For once the Pentax U.K. website comes up trumps!

Well, there's the banner ad which links to the Pentax U.K. website, on which I can find no mention of cashbacks.

Once again Pentax U.K. are on the ball with their website. Has anyone told them about the ring flash? The DA* 55mm? Oo, have a look in the 'Press Lounge' for the recent press releases... Er, results of a fishing competition in September, anyone?

Just buy a vertical grip and always keep it in place. Joking aside, have you tried the K10D with a grip? You may be like me, and find that it's much more comfortable. Just a thought.

Hi Chris,

Just tried it - works a treat.

Cheers for that, I've managed perfectly well without knowing about it, but I'm sure it will come in handy in the future.

Dan

Gone too far the other way, IMHO! I would choose to use the reflections of the reeds, or perhaps one of the verticals on the building on the left.

Sorry, I don't follow you! You can link the layers, but using the mask on the adjustment layer has no effect on the linked layer. At least not on the version I'm using anyway (PSE4).

Dan

You can do this with Elements, as long as you use an adjustment layer, rather than applying Levels (or whatever) from the menu.

If you mean you can paint on a mask to a layer so that you can't see certain pixels, then you can't do that with Elements (unless you add something as Matt suggests). You would simply have to delete the out of focus pixels in the seperate layers, but then obviously that's destructive.

I think the first give-away was that the when the wing breaks off you hear the 'crack' at the same time, at that distance it would take a second or to reach the camera. Definitely doesn't look right after it's landed either.

How many mount colours are you going to offer? The reason I ask is that the page has only got so much room for mounts to drag about, so you're going to be limited as to how many you can choose from at once. Also, how will you identify the different colours? So if a customer likes a pale green one for instance, you need some way of ensuring that they can inform you of the correct mount. (Hope that makes sense).

I wonder if a better way would be to have three layers in a fixed position, the bottom layer showing the frame (with perhaps choices of light wood, dark wood, black, silver and gold), the layer above that would be the mount (with as many different choices as you want), and then the picture goes on top of that. Bear with me, I will explain further...

I realise that you're not offering frames too, but the colour of the frame has a big bearing on how the mount/print combo looks.

You could then have drop down boxes for wall colour (forgot that above, but you get my drift), frame colour and mount colour (with the names of the mount colour, so people would know what they'd picked). The picture could be picked from a display of thumbnails perhaps.

It would still need javascript, but it's a simple script, and would use CSS and the visibility property. I used it here to control the content of the right hand box, as this is just one page, with the links on the left hand side just controlling visibility of the sections.

Actually, thinking about it, the drop down boxes could just change the 'background-color' property of the different sections. That would be easier still. Wouldn't look as flash as your version, but it might just be easier for the customer?

Hope that makes sense, if not, I may get the chance to do an example over the weekend.
