Hi Jim,

shoot RAW. The two most crucial adjustments that you will get a lot more leeway on are white balance and exposure. Even if you only use those two (if necessary of course) before converting to jpeg, you'll save plenty of shots that you may have thrown away. All the apps listed will give you a simple slider that you can drag left or right whilst watching the effect in real time.

The biggest advantage is that you'll have a digital negative, so as you get better at using whichever app you choose, you can go back and have another go. As new apps become available with more tools etc, you can again go back.

Take RAW, and however stuck you get with processing, there's plenty of people here that'll talk you through it.

The above is what I use, although there won't be support for any of the K series DSLRs (ASAIK).

Cheers

Liam

No, but in that 'episode' he does due to a series of unforeseen events and strange goings on.

And now, from Wikipedia:

"László Bíró, a Hungarian newspaper editor, was frustrated by the amount of time that he wasted in filling up fountain pens and cleaning up smudged pages, and the sharp tip of his fountain pen often tore his pages of newsprint. Bíró had noticed that the type of ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge free. He decided to create a pen using the same type of ink. Since, when tried, this viscous ink would not flow into a regular fountain pen nib, Bíró, with the help of his brother George, a chemist, began to work on designing new types of pens. Bíró fitted this pen with a tiny ball in its tip that was free to turn in a socket. As the pen moved along the paper, the ball rotated, picking up ink from the ink cartridge and leaving it on the paper. Bíró filed a British patent on 15 June 1938."
