It was always the way that only one post per person was the accepted norm and that after it was posted then it wouldn't be changed. If this wasn't the case it would have been possible to constantly revise an entry in the light of other entries, which would have not been in the spirit of things.

In the Record menu you can set the number of recorded pixels and the JPEG quality level (how much the file is compressed by the camera). I would suggest you set the highest value and best quality in both.

From time to time I run a test on whether RAW or JPEG files offer the best quality and I've just repeated that with the K10D. Looking at the A3 prints, it's a moot point which is best, but so far slightly more viewers have chosen the JPEG version as the sharpest and most detailed. Whichever is best, it is now very, very close indeed.

Have fun with the camera!

It's getting better.

No, I can assure you that's not what happened. I volunteered to be a Beta tester and one of the things I spotted early on was that we needed to be able to post images in the forums, so that was agreed. There were various issues, but as the forum wasn't "live" a lot of the things we are finding now were not readily apparent. I also raised the 800 pixel image size issue, and that is ongoing, I suspect because it's a bit more embedded in the design already done, but I'm not sure on that.

I think phpBB3 is the way to go, but I'm not sure anyone agrees with me!

Thanks, that's very helpful.

I hope you can all be patient enough to wait and see what happens next? This is a really good community with a great spirit and it's better kept together.

I'm sure the dissatisfactions have been heard loud and clearso can we see what the response is today and beyond? Remember the dreadful change of colour a few months back? After a very short while is was corrected, so I'm sure that the team at PU are listening just as attentively now and working hard at solutions.

There's sometimes a feeling that any picture can be lifted with impunity, but of course we all own the copyright in the images we make.

I'm no expert in the field of copyright, but my guess is that it would probably be acceptable to show a small copy of an image in a discussion such as this, in other words like in a review or piece of editorial, but would definitely not be OK to use the image as part of the design of the main website, not without permission anyway.

Sometimes people's images are lifted and used without permission by various companies and this is a thing to be deplored.

Are you trying to tell us you're getting old?

Seriously, you're right. After the initial euphoria of being able to do all sorts of things to images we settle down to something more rational.

And it would be much safer to read the manual first before damaging something on the camera...the Pentax cameras operate in a way which is very common to film cameras in general, so if you were having difficulty you may not be very familiar with older models.

In any event, don't try to force anything. It should all operate slickly and smoothly.

Some Ricoh lenses have an extra pin that locks into the Pentax K mount, making it very very difficult if not impossible to get the lens back off the camera. To be safe it's better to avoid them completely.
