Best raw conversion software?
Peter, do you use this for PEF or DNG files please? When I try to open a PEF file the software crashes! John, as far as I know RawTherapee doesn't support PEF (I tried it myself a few months back), you would need to stick with DNG if you opt for RawTherapee. The latest version of RawTherapee (v.2.4....

Best raw conversion software?
With C1v4 you can select a Pentax profile with a DNG file instead of DNG neutral. I would've thought that would give the correct result, as DNG is purely a codec for extracting the signals from each of the 3 different colour channels just as PEF does, but it seems that this is not the case with C1, ...

More PENTAX in VOGUE Magazine
Lovely work! They have such a strong feel of the 1970`s about them. It is almost like stepping back in time. Wonderful!!! Regards - Pete.

When you are taking photographs that are important to you, try and remember that the last time you used the camera, you had switched it to manual focus!!! Nearly in focus just ain't good enough!! :oops::oops::(

I have done nearly all of the above :oops::oops::oops: A lovely crisp day last winter. Took my son for a walk around Llangollen. Some brilliant pics to be taken...no memory card. You'll all know of the image of Jacob with the rally driver where I'd left it on ISO 1600. Half a dozen of my daughte...

Spend 5 minutes to figure out why the DA*50-135 didn't focus and missed some crucial shots but I used MF after that. In the car I found out I had putt the switch on the lens to MF :roll:

I'd nearly forgotten. Put a memory card in your camera. You'll find your camera will happily snap away without it! This one has bitten me on the a$$ several times! My old K100D wouldn't even turn on without a memory card inserted. The fact that the K20D behaves differently is quite irritating. ...

My tip would be to make sure your horizon is level (unless you purposely don't want it level). I swear one of my legs must be longer than the other! Fiona I think I read somewhere that the K10D does that on a lot of bodies .. it may not be you. I've read that as well, although much like the back ...

Latest news
I think they have had the same system in the USA for a couple of years now. Going back to Amins post a while back about SRS stocking Canon and Sony kit I think it may be a real possibility now because new buyers coming into the market use the internet a lot more and this can only take away sales ...

letter to the editor
As in, the Sensors are the same size as the ill fated Kodak APS Film. Launched as the next best thing to sliced bread, the Advanced Photo System featured a cartridge that would be able to wind itself in, then advance back to the right place if removed from the camera. The APS film supported th...

Capturing salmon
Are you talking about Stainforth Dave? I heard about that place a while back but then it passed out of memory (senile moment) Depends how near you can get to the bank of the river, or as Tim says the leap, 20 feet might not seem a long way but salmon are quite small compared to a river, I would tak...

Wow - did you catch that one ? If so was it on the fly as that would have been a killer to land on fly rod and line :shock: When I fish I cheat - its called 2.5 / 3lb test curve rods, safety bolt rigs, baitrunners and bite alarms - just sit back and wait for that big old carp to do all the hard w...

Capturing salmon
Any more suggestions gratefully received. Sit for half an hour or so and see if there's one spot that they jump up more than any others, or at least a regular leaping point. Then, pre-focus, set your exposure manually, camera on tripod, use a remote release (so that you're not trying to look throug...

To Breast or Not Too Breast in Fashion?

Re-sizing (again) images and keeping detail and bokeh character
Okay sorry for misunderstanding. With sharpening you reduce the out of focus blur and that with the smaller size image, the blur will even get less. The thing you can do is selective sharpening so only sharpen the men and not the children. If you can work in layers you can also reduce the pho...
