Lovely flowers, but needs the adjustments Cliff suggests. Very dark on my monitor.

Great capture again Paul.

Getting better by the day !!

Here are some good articles on the USM http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/unsharp-mask.htm

Remember to use the USM as the last thing you do to the photo. So after all editing and resizing.

The settings will be dependent on both the subject and the size of your output. A good "average" setting I find is 80/0.6/0 for a file 1000 or 800 pixels wide.

Thanks for the link Pete. I have done as you suggest

Great detail. The eye is captivating.

Good luck to you.

I have a question for the experts on monitor profile with the Silkypix RC.


Background :I calibrate my monitor with a huey. The monitor profile is called "huey dell 1703FP 4Y279488AFTS" and I can see this in "display properties when I right click the desktop.

Now in the Silkypix version 3.0, under Display Settings: I tick Enable colour display management and I have two options for monitor profile :
1. windows default, which is labled "huey D65 G2.2 A0.00"
2. Select icc/icm file...where I can browse to the profile "huey dell 1703FP 4Y279488AFTS"
I have has Silkypix v3.0 set to the latter option, as this is my monitor profile, right ??


Now when I use the new Slikypix RC version, under Display setting/monitor profile it gives me the option to select "(Windows control value)huey D65 G2.2 A0.00". But there is no sign of the profile
"huey dell 1703FP 4Y279488AFTS" ??

I am a bit confused. I use windows XP.

Any help appreciated.

I love this thread !

Martin, whats best for getting red wine stains out of a wool carpet ?

Nice shot. I love Wells, it is a wonderful place.

I have both cameras, and both produce excellent images. The K10 has the shake reduction of course, and so may be better suited to your candid shots, depending on light.
