer Masks (the white rectangle at the right hand side on the same layer). Useful things Layer Masks you can apply a Levels to get say the sky correct and by painting with black at 100% on the Layer Mask remove the effect from the...

Useful things Layer Masks you can apply a Levels to get say the sky correct and by painting with black at 100% on the Layer Mask remove the effect from the foreground. You can do this all over the picture with any Adjustment Layer. If you make a mistake just paint with White will remove the mask and...

cleaning sensor with a gittos rocket
Hi However, now when I look through the viewfinder the screen is absolutely clarted up with fibres an I cant see how to get rid of it. It is a real pain, any ideas please. Cheers It might be a pain, however that is where it stops! It does not impact on images and you get used to a certain am...

Polarising filter
Has anyone had a linear polarizer interfere with focusing or metering on modern cameras? I don't seem to have any problems and have heard other people report no issues on their cameras as well. Is this an issue that just doesn't exist any more? i.e. is this merely a myth perpetuated to sell hi...

Polarising filter
Also do get a CIRCULAR polariser not a linear polariser as I believe the latter interferes with the auto focusing Sorry if I've passed on bad information, but it's what I've been told. May-be other Camera systems are effected but not Pentax, or its only if you happen to have the polariser ex...

A tricky edit
Whilst photographing a leopard I did not notice / could avoid a branch between me and it, it is out of focus due to the difference in distance but annoying all the same. Could anyone suggest a method of editing which might reduce the impact of the branch as I took a great number of shots of the leo...

A tricky edit
Not a bad edit Terry... but there's still some artifacts left :) Here's a couple of suggestions: FIRST METHOD: 1. Create a new layer 2. Change layer blend mode to "Color" 3. Use the brush tool at 50% opacity. 4. Alt-click on the green colour and paint over the branch. Often this is the quicke...

fireworks
You can Google for answers, but I found a lot go into a lot of depth for the right timing and exposure. There really isn't much to it. Open the shutter and hold. Done. But some tips... - Manual focus. Find a distant object while light enough. - F2.8 - F22 (whatever works, but F8-F11 probabl...

Combs
I'm always converting from SilkyPix to 16 bit TIFF. When working in Photoshop I do see the 'comb' from time to time. Usually when you let Photoshop redo the histogram it gets back to normal. But I only do that when I fear that posterization (I think that is the correct term for the banding that John...

Raynox/Extension tubes
I had my eye on some Kenko Auto Extension Tubes at Warehouse Express to get when I'm back in the UK at Xmas which were going for £80, but these have now gone. Have done a search for Kenko tubes (Pentax)elsewhere and come up with very little and what there is is priced at £120 + p&p & I'd have to wai...

Raynox/Extension tubes
Have you considered buying used? theres nothing much to go wrong with extension tubes and as theres no glass involved it doesn't really matter on the make. I dont know if the Kenko ones you mention are Auto AF or just Auto, but I would have thought a good set of used "A" mount tubes would cost le...

Raynox/Extension tubes
The tubes are now online. . Could you tell me what information they relay from/to the lens. There is no coupling whatsoever. Totally manual. I've tried them on the K20D using the standard 18-55mm lens. This lens is not the ideal one but you'll see from the link above it's still really good qualit...

Raynox/Extension tubes
Thanks for that info Peter. Though I would prefer tubes which at least allow you to make some auto-adjustments, as I will probably use them with my DA zooms. Can anyone clarify something for me - am I right in thinking that tubes referred to as 'Auto' do have some coupling that allows for adjustm...
