Windows 8
From what you are saying there seems no point in me buying a PC with OS 8 so perhaps it would be best to opt for the 7 at least that should be over it's teething problems. So far I have used 95,98 ME, XP and Vista and the only one I have had real problems with since I had a Commodore 64, is the ...

Windows 8
Hi, what a grumpy lot at Christmas. I updated my four year old i7 powered PC to Windows 8. Works all my Serif software (photo, web, DTP ,Draw etc) fine. The free streaming music moe than makes up for the £24.99 upgrade. It starts up better, manages memory better, the new File History function...

Bring back an updated version of Windows 98SE :shock: :mrgreen: No thanks. XP or 2000 perhaps but not 98SE. 7 is doing fine for me. I would like to see you run Lightroom on 98SE.:(

I would get rid of Vista, an appalling OS and go with Win 7 Pro 64 bit with all the Ram you can. Excellent suggestion, I have just gone back to that from Windows 8

Windows 8
I don't like finger marks on my monitors so I definitely do not want a touchscreen laptop. I have only recently upgraded to win 7. A forced upgrade as my XP pro laptop of 5 years succumbed to a spillage of coffee. Got a Samsung laptop with the fastest i7, 16gb memory, 2 x 750gb and 32gb ssd. N...

[quote:3496ace15f="cabstar"]I don't like finger marks on my monitors so I definitely do not want a touchscreen laptop. Not really been impressed with win 7 but can't go back as I need win 7 for lr4. The permission system is so frustrating and work arounds don't work. MS seem to be taking back...

Windows 8
You can't turn off the Metro interface in Windows 8, there is no 'classic' option, though there are 3rd party bits of software that will put the start menu back, etc. I've had a play with it and didn't have any issues personally, though I do tend to launch most things from the Run dialog box or u...

Variable ND Filters and Metering problems
I've just sent back the 77mm version from 7Dayshop. I have the 62mm version and had slightly more success with that. It could well have been me and not the filter :) 77mm ND Tamron 10-24mm on K5. Help :shock: #1 #2 #3 #4

Variable ND Filters and Metering problems
@ tyronet/ Stan Unfortunately, those dark bands are a feature of this type of variable ND filter. The wider the angle lens, the worse the banding. It means that widening the lens angle means that the amount of 'stopping' you can do reduces. I have a 67mm one from 7dayshop and nearly sent it ba...

Variable ND Filters and Metering problems
Stan, the banding your images exhibit are caused by turning the variable ND filter too far to the maximum setting. Tweak it back a little and these bands will disappear. I know that many will say 'what's the use if you can't set them at maximum', but to be fair these filters are not expensive and ...

Variable ND Filters and Metering problems
davidstorm... They are never going to compete with a Lee Big Stopper and I don't think anyone would expect them to. I've seen the Big Stopper advertised David, fantastic prices and I believe there is up to a 12 month waiting list for them too. I think its like everything in photography, practice an...

Prints haven't got the same 'pop' as on screen images
Don't you also have to consider that the monitor image is back lit, which will naturally give it more "pop".

Don't you also have to consider that the monitor image is back lit, which will naturally give it more "pop". That's a fair point Barrie, but the difference I'm seeing is huge.

Prints haven't got the same 'pop' as on screen images
True colours are actually very dull and boring :shock: Kodak used to make a Professional Colour Film called Vericolor that had very true colours, most amateurs that used it were unhappy with the colours and went back to Kodacolor that had enhanced reds and greens :mrgreen: So all this talk...

Second K5
My son Adam has the K20D and it's a big beast compared to the later models. I also think the back screen menu system is much improved since. I sympathise though if things change from what you are used to. Going from KX/KR to the fully specced 9and buttoned) K5 has been a big change for me. Worth it ...
