Hi Stefan, looks like you had a good xmas day, me right now listening to a Cash Cd " Cash Unchained " I got as a presi and it's just a fab switch off and with a wee small dram a perfect end to the day.
Best wishes to all for the year ahead.

Thanks Guys for further comments. Have been over in London last week so just now picking up on any posts.
Regards
Eddie

Ps: if anyone has any further thoughts, these most welcome, in meantime might do a question to Adobe and see if they say anything.

Colin, just a further thought, when I said above xmp files were generagted some time back, it would have been on another PC with XP operating sys.
I'm now operating with Vista, just wonder if anything to do with different op sys.

Thanks Colin for the screen capture above. I do not see this in my version of PSE6. Have checked and default settings appear ok.
I notice "powered by XMP " on the sceen shot. Is this an extra file generated that has the tabs and data as shown above. If I remember correctly, a much earlier version of elements made XMP files and I think that may have only happened when I had the Fuji s9600 and not sure if only when image shot in raw. Could it be I need a plugin or some other setting. If you have any other thoughts, they would be much appreciated.

Thanks Colin for your reply. I've looked at an image that I know was shot with the Penatx 16-45mm yet I cannot see the lens name in the metadata displayed. Any idea's on why you can see lens name and I cannot see same. As I say I'm using elements 6 so should be same as yours. Have looked at preferences and don't see anything that might explain.

I'm using Elements 6 and when I display the properties of an image, the lens name is not displayed ie Penatx 16-45 etc. The camera name is displayed ie K10d, k20d, etc. The Pentax Photo Browser (Silkypix 3) supplied with camera does show the lens type if a Pentax lens was used . Anyone know if the properties display in Elements can be set to show Lens used.

Happy Birthday J, I too got the Sigma 17-70 for my Birthday, only difference I was celebrating my 70th, so hope these tired ol'eyes keep going for a while longer. Looking at the threads here, I must be one of the oldest on the forum.

No problem Prem, glad to be able to help,

Anvh, the K10D is a great camera, had one before I upgraded to the K20d,

Anvh just beat me to reply. On the k20d in Rec mode, press the FN & Ok to go to custom Image and there you can change the defaults for the various items ie Landscape, Portrait Etc. See page 154 in the K20d Manual
