Freudian slip?

Is the header to this post a freudian slip? I am afraid that I am not familiar with this publication! I know this forum is broiad minded but there are limits!!

It is a workflow which suits me and you can further refine it by configuring ACSSee 9 ultimate to send an image to other editing programs or directly to PS plugins such as Topaz filters. They have a habit of issuing a new version every 6 months or so. I usually resist any temptation to upgrade until they drop the price which they normally do after a couple of months. I am pretty happy with this version so I may well stick with it. Very few people in the UK seem to have heard of this program but it is widely used over the pond as an alternative to Lightroom.

Responding to the OP's questions on ACDsee. The browser does all the things you want. ACDSee will read and save psd images but does not preserve the layers created in PS. I use ACDsee in conjunction with Photoshop Elements so I think I get the best of both worlds - the easier functionality of ACDsee and the more sophisticated editing possible in PSE.

I an a big fan of ACDSee Pro and am now using ultimate 9. There is no importing or exporting and it simply picks up your file and returns edited version to the normal windows file tree. It is pretty easy to use and I always come back to it after trialling other programs. The RAW converter is as good as Camera RAW but the editng function is not as refined as Photoshop Elements , but the latest version of ACDSee is much improved. You can now shoot an image into external editors such as PSE or Topaz very easily. They offer a month's trial and it is worth seeing whether you like it. The integration of image browser and editor is probably the best there is.

I am undecided about it. I do not have LR so I can not compare. The interface seems quite complex with different ways of working and I suspect one has to be familiar with the detailed functions to get the best out of it. It seems to be at least as good as the other denoising programs I have tried, but I am as yet sure whether it would be worth getting it.

You could always try Cranleigh Camera Club. We have no snobbery here and we seldom see other members' gear. We concentrate on the output and it does not matter what has been used - it could be a phone even.

Lens now sold to bwp_pentax

This is the original metal mount, quickshift version of the DA 55-300. I am selling only because I have acquired the new HD WR version. I have always been pleased with the results I have had with this lens. It is in very good condition, is unmarked and has end caps, soft pouch,original box and documentation. I am asking for £125 to include Paypal fees and RMSD which I think is a very reasonable price so I am not looking for offers.

One drawback of mine is that it it has only one black cartridge, but with that limitation it does extremely well, but you might best look at a superior model which has more than one grey/black cartridge.

The inks I use, are not anywhere as cheap as these - I think I am paying £2.99 each from 7 Day shop. One nice thing about them is that they light up just like the Canon originals and unlike the JetTec ones.
