I would agree with Keith - use RAW to make sure you are comparing like with like. If the main difference is in the sharpness then it seems likely that it could be the in-camera sharpening settin...

I have been looking at this page. It's a bit long but you might find help there. I am assuming you are using Safari on Mac. link

If you don't already have a powerful computer and nice monitor, put some of your budget aside for these. The better cameras give huge files and few people enjoy looking at the hour-glass icon!

Think you might need this

The first one Andy linked to was I'm sure by mistake as it's a really dodgy one that's trying to trade on the good name of the real thing. Unistall it and try the second link.

All the recommended software suggestions will help but to get the most out of whichever one you choose, I suggest you also get hold of a copy of 'The DAM Book' by Peter Krogh. This is pretty much the ...

In general terms, I will go along with that; my own stuff is calibrated but there is nothing I can do about the screen at work but following the advice Alex has given will get you close to the mark - ...

1 Write down a list of the best gear going 2 Burn the list, cos you can't ever hope to afford it. 3 Buy the closest you can get and be happy!! I religiously kept a notebook recording aperture and...

Both the 150-500 and 50-500 sigma lenses are not well suited to Motorsport on the Pentax as the combination of Pentax AF (up to the K20D at least I have not tried a K7) and a 6.3 max aperture at the l...

Many thanks for your critique Cheryl. Good point about the idea of a theme and something I will probably try. Thanks Ian

Your gracious apology is accepted :D

Lol :D Well that was the other choice...a snake. That idea got nixed in the bud, hehe. I've done some more research and it seems the proper name for this Orange Banded thingie is an Amber Millipede ...

'Worse than having the wife nagging you' You should try the SatNag

Have downloaded and installed firefox, goodness, it is fast. I GOOGLEed for firefox and all pointed to 'buy', versions, even when accessing through CDNet. Will scan the PC shortly. I had loaded Zon...

I bought an Olympus E510 last year with a 14-42 and a 40-150 kit lens set. I wish I had saved a bit longer and bought a Cannon. I have been rather disappointed with quite a lot of the resulting photog...

At least with witchcraft all you need to do is prove you are heavier than a duck. Yes as has been pointed out the issue is around sexually provocative and indecent, so there is a case for the photo...

I'm pretty sure the lens will remain wide open without the electronic contacts to close it down, though I did read somewhere that on the 400D (which I also have) you can use the Depth Of Field Preview...

Oops, forgot about that!

I used to live in a farmhouse, which my mum was convinced was haunted, at the bottom of the road from the hospital. However I was only 3 at the time so can't really remember anything about the place. ...
