Well let's not be too hard on the Mayans, it's what people have done with their calendar. As Gwyn said, nothing to do with religion, or we wouldn't be discussing it!

What I understand is that it's just the end of the fourth Mayan cycle as they measured time. Perhaps they never got round to starting on the fifth, as it was a long time in the future. We may even have miscounted it over the centuries - that often happens.

Thanks Chris, the mirror lens isn't up to the mark by the looks if it.

I think that looks very similar to me Alan. This is what we get if we open a RAW file in CS5:

The extra adjustments are on tabs above the sliders area. It seems exactly the same sort of layout to me, it just opens as a large dialog box within the image area odf Photoshop.

I was expecting the world to end on the 23rd, but everyone is saying the 21st. If I'm right, the people who feel a sense of relief when the 21st goes by will be pretty miffed on the 23rd....

Actually, to be honest it may not end at all, so we might have to come down from our mountain vigil again and carry on.

I hope nobody has spent all their money in anticipation of not needing it any more....

Yes I was. The internet went down just as I tried to post the comment, hence it got out of synch.....

That's quite an interesting comment - if we open a RAW file in Photoshop, then it opens in the ACR window, within Photoshop. It doesn't have to be opened separately.

Can you expand a little please on how Lightroom is different to this? Or are you saying the Lighroom is like having ACR open in the first place?

Given the right subject, they can look incredible. A Land Rover sounds like a good subject to me.

These were very expensive when available new, so might be worth trying out. You'd likely get your money back on eBay if you decided it wasn't for you.

When comparing batteries for the K-x, I noted that mny brother-in-law managed over 1500 shots with the set of non-rechargable Lithium batteries that were supplied with the camera. I thought that was pretty good, far in excess of what I would expect from freshly charged NiMh cells.
