Hugin looks to be one of the best but appears quite complex to get the best out of it. The Elements one just seems to do it, balancing colour, exposure etc. and even fill in some of the gaps quite well sometimes. Mind, it can have it moments with some image combinations and do weird things!

I appreciate they will be large files. However as far as this site is concerned, just reduce the image to 1000 pixels on its longest side (and if you don't, the site will) and then upload it. It will then no longer be a very large file but fine for web viewing. Flikr resizes files too.JAK wrote:

The reason I'm curious is that I tried ICE but found the alignments and matching poor. Photoshop Elements seems to do a much better job, for me at least. I was wondering if it was me or ICE that was the problem!
That carriage photo was processed in Elements and its really hard, nigh on impossible, to see the join.

Guys, thank you for your suggestion. Do these editors provide CMYK editor?
What is it you're actually wanting to do? Process raw files, jpegs or both, and from which camera? I'll also ask again what system is it for as not all packages are available for all systems so it would be no good recommending, say, Aperture, if you're using a PC (I wasn't being facetious!) Also, what are you using now? Do you have Pentax Digital Camera Utility and what do you think of it?Guys, thank you for your suggestion. Do these editors provide CMYK editor?
Strangely you'll need a decent editor to do CYMK so Elements wouldn't suffice. But why do you need it? Elements will do a pretty good job of photo editing.
Does this help?

Why are we seeing automated hyperlinks for Amazon but not SRS and other authorised Pentax dealers? Not even Pentax gets one of those!

Hello everyone,
I've just joined as my dad (AndyUK) is already a member and he suggested I sing up.
I've also wore out his K50 which he has replaced with the help of someone here so hope to get some new shoots uploaded soon - just waiting on the opportunity to get out.
Favourite type of shoots are landscape and holidays
Thanks

IMHO, #1 could do with a boost in the shadow region when displayed against the bright white of the site's page background as the trees on the opposite bank have lost all detail. Alternatively a dark border it may help balance it better. If it had been a print from a negative that region would have required some dodging.

The K-r camera manual says it requires pressing the INFO button rather than the AE-L, otherwise much the same.
Have you not got a manual? If not it can be downloaded from Ricoh's Pentax pages. Direct link here. I've saved a full set, one never knows when some obscure detail might be required!

If you play the video with VLC it has the facility to take a frame grab.
It's really simple: Menu option 'Video' > 'Take Snapshot'.
It can also be done in camera, e.g. with a K-3, play the movie, pause, and press AE-L (check the manual.)
