Any company or business are only there to make money for the shareholders (a stark fact), the only place for said company to make this money is from their customers, (a stark fact), which means that a companies advertising budget, is provided by their customers within the price of their product or service.
Therefore I am glad that “Pentax”, probably has a smaller advertising budget than their competition, and hopefully has a better value for money product.
Take care, and remember that all money inwards to a company comes from you the customer.

Many thanks, Gwyn. I have a “Scott Kelby” book on elements 4, I picked up in PC world a few years ago, on clearance sale, which is far easier to understand than the book that came with the programme, which I found of no or little use at all.
Problem is I go through a procedure step by step, from “Scott Kelby” book, then by the next time I go to use it, the old brain is empty. New tricks, old dog, teach, unable to, I think are the words that are relevant.
I am hoping that the local school, will run an evening class on Photoshop, this winter. So I can be taught, the abc and two times table of Photoshop, if that’s possible. I will probably be put to stand in the corner with the pointed hat on.
Take care and thanks again.

Comment by ChrisR posted on Photoshop Elements 4. To Upgrade ?. at 06/09/2011 - 16:12
I use Photoshop Elements 4, which I have had for several years, I still don’t understand many of the editing features, I manly just use, quick fix or auto smart fix.
The problem is elements 4, does not have the option to up load images to web sites, plus the photo raw, is very limited, I think ?.
All of my images are stored in elements 4, in different catalogues with tags.
The questions are, with later versions of Photoshop elements.
Are later versions, easier to use than version 4.
Will all of the catalogues, tags and images be lost when upgrading.
Is there better/easier photo raw conversion, in later versions.
Which of the later versions have the option to up load images to web sites.
All answers/information will be much appreciated, but anyone that has read any of my previous posts will realise that my computer skills/confidence are near to zero.
So could I please ask that any advice is kept very simple, and if you consider that to change/upgrade to a new programme needs a high computer skill level, just advise, not to try and do it myself, but best left to a software expert.
Many thanks.

I have used a battery re your link, (Blumax), not with Pentax though.i used this one and its working fine link, i also had cheap batteries from China (bought from Ebay) but they were of no use.
I also have a charger of the same make. Both Battery and charger were OK.
Can’t remember from which supplier purchased, but it would not have been Ebay.
Take care.

Hey everyone,
really excited to have joined this forum. I recently aquired an LX and SuperA and really want to take them out for a spin but it would nice to have a flash.
Does anyone know if a new flash will support it's ttl fuctionality, or should I stick to an old model? I'm aware manual functionality would be available (depending on the flash) but I've not been able to find an answer to this question on the internet.
thanks!!

Sorry I cant help with your flash, question, but I am sure it will soon be answered on this forum.
My Pentax film camera is a Spotmatic II, vintage 1974, which is open aperture metering but manual for all operations.
Take care.

I use Eneloops and GP. ReCyko, both are very good, but I find that the Recyko, hold there charge longer.Old76 wrote:
Get Sanyo Eneloops - don't bother trying other brands as the Eneloops are well known to work brilliantly with the K-m, K-x and K-r. I tried many other brands as we already had lots of ni-mh batteries lying around, but none were any good, even those of 2500mah or higher. The eneloops are the D's B's and last for ages.Algernon wrote:
Good luck with the Ansmann batteries. Ansmann 2200's were the worst batteries I ever bought Wouldn't even work in a Pentax *istDS and useless at holding a charge for very long.
You can't beat Eneloops.
Most chargers won't overcharge AA's so I'd give them 12/24 hours.
It would be worth you buying a Technoline BL-700 Intelligent
AA-AAA battery charger £30 delivered. It will discharge and test
the batteries individually. From Amazon link
The Charger sounds like it might be a good buy. Sorry your Ansmanns let you down, I've never used them before, so I'm hoping I don't share your experience.

Also the Recyko are cheaper to purchase.
I would however recommend them both.
