Is TI 11 any better or worse than v. 10?

Thanks, that seems to be the cause. Unfortunately when the 2nd computer boots the primary computer is already running and the display's input automatically switches back to it if nothing is found on the other input after about 2 seconds. It may be possible for the 2nd computer to find the card...

I have a monitor with 2 digital inputs that has been in use for a couple of years. One digital to digital cable connects to the main computer and works fine. I have been using a digital to VGA cable on the other input to connect to the older, backup computer. Switching via the monitor front...

There is nothing wrong with David just posting a link compared to some people embedding huge 3rd party photos inline, often without credits or © info. :(

:(

Funny, I was going to mention that first but had some problems in the past. Have the buggies been killed off in the latest version?

Can you link to one of the RAW files for examination?

PTGUI

Stop using modern, crappy software. :) I do 5K x up to 30K (max limit for TIF) single-row pans on an old Win2K system.

How can those parts have been in that drive???

What is what about?

Hey, a satellite location recently installed the "new" Dell Vostoc workstation computers with 160Gb drives. :) That is huge compared to the OS and applications. By law all the data must be saved on the network.

OK. I don't know about those. I use other software tools.

You are losing over 55% of the pixels compared to the other orientation.

I've been using the Flash X-Tender since around 10 years ago when the inventor Walt Anderson sold them directly to me. :lol: Better beamer was a later rebranding of the product by resellers I believe. Realistic light gain is about 2 stops with a modern zoom-head flash. I have a bunch of arms...

What is this merger you are describing? The 16.7 MP single images are rather small, but there are around 5 image layers on average. The 6x9 scans are more cumbersome to work with.

What do you mean by normally, as compared to abnormally? It looks like you have only a little over 2.2K vertical resolution which is far less than the ~3.5K resolution of the sensor. Yes. A common pitfall that novices face is cropping pans too tightly since it it may not be feasible to...

It is hard to determine from the jpeg, but the image does not look so good. There are several problems that may be recoverable if the RAW file is not clipped like the jepg and appropriate curves and other parameters are used. If you plan to print large single-row pans in the future, start by...

Performance of a hard drive is significant when working with large files. For example my typical Photoshop files for the 16.7 MP body are around 500MB each and sometimes larger. Opening and saving such files is not entirely drive bound, but performance differences between generations of drives...

Hey what happened? I wanted to post and the forum disappeared. :o

It is only 500 GB so why not buy a new drive?

Eat me, drink me....

I have some Kinesis gear, but I thing your needs are better suited with something other than a belt system. There are so many differnt solutions it is not funny. You probably want something of the convertible shoulder/backpack type that allows for quick access when needed yet works well enough...

You were hiking all that time with a camera around your neck? Yikes. Get a Mini Trekker or something like it so you can bring more gear without the punishment. Did you reach the location in time?

Why do you need to hold a camera for 3-4 hours at a time? Get an Optech wide neoprene strap if you must hand hold or use a monopod or tripod. Get a good bag/backpack/beltpack that distribes the weight properly and allows access for the type of work you do. If you are doing any serious...

David, you need the USB cable and Canon software to change the user name.

Bah, I'm old enough to be your father (as is Tony) and not in good shape. I can carry the 100-400, 500/4 IS, 24-105 IS, TCs, flash, a pair of 1Ds MK IIs, and a cheapie Canon body (30D or similar) in the field if necessary, though it is unpleasant. :( I can't handle steep hiking very well, but...

Holy crap, that exposure is out of control and blur is not likely to be caused by camera shake if handheld. Did you by any chance drop and damage the camera? I've not seen anything like that from a working body/lens.

ExpressCard CF card readers work just fine, Gary. Here is nice, cheap and very fast UDMA USB reader. The Extreme IV cards are recommended for UDMA speed if needed. Yet only the newest cameras like the 1Ds MK III and D3/D300 can use UDMA. (The 1D MK III is older technology that does not use...

It looks like wideangle distortion that can be corrected in PP - not the main fault of the image. Oceans are expected to curve a bit due the shape of the earth.

Something is amiss. :( The original image is very soft/shaky, indicating a focus error and/or inappropriate shutter speed for the support used. The exposure is uneven, indicating improper use of filtration and/or exposure. Some PP may help after the fact. The most important thing is to...

Why bother? You would get "LOST" anyway. :D

NO, but thanks for giving one more to worry about. Tax papers are gone except last year scanned, even that birth certificate I had once.

What is meant by a stripper factory — nearly naked people assembly Hondas or something whilst defying OSHA regs?

All human problems have the trivial solution and eventually the entire species will be extinct.

Ordinary consumers just want a screw-in E26/E27 diffused, ominidirectional bulb replacement with instant turn on to high brightness, no toxic waste disposal requirement, and a reasonable efficiency similar to CFL. Have fun replacing several thousands of dollars worth of lamps and fixtures in...

Sure. Maybe I'll win the lottery or be in a car crash. :)

My life is basically ruined due to a combination of factors, but it does not matter.

I'm totally F***ED. :crap: :bibber:

A 500/4 is not a hardcore birder's lens. It is a general purpose wildlife lens. I have used mine with a little success ;) on birds, but serious birders use 600 mm or longer lenses. Bird photography is specialized and can be rather difficult, requiring patience and dedication to scout out...

Do you have one, or just talking?

So you need to drive like a maniac when the roads have only two lanes? That's why I would get a solid SUV if I had to drive in those areas. Fortunately I no longer drive in risky head-on collision zones.

Each of the four current Canon 70-200 L versions are fine pro grade lenses. I've owned 5, including at least one copy of each of the four types. Is that your favorite of the four?

Does that green thing in the tray show all the CPU's % utilizations when you are doing something intensive like massive resizing or GB?

Does the new PS 10 for Windows utilize a quadratic core CPU yet?

Is there any chance that Pentax will produce a better DSLR than the low end/consumer stuff for their good glass?

That should have been from the Dïscfärm?

Using multiple personalities is better than having them. :)

HDs have become boring since SATA and SAS is not popular with the home users now. I suppose there will be more interest in storage when SSDs become less expensive and everyone uses them for c: drives. For sure this place is not SR ca. 1998 when we were arguing about the merits of the 14GXP and...
