    Vatersay beach scene

    I've been using DSCL for several years but I have found recently that their colour balance seems to be off, especially for their standard photo prints. Very evocative scene by the way, very "Outer Hebrides".

    New external hard drive?

    My IT guy has suggested the following - he seems to know his stuff: >In terms of speed external drives are slower so best used for storage of finished projects. Anything being worked on is best to be on the SSD. >It is recommended to have 15% free space on an SSD for 500 that would be 75Gb...

    Horseflies (Clegs).

    "Slap first, look second" is my motto.

Denoise-ing OM1 Mk 2 (18 Mb each) files now takes about 15 secs instead of 2-3 minutes! Dell have a refurb shop where I got...
