Does ACDsee allow tagging of images and creation of collections and if it does is the search function quick? I an a big fan of ACDSee Pro and am now using ultimate 9. There is no importing or exporting and it simply picks up your file and returns edited version to the normal windows file tree. ...

Lightroom and Photoshop Alternatives
Hi, As I said i got the stand alone Photostack free with my £19.99 PhotoPlus X8 upgrade download offer a month or so back. http://www.serif.com/en/photostack/features/ Photoplus itself does not have such a feature. Hope this is of help. I find Photoplus has pretty well all the want. The online Serif...

Lightroom and Photoshop Alternatives
I too have a paid for version of Serif PhotoPlus. I also have PSE. The Serif software is a clone of PSE but I do find it less stable than PSE so gave up using it (it kept crashing.) I tried Lightroom but didn't like the way it wants to load up every image it finds before you can work on the one you...

Scanning Negatives
To digitize 35mm slides I bought an inexpensive LED light tablet (about £30.00 for an A4 size on Amazon), cut out a 35mm size hole in black paper to place over it, and used a right-angled card mount as a 'template' to place the slides over the hole. I then put a camera with a macro lens on a tripod ...

When you go out with your camera...
It's a matter of focus. If I think there's little chance of photography I always have the MX-1 in my pocket. Then I can take pictures should a situation arise, or should we stumble upon something interesting. If there's a good chance but large cameras would be frowned upon, such as a concert, ...

Im 50 years old, i live about 6 or 7 miles from Beamish, and i've never been! My son (22) went with his girlfriend not long back, and came back with loads of retro sweets....he really enjoyed it. Gonna look it up now, and definately go.

Have none of you ever offered your wife the use of a camera? Maybe she would enjoy it if she got the chance to try it. DH has a K-m and whist most of his photos are odd to say the least, and usually out of focus with seriously sloping horizons, he has fun with it, and occasionally produces a real...

When the Good Mrs Micro and I go out for a walk anywhere that has potential, then the K-3II plus 20-40 goes with me in its ever-ready case. The case is very compact (fits camera and lens perfectly) and has a small pocket in the front that just holds the AF201 flash and a spare battery. The GLW (g...

Hi A group of us went on a pentax meet organised by Bforbes to beamish and had a really good day out ... Neil Go while you can. Although Beamish is probably safe, each issue of the Museums Journal carries fresh depressing news of small museums closing and bigger ones cutting back on opening hours,...

Lightroom - is it just me?
Was thinking about this as I waited at the bus stop this morning. Focus on the software, the packaging can be stored away and forgotten about. Things I'd say to myself if I could go back to when I just started lightroom... Don't worry too much about the presents. I remember googling 'free...

Bag advice
Does anyone have any recommendations for a bag suitable for say just a K-x and a 18-135mm lens as well as space for a 8" tablet plus space for a few small items. I want something that is designed so that getting items out and back is easy. I have been looking at small backpack-type bags but my conc...

Lens back from repair! But ...
Taken Pentax just over a month to repair my lens and send it back as it had to go to France to be repaired. It had a few dings in the plastic at the optic end, a scratch/chip to the front optic and the AF seemed slightly out. After paying out just over £200 it's back here ..... but only for a day as...

Lens back from repair! But ...
Mine came back a much better lens after a trip to JPSS - that squeaking does sound bad... A month away does hurt, I felt it when mine was away and I had comtemplated getting a 17-70 to cover it but the copy I was about to buy didn't focus:evil::evil::evil: Let's hope your lens comes back quick...

Lens back from repair! But ...
Luckily I bought a 18-135mm as a stop gap as otherwise I'd be screwed. I wouldn't of minded a month away but just looking and they had it for 5 weeks and now another 4 weeks minimum on top. You have to wonder about the quality control and the final inspection / test before it gets wrapped up and...

That really is a sad tale, Gareth. We expect (and deserve) much better service from Pentax than that ! Meanwhile, enjoy your 18-135, it really IS a lovely lens. It had bad reviews when it was first released but that seems long passed. I got mine around 15 months ago as the 'kit lens' with my ...

It's a shame that JPS couldn't repair it, this was returned from Pentax France :shock: as JPS cannot repair the DA* 16-50mm Who told you that? Mine went to JPS twice last year under warranty. A circuit board failure according to repair note, not the motor. Maybe you are right, "JPS cannot repair th...

Photography show - Birmingham
There are some good special discounts to be had, from tripods to printers. Including, interestingly, the Nikon D810 with cash back for £1599.00! Coincidence or what? I went primarily for a close look at the K-1 and also an open-minded look at the alternatives; you really must handle and try cameras ...
