PC upgrade - what software upgrade?
Are there still people using Silkypix? A while back it was "the" RAW converter to use, I still use Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 4 but I don't think that I will upgrade to Pro 5. Pentax ship most cameras with Silkypix now (v. 3, I think) so I suppose some people must be using it. Strangely K5 II/S c...

PC upgrade - what software upgrade?
Lightroom use ACR for his editing so everything you can do in ACR you can do in Lightroom. One of the bonus is that it's completely integrated and it's very easy to apply a setting to another photo. Also Lightroom remembers all the changes you do so you can easily skip back to an earlier date or ev...

There will (should) be a key even for pre-installs. There should also be a set of "back-up" files on the PC somewhere which will allow a re-install in case of corruption so find thise and you should be OK. Download Belarc Advisor and run that. It will find keys for most applications. Ha...

Printing: DS Colour Labs
I've used them for several years, their lustre prints are excellent and I can't fault the print quality. Only problem I've had was a couple of weeks ago where my photos came back cropped too tightly, TBH it wasn't sorted 100% to my satisfaction although to be fair they did send replacement prints wh...

HELP! and I dont mean the song by the Beatles
1st rule..... Don't do anything in haste. 2nd...........If you don't know what you're doing - don't do anything Maybe these are back to front, but either way I think John's advise is sound. Just check that the 'repair man' also abides by the above. As its not his data to loose he can afford...

Found this over on another site. Haven't tried it yet.
I discovered the Open Source SmartDeblur v2.0 a while back. It is the newer v2.1 that is commercial. It (v2.0) works well on the supplied sample images, just like in the ExtremeTech article - but seemingly not so well on real images. I've just discovered that I still have it installed, but as I do...

Found this over on another site. Haven't tried it yet.
Way back a bit I used to use the DigiKam tool which included DeConvolution. I found it was less effective at sharpening than USM but its results were usually much more natural (to my eye). I rather liked it at the time, but now we have other modern edge-aware/artifact-free sharpening tools around ...

Bright harsh sunlight and the perception of superior lenses
The K30 has not been enjoying the good weather either. I took it too Exbury House and Gardens on Monday where it got rather hot and bothered. Started doing some rather bizarre things before locking up completely. First time its done that with the latest firmware. I don't blame it, i too was struggli...

What's your highest ever daily 'photo tally'?
When we're away on holiday with the family, we all have a little game when we get back to the cottage, "How many shots did you take today?" I don't usually "win" that contest!

What's your highest ever daily 'photo tally'?
I got a little over excited as it was the first airshow I had visited and I had one body set to 'machine gun' mode shooting bursts each time - mainly because I had never tried it before - and will not be again. That is one thing I do like about Canon bodies (think we had a thread about it a while ba...

What's your highest ever daily 'photo tally'?
Does anyone here who uses K5 or K5II get any exposure problems when using the camera on continuous frame shooting. I always seem to get a fair few well overexposed frames when using my K5IIs in this mode. Two, three or four frames will be OK but the next one or two well overexposed. It can be annoyi...

What's your highest ever daily 'photo tally'?
Does anyone here who uses K5 or K5II get any exposure problems when using the camera on continuous frame shooting. Martin I used a mixture of continuous and single frame at Fairford. I've just had a look back through some of the CF sections but I can't see any discernible difference in exposures ...

What's your highest ever daily 'photo tally'?
I take around 500-600 during a 90 minute football match. I try to time the first shot then keep the shutter release depressed for a couple more frames. Generally the first frame in the sequence is the best but you never know with sport. About 5% good enough especially as it is more difficult to g...

I think there are Pentax cameras to be seen Peter - and you are carrying them, flying the flag! There are also more Pentax cameras in the Philippines than most places in the world. They are assembled there! Have a great trip and show us some pictures when you get back?

What To Do With All These Pixels?
As above for me too. I try clearing out duplicates, bracketing shots, obvious rubbish shots but its pretty soul destroying. So I bought a 1Tb drive a few months back, on offer for £39 from Currys. At the moment everything is going on there and 4500 photos has barely scratched it.

What To Do With All These Pixels?
With rare exceptions, I don't think we need worry too greatly about historians' need of our photographs in the future. :) Why not? The problem is, it's that attitude that causes the rarity of photographs in the future simply because for too many people haven't the foresight to see how their mu...

What To Do With All These Pixels?
The problem is, it's that attitude that causes the rarity of photographs in the future Even the most mundane street shot from the IIs, which has really no value today can be of enormous interest in a few decades. Here's an example... A street shot of Dubai from the mid 1970s which I've recently ...
