Hi ACDSEE doesn't convert from RAW formats correctly. Effects applied by the camera setting's i.e. Vivid are not transferred from the RAW image to a saved JPG image. I shoot in NEF then use Adobe Camera RAW to convert to JPG and then back to ACDSEE if changing tones/lighting/saturation...

Hi I have used them and got the advanced version of CS5 for the price of the normal version. Apparently Adobe products are sold in the US for a third of the price they are sold here! even worst than Pounds for dollars! I had problems when I moved the installed software from system to...

We have a Lastolite HiLite Illuminated Background and we really like the idea of constant lighting and not having to use flash but instead use it with Daylight Fluorescent lights. We are contemplating using: Two light units with removable 85cm octagon softbox These provide 5000k cool...

I went and bought a 580EXII as we need it for next wednesday and we only have one flash at the moment (430EX). We need two, as last time we took some pictures at an event at night I used a 50mm prime which worked quite well but it was a bit of a job getting enough light. I like this idea of...

Had a chat with Lehmanns, but before I send I have put in the airing Cupboard for a while to ensure no moisture.

My brother told me about these lights and I researched them and now I want to find somewhere that sells them (a lot cheaper). The conversion rate $1500 to £1000. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y0uTT_R05Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osnRs5cDJKE&feature=related...

I have cleaned the contacts and they look clean........... Mike

Having gone through a lot of tripods in the last three years the only ones worth having are the ball-head ones. The fixed head type rely on the surface you are setting up on as being flat other wise you end up spending a lot of time setting the tripod up to get the picture alignment straight...

Has anybody seen this before, the camera (Canon 5D mk1) keeps flicking between the f-stop setting and 0.0 (Canon 70/200 2.8 IS L). Not sure if it had got some rain on it as when I took it out the camera bag when it was raining, it started doing this straight away. Still doing it now at home in...

Hi Michael I have a Epson R2400 and I would recommend FotoSpeed.com fpor a CIS (bulk inker) about £99 for your printer. They will do you a profile as well, their inks are very good. I have used three different systems and they are about the best inks! Mike

I have a 5d MK1 and I have a Canon 16-35, which is a great lens but I tend to use it in town when I want to get a whole building or for large groups of people. Not used it much for landscape as was not getting what i wanted, I reckon my best landscape Lens was 10-20 sigma on a cropped sensor. I...

Has anyone used the Canon WFT-E4 II Wireless Transmitter. I am told that you can continuously take pictures and they are transferred back to the wireless server (I am going to use a netbook) so you do not need to wait for the picture to transfer before taking the next. As I am told this is a...
