That's a FLADYK (Four Letter Acronym Don't You Know)
Matt

For those who are unaware of the acronym, NDA = Non-Disclosure Agreement (ie a contract with a third party that restricts what you can say and do with the information that's been shared).

Matt

PS. It's a TLA, which is itself a TLA (Three Letter Acronym)

It's not the first time they've done this ZaphodB... there was a 100mm/f3.5 macro that was Cosina, and another lens that was Tamron (IIRC).
I presume they're just providing what's required...
Matt

FWIW,
The exposure warning is showing you what has been either blown out completely (red), or massively underexposed (yellow). In both cases there's no detail that can be recovered in those areas
Matt

I reckon that's got to be a typo...
The Samsung battery is listed at £39. I wonder if the grip should have been £139??

Robin,
Prieni's reply wasn't dealing with deletion - you asked how you could mark as 1, 2, or 3 starts. His answer is what I would've said
"Albums" are for things you want to keep!
(You changed your requirements after asking the question :roll

In Picasa you can physically shuffle the images around by clicking and dragging - this is also helpful

Matt

Tim:
I read that as - you can use it for whatever photographic needs you have. However, you can't sell the Picasa itself or "services" based on Picasa. Which is fair enough
Matt

Apparently:
I'm off to try it out

EDIT: Yup. Picasa adds IPTC "Keywords". Incidentally, IrfanView (with the plugins) allows full IPTC editing Picasa's search will include the keywords, as well as the file name and directory name.

Matt

Lilly,
I do the following:
1. Copy the card to a dated and named subdirectory (e.g. 2007/20070927-Testshots)
2. Use Picasa from Google

The only snag with Picasa is with the way I handle RAW outputs. They always get saved to a subdirectory, e.g. 2007/20070927-Testshots/Silkypix, and my processed Photoshop stuff goes in 2007/20070927-Testshots/Processed

Picasa, alas, seems to only show the directory name "Processed" (of which I have thousands). But at least it shows them in chronological order.

Nice things about Picasa:
* It's easy to use
* Can create a "Gift CD", either with original size images or resized.
* You can arrange photos in albums
* There are upload options for Photobox etc
* It's free

HTH!
Matt
