K20D sensor problem
Looks like I am done then. I better go and practice cloning in photoshop. Since the defect is always in the same place you may be able to set up a batch routine to do it, certainly for the blob and maybe for the line as well. With the image at 100% use the rectangular marquee tool to surround the...

suggestion to buy some old lens...thx
I'm not quite sure what you mean - are you talking about picking a lens in good condition from a shop's used stock? Take a small LED torch and your camera with you. First inspect the lens. Is it clean? Are there dents in the filter ring or lens barrel? Minor paint rubbing and "shine" on plasti...

Long exposure / light photography (painting)
Hi Stephanie Depends what you mean by your attempts not working. I'm assuming that you mean that you weren't able to get a long enough exposure for the effect to work in which case you have two choices. (This obviously applies to your K-x - you won't be able to achieve this with an i-pad or ph...

Clarity
JPEG or RAW - Open image - Create duplicate layer (so you can mess around) then - FILTER -> BLUR - then try GAUSSIAN, SMART BLUR or I even prefer SURFACE BLUR as it hold the edges a little better ? :D

I have put my polariser filter onto my uv filter. Now, try as I might, I can't get the polariser filter off again. Help!

How to remove my polarisung filter?
Firstly its a bad idea to do that. Using a UV filter is pointless on digital (prepares for a torrent of different opinion!) and you have put 4 reflective surfaces, of perhaps dubios quality, in front of a rather good lens. Anyway to your problem, rubber kitchen gloves might just do the trick or y...

How to remove my polarisung filter?
Turn both filters onto their edge, then drip some WD40 between to loosen the threads. Once they've been separated, wash in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly.

How to remove my polarisung filter?
When you do (if you do) get it off rub some graphite into the threads (2B or softer pencil is a convenient source) Its an excellent lubricant without leaching like oils do Bernard

How to remove my polarisung filter?
Once again I am obliged to you guys. gartmore. I have uv filters on both of my lenses. That bit of advice has been, up until now, unanimous. The main use, I'm assured is to protect your original lenses and the polariser is an important accessory. Have I wasted my money?:oops: Ps. All three of my...

How to remove my polarisung filter?
Weren't Hoya Corporation taken over by Pentax a few years ago?? Other way round - Hoya bought Pentax. As of 1st October Ricoh are the new owners of Pentax but have been considerate enough to call the camera division Pentax Ricoh.

Colour Fringing
Having made a copy layer, applied High Pass Filter & overlaid onto the original, there's a lot of fringing. [IMG]http://i1021.photobucket Could anyone advise how to eliminate / reduce this effect? Thanks, Roger

Colour Fringing
Looks like the Blend Mode used after applying the High Pass Filter was too 'strong'. Suggest either oir both of the following: a) Select Overlay or Soft Light as the Blend Mode. b) Reduce the Blend Mode Opacity amount to about 50%

I bought the filter as part of a bundle of used items so have no idea how it got in there or what it is. The filter is however apparantly only a month old and the seller is happy to have i...

Misty / Moist Hoya Circular Polarizing Filter
Andrew Do you have access to a Rayburn or Aga range cooker or similar? If so you could leave it in the warming oven section - this should dry it out pretty quickly without damaging it. If not, we have one so you could bring it with you when we meet? Regards David
