Very effective technique, works well on t hose pics.

Personally, I think the standard Black is much more approriate

I've not noticed any such difference between my old GX20 and K5.

Just reading through these comments and thinking how Lightroom has transformed my filing and work flow.

I'm no Adobe fanboy but this is some of the most effective and well designed software I've ever used. It took me a few months to realise that it was a database application which needs thought and time to learn. But once understood it makes everything to do with image handling easier and faster.

I can't think how I'd manage without it now.

What I'd like is to tether to my iPad.

It appears to be impossible, though since so many people want to do it someone would satisfy the demand if it were possible.

I second that.

The problem with archiving so far has not been the life of the medium itself but the availability of readers to access it.

Think of all the floppy disks, zip disks and so on from the past. DVD-RAM may be readable in 100 years but what will you read it on?

Mind you, since I will be 167 years of age then, if I am spared, perhaps it may not be a worry for me personally

I shoot DNG on my K5, RW2 on my Pansonic GF1. I import as DNG to one folder applying copyright metadata.
I label all incoming red - triage. I then ruthlessly select my frames (as any good news photographer will have learnt to do) and label them green - ready to process or yellow, to be deleted.
After processing I export as jpeg to an upload folder and label the RAW files from which the jepgs have been made purple (awaiting QC).
On gaining QC, I remove the label and keyword the images.

I keep an extensive series of smart collections so that I can divide and subdivide in every conceivable way in combination with keywords.
I do not keep exported jpegs other than my family ones since it is the work of a moment to export again.

I can find any of my images in moments now and track exactly what has been done with them. Occasionally I send an image to Photoshop but I hardly use it since setting up LR properly and getting to understand it.

I keep all my DNGs in one folder. All date and technical data for sorting is in exif and keywords and smart collections do the rest.

One thing to remember. Lightroom does not care where images are physically stored. It works on metadata. Therefore organising by folder negates the reason for using Lightroom which is a database, not an image explorer.

Many people think that 'folders' have some physical reality and that putting files in them separates them somehow. It does not. Folders are a notion, not a physical reality and files are sprayed all over the HD wherever there is room for them, sometimes in consecutive sectors, sometimes not.

A folder is really a filename. dix1image.jpg and dix2image.jpg are different file names. That is all the folder name represents. There is no limit to the number of files a folder can contain. The number of files in a LR catalog has little or no effect on speed since the catalog method is manipulating metadata, not images. Some users have upwards of 250,000 image catalogs!

I have attempted to keep my structures and workflow simple and easy to follow in accordance with good database management which is the raison d'etre of Lightroom. It took me a while to understand it and longer to find and adapt my workflow but having put in the effort I am now reaping the benefits of simplicity in saved time.

I still hate keywording images, though!

If you have no problem with the focussing, leave it alone!

I had one lens on my GX20 which was obviously out but all the others were fine. On my K5, all lenses are fine including the one that was out on the GX.

I don't know why this would be but the error on my GX was repeatable and demonstrable.

Even if the effect was only obvious on pixel peeping, since the facility is there to improve accuracy, why not? Plainly, if there was never a need for it, Pentax would not include it.

Just to add that a good way to make sure all is lined up properly is to put a mirror in the centre of your newspaper 'target' and line up with the reflection of your camera.

My 12-24mm Pentax zoom front focussed by 6 units on my GX20 but is bang on on my K5. All other lenses required no correction.

The correction (Apply All) will apply overall to all lenses for use if mis-focussing is constant or separately (Apply One) for up to 20 lenses.
so that a separate adjustment is applied to each when it is fitted to the camera.
