    iMac v Pc

    spoke to the Trafford centre shop, told me to take it back and swap it. Which in the grand scheme of things is very good, just a 50 mile round trip after packing the monster up.

    Just to keep the mac peoples feet on the ground, I bought 2 27" imacs three weeks ago; both faulty out of the box. One would not wake up, and just discovered the second one won't partition the internal HDD. swapped out the first one, probably do the same with the second. Just goes to show...

    In your main photo the glare is right on the model number for the legs, but it looks like a 190proB to me. The head is a 141RC which takes the smaller plate, which just fine for SLRs.

    was this manfrotto worth

    I have the same legs/head setup, although my head doesnt look that ratty :) If all the screws on the head work, and the lock for the plate work it should serve you well.

    1950's retro light meter

    Lab colour sharpening

    On Monday night I posted this problem on one of the Adobe forum sites. One reply said that several reports of this problem had been associated to camera raw updates 4.3.1 and 4.4.1 suggesting that I restore before this upgrade. Unfortunately I don't have a restore point before the update...
