Agreed, very atmospheric.

The larger image will only display if the uploaded image is large enough to support it. Have you uploaded some smaller images?

The concept of resizing is very important Nigel and not at all complicated.

Just use the crop tool and put the figures you want in. This is described in the six articles for beginners that I wrote for PU, see the articles section of the site.

Yes, but it's pretty obvious that for a high quality larger print you need a high quality image to start with.

Let's not over-complicate it.

The K-5 offers an output of approximately A3 at 300ppi. This can be extrapolated up or down in Photoshop to provide the optimum file for any print size we like. It will stand upscaling to quite some degree, and of course downscaling is also possible.

The K-5 II and IIs offer similar sizes as standard.

Yes, it applies equally to all cameras. Make the file the right size for the print or web and you'll get the optimum result.

Well, furious or not, we have to learn to upgrade at some point. It's a risk, I think it's always a risk. Pentax don't make many errors, but a K-01 update had to be corrected pretty fast as I recall.

However, if we don't upgrade then we would still be using Windows 95 and hoping that CompuServe were still in business.

One thing we never upgrade though is the OS. We take the service packs and updates, but I would never upgrade, say, from Windows 7 to 8. That will happen when we buy a new computer that's designed around the new OS.

Propoganda is a bit strong. I do see one advantage for the user, and that's the constant updating as we go, so presumably no need to decide whether or not to upgrade and no need to wait for the next version. Updates could happen like Windows Updates.

Sign up, post a picture per day, get votes of approval and feedback comments. It's a great way to learn and grow. My page is johnriley1uk if you want top have a look.

Also, it's an online magazine with news and reviews and articles.

I think it's pretty impressive and it always surprises me that more of us don't realise there's a connection between PU and EPZ. Don't forget Photodo for lenses!

Stick to ePHOTOzine, our sister site. I realise I've posted a picture a day for eight years! Wow, someone do the maths, that's a lot of pictures!

I must have a look back at page 1 and see if I've improved....

Well congratulations! By all means post a link to somewhere else and we can enjoy your pictures. We have to do it this way as they aren't strictly Pentax, but we've known you a long time here and people are more important than bald rules.

We just have to keep some decorum over it otherwise others won't understand and will think it's a free-for all!

And again, many congratulations Gareth!
