No, it can't be done.

I notice the Photomatix route has struck a few of us and I think this image needs it to perk it up. I would have used an ultra-wide lens to make the car much more dominant. So I've used Transform>Distort instead to make it more surreal and then through Photomatix done tone mapping, choosing the Painterly preset.

This was done from the 800px wide image - I'm not convinced we need the full sized files to show what we need to on the web.

I'm not sure you'd see any quality difference at screen resolution, but you might pick up any changes to saturation and the reflections from the petals and leaves.

Pentax cameras have outstanding colour reproduction, so they are ideal as wedding cameras. I hope you find they suit you as well as they suit us.

I use the K20D with 16-45mm for weddings, so yes, it can be used! Sue uses the K20D with her 18-250mm for weddings.

It will be fine.

The K20D is a terrific camera. We are still using two of them and although we will be upgrading to the K-5 in April it's not because we don't like the K20D.

I suspect that there aren't many good K20D bodies around as people will tend to keep them, so keep your eyes open!

I'll probably have a K10D and a K20D for sale mid April. We'll keep one K20D as backup.

I think we're in the realms of diabologic today. No cat has eight tails. A cat has one more tail than no cat. Therefore a cat has nine tails.

If you see what I mean...

Something must be afoot. It's a major cancellation at very short notice.

It would be easier to use a JPEG file, which will instantly make it more accessible to more people. Not everyone will have a RAW converter, especially if a very new DSLR is used.

Give it a go and see what happens?
