If all you want to do is create an image disc that can get your windows install back to the point when you took the image, then the inbuilt Windows imaging in Win7 and Win8 work perfectly. There never has been anything wrong with them. They are very basic though and don't give you many options...

Got the Huion H610 Pro here and it is a very good bit of kit. I have said on here before that the Huion drivers are much better than Wacom's, in fact they make Wacom look like a bunch of overpriced amature's. Certainly overpriced anyway lol. You defo will not be dissapointed, the tablet does...

What i would do in your position is go to Control Panel/Backup and Restore, from there create a system image using a spare HD or any HD in your system that does not contain your Windows files, or you can use DVD's. Also create a System repair disk. That way, if things don't work after you have...

Win 10 is actually very good, been running the trial version for a few months now. I did a fresh Win10 install on to a spare HD though, and then installed PS and Lightroom and they work fine with no issues. What i will say though is, the Upgrade Microsoft is offering is just that at the start...

Bit of a stupid and unintuitive one this from Adobe. I always assumed that updates were done via the Cloud App, this one is yes, but you have to launch it from Lightroom or Ps to get it. I've been trying to get it to download and install for days using the Cloud App, it was showing it there as 2...

As you probably know, there is a small preview pane on the top left of LR5 when you move the mouse or pen over any presets before "clicking" on them.

Or you could buy a Huion 610pro for a fraction of the price and assign one of it's shortcut buttons ;)

Wacom's drivers for some time have been very hit and miss depending on what hardware you are running. In all honesty, i expected the same from Huion's drivers. But was very surprised when everything "just worked" straight out the box on all the different systems i have. As i said, it was a bit...

It might sound odd to some, but there are other tabs out there other than Wacom's. Took a punt and bought a Huion H610 professional to replace a broken Bamboo, cost £40. Miles better than the bamboo it replaced and more importantly much better drivers (for win7 anyway). I've always thought Wacom...

As has been said, IR photography using a DSLR is difficult to impossible. I still have and use a Cannon T90 because of this (and because i still like taking slide pics lol). A good cheap SLR can be found just about anywhere nowdays. If you get one along with a few rolls of Ilford SFX 200, you...

Having been a keen photographer for over 40 years the only filters i use are polarizers and Grads. Have never used UV's and have never had any damage to the front element of any lens. Because of this i have no idea if they affect image quality.

Current fav is the 24-105L on my 5D mkii, got that itch for something longer though. My all time fav though is my FD 135 f2.8. Bought it a couple of months after i got my T90 in the 1980's and have used it nearly every week since then and still do. Great indoors and outdoors. One of the best...

Apart form everything mentioned in the above posts, if at any point this studio needs professional models, you will not be able to get insurance cover. You will have to keep the floor very very clean to get the effect you want, because of this it will be very slippery. It's a safety risk that no...

I think the reason we bought them in such numbers was down to price. I was 13 when i bought the Zenit B. As a schoolboy there was no way that i could afford any other make of SLR. Clunky and heavy as they were, they were a very good way to get a good grounding in photography and in a lot of...

My first camera was a Zenit B. Was as excited as a very excited thing when i bought it at the age of 13 :) Paid for by pea picking during the summer holidays. Next up was a Nikon FM, a Zenza Bronica ETRS, a Cannon T90 (which i still have and use) and finally a Cannon 5D MKII.
