De Nachtwacht (The Night Watch) by Rembrandt was cropped in 1715 because it didn't fit between the two columns of the wall

the point you focus on is the point DOF expand from.
It expands to the front and to the back.
If you set the focus distance to infinite and you use F/8
then the DOF expands to the front let's so to 20 meters but DOF also expends to the back but what is there to expand to after infinite so that's all going to waste.
What HF is, is a point that that place the furthers end of the DOF you get against Infinite.
If a subject is near infinite then it's very easy to get it sharp so it's up to you to consider what else you want to have sharp as well.
This photo with a lot of DOF

Was done 12mm f/16
Max you've the K20D it has a preview button.
The button is the same as the on and off button, so the one around the shutter release button.
You can pull that further and it gives you a preview.
If it's set on optical it will close the aperture of the lens so you can see how your DOF is gone be so simply use that to find your focus point and aperture.
If it makes a photo you need to go into the menu and set preview to Optical instead of Digital.

So do you think it was worth every penny?
I've heard good things about Formatt but haven't seen much about them though.

There are bound to be faulty ones,as with all makes, they don't test as much as they used to.
Shall we now count the numbers of transistors?

It's stated that it isn't allowed to make adaptations and I believe burning Tracey's bed is an adaptation.
Are we now going to have an argument if burning something is an adaptation?

It's in the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works
these are the countries that signed it
This the agreement they signed for link
It's article 6bis i was referring to link
Article 6bis

(2) The rights granted to the author in accordance with the preceding paragraph shall, after his death, be maintained, at least until the expiry of the economic rights, and shall be exercisable by the persons or institutions authorized by the legislation of the country where protection is claimed. However, those countries whose legislation, at the moment of their ratification of or accession to this Act, does not provide for the protection after the death of the author of all the rights set out in the preceding paragraph may provide that some of these rights may, after his death, cease to be maintained.

I'm reading into it at the moment.

It's like you can say you own a painting but you can never say you make it.
An artist can always say that an artwork they created is his or hers so there for any act against the art is one against the artist... not a good explanation but i believe it went something like that.
Also if you buy an artwork with a frame then that frame is part of the artwork as well so can't be removed or altered.
I will look the regulations up about that, before I say something stupid which I might already have.

I'm installing the new Neat Image software now, hopefully it works.
I must say that the d300 is really sharp though.

It's more useful then most of the talk in the K20D vs D300 discussion, at least I know a bit more about the law now.
Btw went out yesterday and going to do tomorrow (aircrafts) and have a photograph day planned on a Sunday (race cars) and a Saturday will be filled by my girlfriend so I'm full till a Monday.
