I don’t think the subject has sufficient fine detail for a difference to be more obvious, you need something with a bit of texture - got any nuts left?

Fascinating, I get that the daughter was so dismissive as she made a link between photography and alcoholism which led to violence by her father, however if there are any descendants I guess they will be pleased to benefit from lucrative royalties.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, I took more on the first morning but with a small Leica so haven’t posted those here. Technically no comparison with the K1 though!

Is there any in-camera facility for processing pixel-shift files, even if it is just assembly into a single initial image?
The four images are automatically combined into a single file in the camera which you process like a standard image in appropriate software. I believe where other manufacturers have a similar feature they are retained as separate images which have to be combined afterwards in special software (if you can identify them amongst the photos on your card).

Well Wacom support has given up, the last message was the hardware is working fine (I already knew that) so there must be something wrong with my computer and I should do a factory reset and try again. Given all the hassle that involves it isn’t going to happen, funny it’s only their software I have trouble with.

A nice set. Number 4 is my favourite. Is the colour in 2 natural or a sepia tone added?
Thanks psburnley, I had the camera colour temperature set to "cloudy" rather than the usual "auto" which gives it that warm colour although I switched back to "auto" for the rest. To counter that a bit in Lightroom I modified the colour grading of the shadows into some blue; in fact I have done that on all of them as it subtly gives that cold feel without losing the colours of stone, dead grass etc.

Yesterday we had a heavy frost and it was very foggy - who could resist! Today we had a dusting of snow but melting fast so again I went for a walk, here are a few from today and yesterday.

Here is the list of instructions from Wacom support:

1. Disconnect the tablet from your computer entirely. Now take the necessary steps to manually uninstall the driver:https://www.wacom.com/support?guideId=002-235 . Once that is done, check to see whether your computer can find any other present files by using 'Wacom' as a search term in Finder (Cmd + Space). Should that be the case, delete these as well. Empty your recycle bin. Restart your computer.

2. Install the latest driver. https://www.wacom.com/drivers

Go to the Apple menu, open System Preferences, and select Security & Privacy. Go to the Privacy tab, then click on the lock at the bottom of the preferences to be able to make changes. You will be asked to input your credentials. Then select the Accessibility tab. Now select one of the Wacom items listed, and then click on the ""-"" sign below that list to remove it from the list, then do the same thing for all ""Wacom"" files listed there. Once they are all removed, click on the ""+"" sign below the list, then on the folder that opens, select your ""Macintosh HD"" at the top. Then browse to the folder /Applications/Wacom Tablet/.

Press "Command"+"Shift"+"Dot" (cmd+⇑+.) keys together to show hidden folders and open /Applications/Wacom Tablet/.Tablet .

Select the WacomTabletDriver.app and WacomTouchDriver.app files. Be careful to select "WacomTabletDriver.app" NOT "TabletDriver".

.IOManager should appear on its own. If not Restart the Mac and you will see a message to enable IOManager in Preferences/Accessibility and after another restart just to make sure connected the Tablet
so please check this box as well. After this, please check whether you can find WacomTabletDriver under "Input Monitoring". If this is not the case, please add it as well, if possible. Afterwards, go back to 'System Preferences' > 'Users & Groups' > 'Login Items' under your main profile to add WacomTabletDriver if it is not already in that list. Then restart your computer. Now you can connect the tablet.

IF THIS STILL DOES NOT WORK:

Do the same steps but with another user account.
Create a new local user with admin rights. There is no need to set up any email with this user.
See link below to assist you how to do this.
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18891?locale=en_US

Login with the new user account and see if you manage to install and follow the steps as previously.

This finally resulted in the software recognising the tablet but IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!

And then there are authentification stamps and the “limited edition” certification!

Those who won’t have the vaccine should be shamed, like those refusing a mask and idiots who claim it is an elaborate hoax; they will be responsible for putting everyone else at risk by keeping the virus active. They are relying on the rest of us to develop herd immunity to protect themselves but that will take far longer to achieve as a result.

Meanwhile in America we watch their much vaunted freedom and democracy crumble under mob rule. I am sure I recall DT say once that if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it, and he is very skilled at planting the seeds from the outset with allegations of fake news and then of election fraud months beforehand until it becomes such a complex web of deceit that the people find it hard to distinguish truth from reality. The problem is he started to believe it himself. I doubt if it will ever be the same there again, or were there always those arming themselves to be ready for the call?
