I stopped entering a while ago after I decided the judging was so random it was pointless. However, I popped back to see how things have been going and maybe entering again but I can't figure it out now. The competition seems to be spread all over the place.

are there anybody who uses GIMP ?
I am loosing the pssibility to "select". There must be some "place" where I switch it out without noticing it myself
Possible mistakes?
I use Gimp extensively and there are a couple of conditions when selection may appear not to be working.

But first, which version of Gimp? They changed the selection tools completely in 2.4. If you haven't already upgraded, you should - for a more pleasant experience.

Also, is this on Linux or Windows?

Released yesterday, I think.

3.3 expired yesterday so this follows on nicely.

Good until May. I'm told, but unsupported, as before.

This is entirely due to the quick way the image is scaled.

Some software has options for adjusting scaling quality varying from quick to best. You may find an option to adjust it.

Properly scaled images shouldn't lose quality.

If you really need it, you can always get one of these:

I had a play with one at the SWPP show earlier this month and it was very neat.

Does it have one?

Pentax had a minimal presence at the SWPP & BPPA show last week. I don't think there were any of their own staff there but were relying on resellers to represent them. In contrast, Canon and Nikon had large stands with plenty of hands-on.

Now, looking at the exhibitors for the "Focus on Imaging" show next month, I see Pentax isn't listed there either.

If they want to be a big player in this game, they're going to need to start acting like one.

I find a lot of wedding photographs hideously cheesy and I'm afraid the picture above is a very good example of this. It is contrived and excessively sentimental.

Gay or hetro, wedding photographs should look classy and honour both parties. Neither should be conveyed as fawning or servile. I think this picture breaks this rule.

Also, it looks a bit like one hand is trying to force the other...(to sign or to not sign?)

Harsh, I know, but I hope it helps.

Looks sadly limited with slow speeds, poor range and single access point.

They haven't used any imagination with the configuration software, opting instead for some horrible clunky GUI application.

Price is good though.
