In the stroke dialog box you can select width and colour of the stroked line. Set to "inside" to avoid creating the line partly outside the image area.

Finally, Ctrl+D or Select>Deselect.

Then Save As.

There is no M series 50mm f1.2 - straight from K series to A series.

Professional drum scanners that stick the transparency flat with oil are the best, but I couldn't even guess the cost. I suspect not even magazines do this routinelyt any more, apart maybe for the very highest quality glossies.

Btw. and off topic, anyone ever heard about AI News Service or the IFPO? Anyone can shed some light on to them? Scam or not etc? I think I Google a bit more and start a new threat tomorrow about it. If true, good news, if a scam, very intelligent put together especially nowadays where everyone is looking for this extra income.

Sensible care is needed on the Internet and nobody is queueing up to pay you money as a photojournalist....be careful out there.

eBay is the place to look to see the actual prices, although very few people are selling K10D and K20D cameras, which is probably worth noting.

They are very good cameras.

Unfortunately photographers have never taken to measuring lenses in terms of FOV, usually expressed in degrees. It has been mooted over the years but never caught on.

The trouble is that none of these can convey the real qualities of Kodachrome as the structure of the film makes it rather unsuitable for scanning. For this reason the Nikon scanners actually have a Kodachrome saetting, plus a Colour Transparency setting for Ektachrome-style films.

Professional scanning for magazine reproduction and projection are the strengths of Kodachrome. With a Leica or Kodak slide projector we could appreciate the quality of your slides.

I would take the batteries out

Make sure you allow enough time for the capacitor to discharge as well, or you might get a mighty kick anyway!

In P mode you just shoot, but you can alter various menu items to suit personal preferences.

In green mode the same applies except that the camera now decides what sort of picture you might be taking and the menu options are vastly reduced.

In these modes all you need to do is focus and compose.

There is a valuable difference between 16mm and 18mm on digital. It's the same as a difference between 24mm and 28 mm on film, and that is indeed very significant.
