I will tell a lil' joke as the thread was not pointless enough. A man was fishing on the ice and sat on a chair. Then suddenly the man noticed that the devil himself came walking towards him. The man first tried to not to notice the devil but the devil kept talking about the weather and all kind of pointless stuff. Then the devil said:Sell me your soul and I will grant you 3 wishes. The man got very scared and thought about running away or sumthin'. The devil kept on telling the man to sell his soul until the man finally agreed. The man wanted first all the money on the world, and got it. Then the man said he wanted all the liquor there is, and got it. The last wish was a tricky one as he couldn't think of something else that he really wanted. Then finally the man said:Give me a couple more bottles of liquor!!

I agree, the first one looks better. They don't look like some masterpieces though. I guess that when people hear that something is done by a master they think it must be great or perhaps they think that if they don't say it's great others may think that they have poor taste or sumthin.

Yes, it seems I belong to one of the lucky ones because I see ads of a phone company, photography related ads, a pizza ad (Papa John's:lol and also a charity related ad (this one actually makes me bit sad every time I see it). But I wish you and the rest of who get 'bad ads' better luck in the near future.

Perhas I was too quick to judge. Wonga indeed is better than a loanshark as Wonga primarily seems to give short time loans and thus the debt won't get very high if you can pay back in a shortish time. Though this kind of money borrowing being too easy and fast can make money problems worse.

Thanks John for acting so swiftly on this matter.

Hi!

I don't see this advert, but I can understand it might make people uncomfortable and I agree, this kind of adverts aren't a credit to this site.

I think you need to have 2 Windows install lisences if you use Windows OS at the same time on 2 different computers, but I don't think Vista is the best choice to speed up things, Window 7 and Xp are better (I prefer 64 bit). I think PeteL meant you should allocate more RAM to Photoshop, not disk space. Photo looks great already.
P.S. Sorry my sentences aren't that great grammar wise...

I'm sorry for your loss kiwao. You could send a 100 % crop sample of a part of one image for us to see.

I must say that I don't see much noise in these pictures. The K-x is known to be great in the noise department so one shouldn't see much noise. Are these 100% crop photos? If not that may be the reason I don't see much noise. What ISO value you used?
