There have been instances of Spam in the forums and in the PM system, but when it becomes a problem IT usually manage to think of something to cut it out. I haven't had any for a while, but if you've received something you think is inapppropriate then please make a Report.

I read that too, but I have successfully sold images upsized with Photoshop 7, so I wouldn't worry too much.

To upsize in CS2 use "Bicubic Smoother" resampling and you'll be fine.

The seller refused to refund me in advance.
So would I, and so would most sellers. It's normal practice to return faulty or incorrect goods so that they can be examined and if the error is confirmed a refund given.

The alternative is to negotiate a revised price acceptable to both parties, which I would consider a satisfactory outcome, not a negative feedback one.

If you're really that fickle, then it's not for you perhaps, but if you can produce consistently the right images that will sell then fotoLibra is worth a go.

Don't blame your tools though! "only" having CS2 is not a bar to producing work of the highest standard. You do not need more software. Learn how to use CS2 properly and you will have no problems.

If you want to succeed, get out there and shoot some digital!

All Pentax lenses should fit but it is conceivable that some independent ones, especially older ones, may not.

I've never come across it as a problem though.

I see, and the photo of the wine is also impressive! Sorry, I obviously could only see the wine...

Why?
Because all the extra info is wasted and cannot possibly be reproduced and because my printer won't accept 16 bit file info anyway.

I am of course assuming that the file has been saved before being printed.

EDIT: I'm forgetting - fotoLibra also expressly do not want 16 bit files.

The wine in particular looks very impressive.

8 bit is the default. Everything you are likely to do with an image will be 8 bit - even if you did work in 16 bit you would have to convert to 8 bit to print.
