Coker - see what other books are out there. The Missing Manual books are great, but very dry.
Scott Kelby and Matt Koslowski have a great easy access "this is how you do it" project based guide. I don't think their one for 9 is out yet though.
There are a few other books already for PSE 9 which may work in a similar way.
I know I recommended the Missing Manual but it is hard going if you've not used PSE before.

A long day waiting for mine to arrive. Poor dogs had their legs crossed all afternoon.
But it's here
Just after 5pm.

I still support Williams. I follow a team rather than drivers.

Alphonso did say way back in June that he would win the championship. Interesting to see if he does.

It was a shame for Vettel. And tbh I'd quite like Webber to be champion this year.

PSE 9 is PC/Mac compatible - no need to buy a different version of it. Mac users also get Organiser with it.
I think more and more software will be produced/sold this way.

Funny how many threads come back to booze

How very old fashioned and sexist.

I loved playing with Scalextric with friends. We never had it, couldn't afford it, but plenty of friends brothers did.

Buy it for her. If boys are encouraged to play with dolls then girls should be encouraged to play with cars.

Alternatively you could always have a son .

Not yet Alun no. This discussion has ended up software based, which I didn't want. I am now Googling for ideas.

I am thinking of doing a folder per year. Within that per camera, then per date_keyword with further subfolders for RAW and processed files within the date_keyword folder.

But I am still not sure if that will work for me. I'll give it a go next week, when my husband is away on business and I don't have to be sociable .

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled PSE6? If so and it still doesn't work it seems unlikely an updated version would work. You can get PSE7 and 8 for very little now that PSE9 is out.

Adobe customer service has always been bad, but what did you really expect them to say to you?

Getting used to a different system will take time. I have no idea how they compare to PSE though. Do they offer everything PSE does - organiser, RAW converter, etc etc? If so and you are happy paying for a new program and taking the time to learn it then give it a try.

But you may end up with the same problem as you have with PSE if it is your computer at fault.

Linking to photos from other websites is allowed yes. Actually putting the photos on the forum, especially under my photos is not.
Since the photos in the link are copyrighted I do not have the right to show them here anyway.

If the photos are worth a look why should we be limited to linking to only Pentax photos? We'd not have many to link to .

That's a shame. Ah well, time to treat yourself to a nice new camera .
