I hope it helps, it did help a bit for me but they have address some of the slowness that comes with a lot of photos with version 3.

Wanted to say you can unsucribe with a link they provide at the bottom of the e-mail but that's not what you meant.

I don't see anywhere that you need to agree they send your e-mail address over the globe, where did you read that?
There is something about them providing your information to third party but they ask you if you want that, if you don't say yes they aren't allowed to do that.

Have done the honours for you Pete, hope you don't mind




Lovely photo and great eyes she have, stunning.
Bokeh is very smooth, have seen other good photos with that lens.

When you activate an adjustment, it's applied to how the layer looks then. With layer adjustments (at least you've those in photoshop don't know about elements) it use the settings of all that is below it.

So if you have above a curve layer a level layer you see the adjustments you make in the curve layer in the level one but not vice versa.

I hope that it makes sense.

An yes from me, it's clearly a candle now and the photo is warmer, more inviting.

You can optimize your catalogue, try this:

1. Back up your Catalog.
2. Choose Catalog Settings from the Lightroom menu on a Mac or the Edit menu on a PC.
3. Under the General tab, click the Relaunch and Optimize button.
4. Click the Relaunch and Optimize button to start the process.
Lightroom will quit and restart automatically, and you should see a progress bar letting you know that your catalog is being optimized. If you have a large catalog, the process could take a while, so sit back and relax.
5. Once the process is complete, you’ll see a dialog box telling you that Lightroom has finished optimizing your catalog. Click OK to open Lightroom and enjoy your (hopefully speedier) Catalog.

Edit: This also helps.

maybe, there is an option memory in the first or second menu, it's about what the camera's remember when turning it off, it could be one of the options.

I don't have a K20D so can't look for you.

Yes I meant it that way but wasn't sure.

The free dictionary gave this as definition:
To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.


And wiki gave this:
A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side, often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences.

So it does not have to be a contrast after all, right?

I'm not English so the term has no real meaning for me whatsoever, but glad a real English men is struggling as well

Just to be clear juxtapositions = contrast right?

Deviantart has the best deal I believe.
It's free and only has an upload limit of 20mb per file.

I don't really like the community there though, if you think Flickr is bad with people trying to be popular... Da is even worse with all the teenagers

Not the site to go pro though, imho.

Might be that the AF need some cleaning it use optics after al, I'm sure some one here can enlighten us more... my camera is also getting old
