Sounds like your on the wrong site Stan..... I've been using it
for years without any problems and it's never carried a toolbar?

DL XnView Standard EXE Setup from.......
http://www.xnview.com/en/xnview/

Hardly worth bothering with the addons in the bigger
version.

I've just DL'd v2.05 and it's written over v2.0 without
any problems.

If you still have problems with the EXE download the ZIP

CS5 Stan - Content Aware Brush

That and the clone tool are pretty much all I do in photoshop. Took me over 30 mins to work out how to composite those 2 blue tit pics.
Xnview is great for combining images. Just use
Strip of Images in the file menu.

Also sold as Heiland Pentax Spotmatic in the US.

Pentacon in the GDR also sold at least one product with the
Pentax name ...... An 8mm Cine Editor..... Ebay-Link

Note stamped Made in Germany not GDR.

I may be wrong and someone correct me if I am. BUT. Wasn't Pentax always a label for ASAHI SLRs along with the lenses Takumar.....................
The label was actually Asahi Pentax and it was marked on
just about everything that they made. Pentax as a label came much
later in the K mount era. I always referred to it as Asahi Pentax
and was sorry to see the Asahi part dropped.

See the label on this Spotmatic.....

And the name on this focusing rack which I'll
shortly be putting in Classifieds.

The 100% crop is impressive..... especially when you think
how big the full shot would be.

Looks like a TC won't be needed

Very little between the last two. The white feathers might look
better on the K-3, but white feathers aren't a very good indicator
because they rely on shadows to pick them out.

I think I can hold onto my K-5 for another year or so.

It might be worth cropping to about half K-5 size (2500x1667)
and then reducing both to about 1000w.... possibly flipping one
to make the bird face the same way and then comparing.

On 2nd thoughts that wouldn't work They would be
different sized birds. So crops keeping the bird the same
size in the screen print would be needed.
