Printing tips, when buying in prints
Ref resizing there are differing opinions vs the "one shot" or stepped approach...I read quite recently (unfortunately can't remember where) that the small step approach using 10% is still best so have a Photoshop action for this - having said this I didn't really have any issue with bicubic smoothe...

Just bought a Huey Pro! As suggested, I RTfM, even photobox supports, , provide a , and have . giving suitable resolutions for viewing distances. However, just had 3 canvases back today 20"x16" cropped from APS-C images and they are fine. Colours more muted than the Mac and LR3, but I...

sports photography advice
There are many ways to go about sports photography. Don't forget that in days of yore manual focus cameras were used very successfully to capture the perfect moment. Try to press the shutter release just before the peak moment of action. The small delay before the shutter fires needs to be taken ...

Yes, I am English, and this is where I am coming from as far as photography is concerned; "A photograph or photo is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic imager such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a cam...

"The process and practice of creating photographs is called photography. The word "photograph" was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek φῶς (phos), meaning "light", and γραφή (graphê), meaning "drawing, writing", together meaning "dra...

It's not 'cheating' but I can't really understand why you'd want to do it. Maybe there's a person in the background with a red T-shirt on that draws the eye too much - in that situation I might locally desaturate reds to 'knock back' the T-shirt colour. That's not really cheating in my book, it's ju...

It'll be interesting to see the "final" cost of this Olympic games. An article I read a couple of days ago, from a US publication, put a conservative estimate of $38Billion USD, rather more than the initial £3.8Billion GBP they told us at the outset, and which has likely quadrupled (or more) since....

There is a project for this back in about 2000 that I signed up for as a potential tester. However the project never progressed. The prototype was a FF sensor that actually went where the film did and the equilivent of the film spool housed the electronics, processing engin (JPG only) and a USB po...

Draconian new Olympic camera rules
I was in the Olympic park yesterday and there were loads of spectators with DSLRs with largish lenses (70-200 and 70-300 by the look of them). If you want to carry a second lens just get your companion to carry it - everyone goes through a separate security channel. It's hard to see how they will be...

When I need to carry "sensitive" equipment, I put it in a backpack hanging in the back of my wife's wheelchair.

4.5" by 6" print size- irregular?
I know an inch doesn't sound like a big difference but the wedding photos that we received were 5" by 7" and the look much better than 4" by 6". Yes I agree - back when I used film I used to get 7.5 x 5 prints rather than 6 x 4. Looked a lot better. Surprised it's not a size that's still availab...

Getting back to Mannesty's original point about his netbook, I have an Acer One with Windows XP which cant run PS Elements and other programmes because the screen resolution is too small. I think the problem relly lies with netbooks.
