Hi, I generally use a good quality but lightweight paper for my Calendars,I trawl around to find discounted paper on special offer rather than use a cheap and nasty paper. Something like Fujifilm Multijet Photo Paper 180 gsm is nice.The 210gsm is a bit too heavy for this kind of work.

My Daughter is Heavily into "Buffy" (I have 2 Bedrooms full of Merchandise to prove it!) As Summer Glau was in "Angel" She wanted her autograph< She was in Milton Keynes the Day before the UK Premier of Serenity, Summer was really lovely to my daughter and was more than happy to pose for a Photo, (On Colour Neg with my MX unfortunately)So anyhow we Saw the film and I bought a limited Edition DVD from Oz and then the Box Set of Firefly, Shiny!

To my mind they would probably generate more income if they released a new version every 5 years. It would make it a more realistic proposition for Advanced amateurs and smaller businesses. (They would still have to release free upgrades for new Camera`s etc.) It would give them more time to perfect the next full version and promote more confidence amongst Photoshop users.
Incidentally, I just noticed Dave Evanson`s Serenity Header Picture, Are you a Browncoat?

Thanks but i`ll pass on that one!!!

I have not done that for more than35 years with my Zenit E!
I tried to go minimalist when i first bought my IstDL (Though not with a primea). When i used Film i would go Everywhere with my Billingham 550 full so i thought, New technology- New attitude, It did`nt last long and i now have a new 550 brim full!

I`m just getting concerned about all these people admitting to taking their Camera`s into the shower!!!

Yes, It looks a big improvement over the Liquefy tool that i use at present. You could certainly have some fun with it or even create Animated movies much more easily. Although i would not upgrade for that alone! I know Adobe is struggling but surely they can`t go on bringing out new versions of Photoshop every year! I bet even the Pro`s are getting fed up!

Hi just spotted this Adobe CS5 Preview Video showing some amazing new features. (Just bear with the Arty bit which is shown first) link

Great Sky for a B/W image and the white cloud makes good focal point but the ivy is just too much! There needs to be something to add interest to the image. My eye just keeps going to that cloud!

Best Regards - Pete.
