The new Pentax neck straps are a must have item as far as I'm concerned though.................
What is special about the new neck straps :

It is good to hear that everyone had a good day.

I wish Chris could be persuaded to keep heading south

At work we changed our 'state of the art' 22" IIyama's (CRT) for Dell 24" Ultrasharp widescreens which were a vast improvement.

But I think my relatively inexpensive LG flatscreen at home is sharper still.

I find this quite helpful in determining how good the "resolution" of whites and blacks is.

Ideally you would see the ones in the black and the white area (here at work I can see the white 1 and black 3 (but it's depending on ambient light, of course)).
Very useful.

At work, on a monitor set up for CAD, I could not work out what you were talking about

At home I can see White 1 and Black 3.

I only use SanDisk (not quite sure why) and tend to buy small items like this from 7 Day Shop.

Items under £18 from 7 Day Shop are VAT free, which makes the p. and p. cost less painful

I have tried revealing colour on mono in many ways, history brush, hand tinting etc; some more complicated than others, however a few days ago my friend who also has a K10D (but is very shy to come on this forum yet!) posted me this very easy method, so here to share with you all is the link, have fun!
cheers Lilly

...............So come on then Lilly, I'm not the only one who wants to know how you did it!

Steve
I think, but I am not sure, that it has everything to do with splitting the photograph down into layers, so you end up with a b & w layer and a coloured layer but I am sure that Lilly will explain more.

Congratulations to Spirit of Will and many thanks to Mike for such a speedy appraisal.

p.s. I would also like to see a larger version of Spirit of Will's entry.
