Out of interest, have you tried Zerene Stacker? If so, do you get the same problem?

As well as http://extreme-macro.co.uk, have a look at https://www.stackrail.info/index.php/en/articles as well.

You could also try DarkTable as opposed to LightRoom.

I have the P800 but use Permajet ink and papers. The quality seems just as good with the Permajet ink/paper and you get 'free' profiles for your own printer rather than generic profiles. If you do decide to go for the P800, keep a lookout for special deals. When I got mine, I got a roll feeder...

I had the same issue. Eventually got so pee'd off with the anti-glare screen that I have removed it. Just deciding if I should bother replacing it with a clear one or not bother at all.

I use the Permajet refillable cartridges, and their paper, on my P800. Works fine for me, no problems with it or the quality.

I use the P800 and it has a dedicated/special mode for black and white prints. I believe the P600 is the same. I've never had a colour cast, and even if you did, there is a part of the driver for dealing with that to eliminate that.

Lucky you. I've never seen one in the flesh.

Only ever seen them at fishmongers, and they don't want to let them go as their supplier wants them back to reuse for more fish.

What are you shooting that needs more FPS than you have? Unless it's fast moving sports or BIFs is there much need for more FPS? Looking at your kit list, only one of the 3 lenses you have is EF-S, so the other 2 will work fine with full frame, and neither of those lenses suggests you shoot...

Could be, but just a 'thanks' never did any harm.

I'm not keen on the first one, it is tending to disappear into the rest of the photo. Too much in focus or too similar colours so your eye is not drawn to the tool. The second is a little noisy and lacks contrast to make in stand out. In the third, the (now) white flowers are waaay to bright...

The OP has been back on line today but has not responded in any way. Why do people ask for help/advice and then just ignore everyone, not even a simple 'thank you'?

You could also possibly change the hard disc in the laptop to a bigger one. You can buy a kit (hard disc, cables, software etc) that contains eveything you need and is quite simple to do.

Why the different specs for the cards? You will be slowed down to the lowest spec card. I was insured when my camera went for its swim and had everything replaced within 4 days by the insurance company. No images on my cards that couldn't be taken again if wanted, so I was fortunate that way as...
