NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

Still have not finished clearing a loft - my Mother-in-law kept telling all her friends who had nowhere to put their rubbish " That's OK , put it in our Loft " She did this for years and after her death we started to clear some room in it for OUR stuff . After my husband died I decided to be ruthless - and we filled a 14 cu yd Skip - much of it from the loft and the loft is STILL not empty

Your drizzle might possibly help to soften my ice

I had to chip some away so I could open my gates to get the car out - the roads have been well treated here - but my back yard is solid ice !!

I've a K-x screaming to be used and I can't get it out in these conditions .

Since you are using iPhoto could I suggest you duplicate it and then play around using the duplicate with the various things on the Adjust Palette in the Edit mode .

This way your original is safe

After each alteration in Edit mode you can compare it with the original , and if you don't like it all you need to is go to Edit and then undo.

Just do it one alteration at a time .

Hmmmmm ........

Interesting topic this

So far I only have the K-x and its 18-55 lens and of course my flash .....

Photomonk was reminding me the other day about forward planning / packing for the camera - and I ended up thinking along these lines

Camera

Lens - 18-55 on the camera and [ once it's here ] the 50 -200 in my bag

Flash - my Metz 48

Batteries - set in Camera and spare set , set in Flash and spare set

Cards - in camera and also spare 4GB cards too

Notebook and pencil

PLASTIC BAG / s - well my camera is not weather resistant and my bag / bags do not have weather covers for them - so it's a big one to cover the bag and smaller ones to protect my gear .

Strikes me this is plenty to be carrying around - not only that my small bags [ yes 2 of them ] won't actually take more - the bigger new one will but then who wants to go walk-about-with a largish backpack ? The new Bag is really intended for travelling when on holiday and when I really do have to have my lappy with me as well .

My comments

I have found that North Americans speak faster than we do - this gave me problems when in the USA earlier this month .

I would say that your oral delivery needs to be a little slower .

Also your contact info needs to be on much longer - I doubt that many folk would have got it written down or memorised by the time the video was over.

Sophiecentaur said not for my MacBook Pro

If I go to Display in System Prefs I have two options - Display - Resolution - and a huge list of possibilities - a slider for brightness and my MBP will automatically adjust brightness as ambient conditions change . There is also the ability to detect displays

The other option is colour and a goodly number of display profiles - most of the common ones from my memory of the Calumet Printing Seminar . It is possible to calibrate it - but I think this is done manually rather than with a 'gadget ' and I don't want to fiddle with things I don't understand.

There may be differences with Desktop Machines - we need Photomonk here since he has both Desktop and MacBook.

BTW - what System are you running ?

Him speak truth there

It was a good 3 hour Seminar and the topic of adjustment of monitors was well and truly discussed .

He did comment that the Apple display looked good - but kept emphasising that in fact it was no good for work where you wanted to be able to adjust contrast .

Sad , but true and I'm on a MacBook Pro too . Fortunately I , when giving the Tower Unit from my husband's PC to my grandson , kept the Monitor .

Welcome to the Pentax Family

Yes - but you celebrate St Nick's day instead

I've just been given link as a Christmas present , hopefully to keep my stack of Hybrios in good condition .

It looks as if it does the same job as your Maha charger
