Lightroom Colour Profiles
Hi all, I thought I'd post a ZIP file containing QPcard-generated Lightroom colour profiles for: *ist-D K10D Samsung GX20 K5 K5ii K5iis K3 MX1 Q I've found that these profiles (for RAW) produce much more realistic grass colours, better reds, and truer lilac/purp...

Datacolor Spyder
just want to know if it will work with windows 10. Had a Spyder 2 some time back which ceased to work when i went to 10, no updates from datacolor for it. want to get back to doing some printing and a couple of these are on ebay at reasonable prices but a waste of money if it doesn't work.

Sunset RAW Problem
Thanks folks, back from the dog walk and just read your thoughts/suggestions. I'll try them tomorrow, too late to do anything intellectually challenging this evening.:wink: Steve

So, I had a tremendous fright time last night. Took a couple of photos before bed, popped camera down on the side-table in the hallway. I'd recently put a strap on the camera. My reasons for disclosing this will become evident soon... Pottered around sorting out stuff for work today, saw the dogs ...

You sound very relieved!!! +1 for wrapping strap round wrist if not round neck. And when camera is left for a while, the strap is looped up with an elastic band or cable tie so it doesn't go all over the place when camera is picked up. Incidentally, just because the strap caught on a drawer ha...

My camera has a home made wrist strap attached, which is what I always hold when using it. While walking around photographing I also wear a neck strap, and I clip the camera to that but only if ever and only while I need both hands free. A potential disaster happened with my almost new K-5 back i...

Horrible experience! I was in a bird hide once and had rested my camera with a big Sigma attached on the little shelf when someone next to me opened the flap and sent them crashing to the floor - timber luckily and just the very faintest of marks. The Peak Design clips are a godsend as I am alway...

Olympus
The editor of Amateur Photographer (an increasingly irrelevant title) has just concluded a long analysis of Olympuss demise saying he hopes they dont go the same way as Pentax which exists in name only and is now better known for glasses than cameras. A view doubtless helped by Pentax products no ...

Olympus
Never used the cameras on my phones - all Android - as, for some reason, it insists I give it access to the microphone and my contacts list and I see no reason why it should need them. Especially the latter. My Android (Samsung) phone camera needs my location, microphone (for video) and storage. I c...

Olympus
I am not sure if the current Olympus are the original manufacturers I have been a Pentax user since the 1970;s. I still use Pentax and nothing else. I have a now a K5 and a K5IIs and a VS20 plus a bunch of Pentax lenses. Never use my phone for picture taking. I am 77 years old and could not ...

Colour Space and Paintings
Thanks for the advice/comments folks. I'll come clean here and admit that my question is a bit of perfectionism on my part, not a real need to produce colour-perfect images. It's something I've wondered about for some time and thought that now is perhaps the time to try to get an answer on the ba...

Photo' magazines.
AP's sniping about Pentax has become particularly bad of late. They have bought into the mirrorless world in a big way. I suspect it's the other way about - the mirrorless manufacturers have bought into the mag. Most only manage to exist on the back of advertising revenue these days.

The main gallery
I must admit I rarely look at the main gallery, and rarely post there. Even when I do, I don't remember to check if anyone has commented. I look at images in the images thread, but not the gallery as I rarely go to the main page. For the same reason, I rarely see the the picture of the week. (It i...

The main gallery
I've had a look womble and it's quite interesting. All the very oldest pages come up as page 40, so you're right there are many more than 40. The earliest also only show thumbnails, some very small thumbnails at that, but they are also marked as by "unknown" and date back to about 2002. After a whil...

I've never sold an image yet so I'm probably safe... I did buy a "print" from you Kris, a tree. Best regards And it remains my one and only sale! Entertainingly, another picture of a tree. One day I'll branch out (boom boom) and photograph something else. My ex once commented when I got my sli...

PS I'm not sure if it still works, but they did have a "import all your photos from Flickr" feature back in 2013 when lots of people were looking to jump ship (including me). I've been with them ever since and am very happy with it.

Hmm, I paid 48 in September, that's $56 at today's rates. I have over 5000 images there so I suppose I'm tied to it. I need to start making use of it as cloud storage to get my full money's worth but need to find the best way to separate what I want to share from what I only want to back up. It'...
