How big is the egg shell? Just wondering why you're using the bellows with the macro lens, I would have thought the lens on its own would have got you plenty close enough.

You might find that the lens on the bellows needs to be focused at infinity or at least not close-up, and this then doesn't work so well when it's on the bellows, if you see what I mean.

But definitely avoid f/22 if you can.

I had a play with one up at London Camera Exchange back in January, it was okay, not stellar performance, but if it's something you're after I'd say it's fairly priced.

Now where is my shot of a sunset, with Swan, with a flower in its beak, and a Thick-Thighed Beetle on the flower...

Have you managed to cure it for just Anvh's competition or all future comps. :
Well, I only reported it, but the IT team say that the bug's been found and fixed, so all being well it's fixed for future comps too.

I've just had a quick flick through previous bug reports, and can't see that this one's been reported before, even though we were obviously aware of it. Perhaps we should all remember that if there's something odd happening, fire off a bug report and it will be dealt with as soon as the team are able.

I don't know whether this works with PSE but fron PS CS3, click: View> actual Pixels, this will give you 100% (pixel level)
Yes that does work John, and if you prefer using the keyboard rather than the mouse, just hit Ctrl+alt+0 (zero). Ctrl+plus zooms in, Ctrl+minus zooms out too, as Gareth said, and Ctrl+0 fits to screen.

Many ways to skin a cat, and all that.

Do you mean with the 'rnrn' instead of new paragraphs? Just tried to edit it for you to see if it made a difference but it came out the same. Will report it as a bug.

PSE4 doesn't show the pixel selection size! (as you change size look for the pixel dimensions changing somewhere, they do in the more featured programs)
If you click 'Window' on the main toolbar, then select 'Info', you'll bring the info palette up, which shows all sorts of information about pixel colour, as well as selection size. I have mine docked in the 'palette bin' beneath the layers palette.

P.S. After selecting with the crop tool, you can just hit 'enter' to crop it, or 'escape' to cancel.

I can see the advantage to this, from a visual point of view.

However, I was using a Nikon at odd times today, and have to say the whine the VR makes when it's active drives me up the wall. Am I the only one that can hear it?
