Is 3.3 a free download for anyone who has bought Lightroom 3?
Yes. Just run Lightroom and it should prompt you to download the update if your machine is connected to the 'net.

I have that also but cannot find where to save it once I've played with an image !
RAW converters generally don't require you to save anything. All the changes you make are saved automatically in a separate file.

I think I've figured out the problem I'm having. It seems that lens correction using profiles can't be applied to JPG's, only PEF's and DNG's.

If I select a JPG that has been shot with the 77mm Limited, Pentax does not appear as a 'Make' in the list.

I don't know if this is by design, I've never used the facility before.

I just read this in the help system:-

"Important: The lens profiles that are available in the Lens Corrections panel depend on whether you’re adjusting a raw or a non-raw file."

I guess it's by design then. Looks like all you die-hard JPG shooters are going to miss out.

Unfortunately Pentax does not appear as a 'Make' under profiles so you can't select them manually.

Some 77mm Limited shots aren't recognised automatically on mine. ? ? ?

Yes, you could be right.

What a curious first post.

And that's why I would never buy camera equipment from somewhere like Jessops. I can't imagine them going the extra mile.

I've never seen a milk bottle with a stainless steel handle before .

Sorry to read of this sad tale, but if all these 'defective' cameras are replaced by new ones, maybe we'll get some 'factory refurbished' models in the mix soon.

Welcome back Stephanie. If I remember correctly you are quite young, 12 or 13 I think?

Congratulations on owning your first DSLR, and you've picked a good one.

Your lens range covers the focal lengths from 18 - 200mm, that should be enough for now for most of your needs. Use them to the full and you will soon learn whether or not you need any other lenses.

18mm is wide enough for most landscape photography, 55mm is OK for portraits, 200mm is good for candid shots.

You would need at least 300mm for wildlife, and think about a macro lens of around 100mm for the future.

Good luck and post some of your images here.

I like the colours but not keen on the composition. I would have pulled those two weeds and removed any other debris.

My shot here would have been to use a macro lens and get in close to those two pieces of moss breaking through the ice at almost dead centre of your image.
