There are two ways to set the clone tool (not sure if this is available in Elements), either to clone from a moving area or to clone from a fixed point.

Cloning from a moving pick up area has better results as it gives a smoother finish, but you do need to keep redefining the pick up point.

Well I've just gone for the Amazon offer on CS5, which gave a discount of around 50%. So I can tell you that the licence for that allows for one copy at work and one at home, provided they are not both used at the same time.

OK guys, don't make that an argument as well. He is right though, it was closed until you brought it up again. :

I've just had another thought - it might be worth checking that Canon and Nikon cameras will actually autofocus with those lenses. Just like the Pentax KAF3 mount being in-lens motor only, there might be issues, especially with somne Nikon bodies.

I'm not sure purchase day is here yet nass. Isn't it 1st October? If so, apart from general intent, I doubt that Ricoh will have much more to say.

Now when the day comes and they own Pentax, well that should indeed be an interesting time.

It's unfortunate if we end up with a scenario though that the guy in the shop can't be trusted because he wants to sell you something and the guy who's bought something can't be trusted because he's a fanboy (terrible word, you should see how it's bandied about in a derogatory way) - who do you trust?

I think you made your choice Chris in a rational way, so your opinion will be good advice. I'm sure your friend will see whatever you say as genuine advice.

Actually might not be the case as Canon changed their lens mount, it depends on how long is a long time.

No, this is the right place. Note the full stop. General Digital Photography chat is for scanning, Photoshop, printers, etc.

Which is why I moved it here!

Seriously though, she won't get the compatibility that she'll get with Pentax and at the moment the K-5 price is looking hard to beat. Why point her towards something not as well made, pound for pound (or dollar for dollar depending where you are).

Not really a topic for Pentax User Chris, much better put to a Canon or Nikon forum, who would know much more about it. They could start with the appropriate sections at EPZ, who in particular I think have a dedicated Nikon section.

They might as well go for a K-r plus two lenses, they will get much better value.

I suppose we take a lot for granted as photographers who have a fair amount of freedom. It makes the point that when we travel abroad on our own resources (as opposed to being guided as a tourist) we should be very careful.
