I can quite happily manage on CS5 for a long time yet. As things stand at the moment it wouldn't be cost effective for me to pay a subscription, and yes, I did pay for my copy of CS5!

This is really straying from the point. We can all do the original posters a favour by letting this die a natural death now, rather than prolonging it all with a new argument.

Well, from the described exposure to sand I don't think any lens would have been affected at all - if the camera was back downwards in the sand then the lens wasn't in the sand? The camera would have been fine no doubt.

Not what I would do, but you're right in that the advertising suggests that you can.

The simple answer is send it back to be sorted under warranty and see what happens.

Really excellent results. I particularly like the last one.

The WR lenses have "simplified weather resistant construction which makes it difficult for water to enter the lens" - they are not waterproof and not dust resistant. So although all weather use seems to be fine, submerging is out and I certainly wouldn't let grains of sand into the mechanism.

There's a video out there on YouTube showing resistance to sand, but I'll bet it's a DA* lens.

Don't turn it into a fight please Gentlemen. Clearly enough has been said.

Quite, let's get back to colour popping. Wedding photography does stray into needing a thread of its own.

Regardless of what any individual may think of a technique, if someone wants to do a tutorial then so be it, and well done them for making the effort.

No technique is right or wrong per se, it's what you do with it and whether the end result is pleasing or not. Pleasing is in the eye of the beholder and it may well be that customer bases also vary and have very different perceptions and requirements.

There is no reason whatsoever to print at 600ppi, referring here to the image pixels. 300ppi is more than enough.

If we're referring to the printer ink drops, then I would always use the highest available option, 2880dpi on our Epson 1290.

Thanks Ken.

The first is the Q fisheye, the second the 5-15mm. The effect is Photoshop - Channel Mixer with reduced blue and increased red and green channels. Then resizing and finally Unsharp Mask.
