is it possible to create an action in photoshop and save it out to a memory stick and import into Elements 11 on another computer?

just a thought but have you done a firmware update, that might have upset it, there appear to have been a few glitches on the latest ones.

Forget the zoom, DA15 Limited, the old one ,it,s cheaper

you will not enjoy a lens as much as this imho

thanks Algi, there is always more to these things than you think

i thought the distance it triggers at can only vary depending on the distance the focus is set to on the lens, the point you are focusing at is static so going in or out with the camera should not change that i.e if you set the focus distance on the lens to 30cm move in closer than that to the subject then move out it will trigger at 30cm from subject or vice versa beyond 30cm from subject and move in focus is still obtained 30cm from subject so it should trigger or am i missing something Algi

an alternative for 3 is to move the camera to the subject with the shutter release held down.
it does not require a manual lens, it can be an af lens that has a switch to switch to manual focus, i use an af lens (FA50)on a 2x manual macro converter this disconnects the lens from the camera. this lens also works with my Jessops extension tubes but it seems to be a lot more difficult to lock focus with these, have only tried this tonight so the light is not very good and the set up may prove better in good daylight. these tubes do not allow af David so any lens on the end of them becomes a manual focus lens and the aperture is controlled by the camera
have just done this with 44mm of extension tube, lens focus set to infinity

David, have you tried "catch in focus" it may give a few more keepers although you are doing pretty well. not envious , much

this is my take on it ,used colour correction sliders to remove magenta then desaturated green,yellow and blue slightly all in cs5




i think quite a few use the HiTech filters from a company called Format i believe, a bit cheaper than Lee

what they mean Louise is :- DSCL 50p for EACH print up to 99.
Loxely is £1.44 for EACH print up to 10,
hope this clarifies it as from your posts you looked as though you were expecting more for your money. if i have got it wrong i apologise.
