This is a duplicated subject, so please refer to the other thread.

Use one program for your editing, not two, if you possibly can. Photoshop is the industry standard, so if you haver it it makes sense to use it.

The colour space should be the same all the way through the process. I set camera and Photoshop to sRGB on the basis that all the end uses can only reproduce about that sort of colour space. Web use has to be sRGB and even now most printers cannot reproduce the entire gamut of AdobeRGB.

If you want to use AdobeRGB then set camera and Photoshop to that, but be aware that your prints may look lighter and may lose impact. The extra gamut will be laregely wasted.

I have no idea what that particular tester did to make those comparisions. It says SR on, which it shouldn't have been if the camera was on a tripod. If it wasn't on a tripod then the test is meaningless.

The 60-250mm is an expensive high class lens and will be sharp.

However, bear in mind that very often at first people think long lenses are not sharp because of handling issues. Camera shake is an enemy as is aerial haze. Very long lenses are not easy to use well.

Can do, but that overlooks that a lot of people use them very successfully to keep in touch with friends and relatives that they would otherwise hardly ever have contact with. Thus groups can stay in touch where previously they would all have disappeared off the radar.

Like all things, it can have a downside but when used carefully it can be of great benefit.

Arguably calling people morons isn't excatly a position from higher ground!

You could do a clip test, just removing a short length of film and test developing that first. Then you can extend development for the main part if necessary. Plus 20% seems reasonable, but the clip test is best to make sure.

The *istDS uses AA batteries, so NimH rechargeables seem to do a good job. I used to have three sets that were carefully rotated. Batteries do need to be charged the night before for best results as they lose their charge quite quickly.

There is a K mount adapter for the Samsung.

Need a brighter DSLR? Fancy a trip to Japan to get one?

You've set him off to a brilliant start and now the rest will follow naturally from him, with encouragement and guidance I know.

He'll be fine - some 10 year olds are quite capable of looking after things. He may make mistakes, but that's all part of the learning curve.

It would have been very nice if I'd got an SLR at that age!

I think we should call things the correct technical terms, because otherwise it dilutes the message and it becomes vague and unreliable. This is after all why we have technical terms, because they are defined and understood.
