I've never replaced the cork on a wine bottle!
Comment by Algernon posted on Another pointless thread at 17/06/2013 - 11:58
I wonder why the BBC have published this article link about "snobbery over corks" (4th most popular read today) when it is completely wrong? It looks like it could have been written as an advertisement for a plastic cork manufacturer, but the BBC aren't supposed to publish advertising
It's well known that Real Corks are better for the environment and animals. This article link even mentions that "Clever propaganda by the manufacturers of screw tops and plastic corks has led many people to think that cork stoppers are bad for the environment when exactly the opposite is true."
There's not even anywhere to comment on the BBC article?
Have the BBC been taken in? It's hard to believe that they don't
know better
Also Guardian article about the environment link

Algi, you mentioned the K5 raw profile on the site. I was the person who built that profile, as it happens, after a long discussion on how to with Doug Pardee so hope it works for you. As far as I can tell that, and all the other custom profiles produced over the last year or so, have been incorporated into this v4.0 build. At least, You don't seem to have to use the profile as a custom style any more which is what you had to do with v3.9.

It does look like all the profiles have been incorporated. TheyAlgi, you mentioned the K5 raw profile on the site.

do mention on the site that none of the profiles are recent,
the latest being 5 months old and that because they hadn't
got a working Lightzone 4 for testing until today they haven't been
able to update any.

v4 for Linux is still under development..... It will be
released very shortly.
From the Forum...
"We are really close to a release to the membership for Linux and Windows. We've got this one bug, a relic from the old LZ, that is nagging us. It's not a whopper at all, but we'd love to get rid of it once and for all---and several Dev Team members are actively working on it.
I had hoped we'd be released by mid May, so it's really any day now."
Someones running the Windows version in a vcirtualbox.....
"Reporting running great under windows xp, in a virtualbox session under Opensuse 12.3... just waiting for linux version."
released very shortly.

I can't see anything on the Lightzone site about problems with
Win8 and they have spent a lot of time beta testing. No doubt
someone will have the same problem and ask for a fix.
One thing I did notice is that it's a 32 bit program, but it
should run OK on 64 bit.
It was originally written when files were smaller so if it
runs slow, it might be better to crop or reduce your filesize.
The Youtube videos are good, I've watched 3 so far. These were
all produced when you had to pay for the program. The relight
tool looks very powerful.

What used to be an excellent commercial editor is now available
as a FREE download from....
http://lightzoneproject.org/
28MB download runs on Java
Quite a complex program loads K-5 DNG files OK.
There is a RAW profile on the site for the K-5 for use with
v3.9.... I'm not sure if it works or is needed for v4.0
Tutorials and links to videos are on the site.
About 10 videos on Youtube..... this one is about
one of the most important tools.... Zonemapper

Quite powerful for B&W

It seems an awful lot of work tooling up to produce different names on cameras, boxes manuals etc. just to confuse the consumer
Are the Canon FF cameras called the "Canon Biggie" in Australia
