My wifes computer has installed the raw viewer from mickysoft but it isn't

OK thanks, understand.
Just need to find a good way on the Mac then to get
a neutral background while editing.

(perhaps using full-screen as Godders suggested)

Yes, that makes sense ...

It is just that PS is the first Mac application that made me aware of it,
I have not really used any other 'multi-document' app yet ...

Lightroom is different in that it has a single large window that
takes most (or all) of the screen and puts it palletes and images
on top of that without creating new independant windows ...

Yes, that seems to be it ...

OK, that is what I ended up doing as well, allthough I need to find where
I can set the color of that background ...

Ah, OK. Thanks for the hint :-)

Yes, so do I, for photographs.

When doing artwork though, I often had several images opened in 
photoshop, and used the clipboard to copy/past stuff from one
to the other. That would be a little more difficult if you only see
one of the images at a time.

Allthough, with that kind of work it is not that important to have a 
neutral background, so I can take it out of fullscreen mode then.


It is just getting used to a slightly different pardigm :-)

Thanks for the insights ...

That's very professional indeed.

You would think that someone could have printed the correction on a
sticky label instead doing that.

Way to gor CRK.

Re: thumbs up, thumbs down?

[Paul Stenquist]

Thanks for the feedback Ken. I don't need it for the show. I'm only  
hanging six prints, and I have dozens. But I'll probably print it to  
see how it looks. It might prove interesting in that it's more a shot  
of the nature center than of a bird. The grain/noise doesn't bother  
me. It's interesting how we've all become so sensitized to a grainy  
look with digital. With film, we accepted it for the most part and  
sometimes championed it.

The bird is probably somewhat diffused by the foreground reeds. I've  
noticed that always seems to happen when you focus on an object that  
is behind something else. Thanks for the feedback. The PDML has  
voted, and this bird is staying home:-).

this one rep had already been told 4 times that the label was wrong (as

Certainly some interesting limb shapes and contours. I'd prefer if they
were more isolated from the overall tangle of the surrounding growth.
Still, I think it was worth a shot.

I don't travel with one.I try and use the truck bed or rails if i need

Re: PESO - Fly By Mustard

I like it, and I like it better with out the pole.  Maybe if the theme
is "man's intrustion on nature" the man-mad elements should be more
prominent.

I like your theme too (I haven't been paying close attention lately,
so I don't know how long you have been doing this theme).  I live and
work on the west side Denver, so every time I look out the window
there is a beatiful scene of the foothills... interrupted by
powerlines, barbed wire fences and trash.  It is frustrating because
nothing ruins your beatiful scenic like a truck and powerline in the
back ground, so I often times try to embrace it instead and try to
represent it as it really is, like Frank said.  It's just hard to make
it look pretty where there is a barbed wire fence and a dorito bag in
your way :)

Agreed.  It's unfortunate that Winders and some applications 
penalize a "correct" setup like that.  I rarely use Windows, but I've 
never come across the equivalent of the 'sudo' command under unix.  Very 
handy for running something as somebody else without having to log in as 
them.

Throw a copy of the code on your archive disks if you're worried

I still cannot believe Pentax hasn't included DNG compression in 
the camera yet.  Does it use a more computationally expensive algorithm 
than what they're using for the PEFs?  I figured there'd be a firmware 
upgrade shortly after introduction, but so far no dice.  Weird.

I was thinking more in terms of the full 6'5" tall, but only half as
wide - maybe one leg each. This is getting a bit odd.

Thanks,  Russ.

Well, I'll tell you why I like the pole. It helps mark the path the  truck 
will take. We see the truck, we see the pole, and we sort of anticipate  the 
truck will pass the pole. Fill that center spot. I have another shot with a  
gas 
tanker truck filling that center spot in front of the pole and it isn't  
nearly as effective as waiting for the white truck to fill that spot. Of 
course,  
in my photo he's never going to make it, but the anticipation is there. Without 
 the pole it is easier to ignore the truck and see it just as a pretty nature 
 shot. Because it is definitely a whole prettier without the telephone  pole.

That's all imagining in my head of course, but that is why I like  the pole 
there. 

I agree, hard to make it look pretty with a barbed wire  fence and a Dorrito 
bag. I think that is why my documentary shots so far aren't  pretty, I don't 
really want them to be. I could take them with dramatic lighting  and make them 
so, but that isn't my point. Although semi-good looking is okay.  However, I 
may try for some pretty combo shots (man-made/nature) and see how I  feel 
about it.

Thanks for looking, Later, Marnie aka Doe  :-)

AF not working on my K mount lens (on my Samsung GX-10)

[Surinder Singh]

Hi,

Hopefully this query isnt irrelevant or this list, if there is
somewhere else I should be askingthis please feel free to direct me
there.

I´m new to the DSLR wold viathe Samsung GX-10, which is basically a
rebadged Pentax K10. I´ve used it mostly with the2 kit lenses it
came with and noticed a small oddity but live with it as it didnt
affect my overall use, however I have just purchased a Sigma
18-200mm DG F3.5-6.3 and now the problem is more serious as I am
effectively unable to use the lens. Before trying to work out how
and whom to contact (this was bought online) I thought Id ask those
more knowlegable in these areas.

Basically, the default setting on the camera is to have the option
Use Aperture Ring (Custom2 Menu, 3rd option on the screen) set to
Off. However I noticed that mine was set to On; which I might have
done when trying to use an old K mount lens a friend let me try on
my camera.

When I set it to the default value of Off, the auto focus fails to
work on the kit lenss and it can only be used in manual mode. I
didnt worry too much about this as I just left it set to On and
continued to work with it.

However when I received my new Sigma 18-200mm lens the other day it
would only work in manual mode and this proved to be the case
regardless of the setting on the Use Aperture Ring option. So I
decided to try and work out if it was the lenses or the camera.

My brother has a K10 and I checked his setting it was set to Off and
tried both my kit lens and my Sigma on it and they all worked
perfectly in the Off setting. Likewise his kit lenses behaved in the
¨odd¨ manner on my camera that mine do. Hence I decided it must be
the camera.

As  I understand it, with my rather limited knowledge; which is
basically some very quick learning from various web sites, the lens
and the camera exchange information via the contacts on the mount. 

Could any/some of these contacts be ¨messed¨ in some way so as to be
conveying incorrect information and short of trying to get Samsung
to fix this is there anything I can do/try to see if I can correct
the problem (without invalidating any warranty). I´m figurin gI´m
going to have a tough time explaining this to a help desk so just
wanted to make sure by consulting those in the know.

Many thanks

Fast compression is often done by dedicated hardware. They might not  
have the hardware for whatever the DNG standard lossless compression  
is. The code to do it might be too big or too slow for a flash  
installed firmware implementation.

I'm just glad they support producing both PEF and DNG at all.

Re: Recovery of images on SD media

Formating SD cards seems to just re-write the directory information.  PC

trouble finding the data.  You will have to supply the file type you're 
recovering and the version I'm using doesn't support PEFs so Tiff is the

Could any/some of these contacts be ¨messed¨ in some way so as to be
conveying incorrect information and short of trying to get Samsung
to fix this is there anything I can do/try to see if I can correct
the problem (without invalidating any warranty). I´m figurin gI´m
going to have a tough time explaining this to a help desk so just
wanted to make sure by consulting those in the know.


I suppose a contact could be corroded, but given the age of these cameras, I 
suspect otherwise. You can clean the contacts with a new pencil eraser, be 
careful not to let anything get inside the camera.
You could also try removing and replacing the battery, and also updating the 
firmware.
After that, you are pretty much out of options, and need to go back to the 
store for help/ warranty.

PESO - Log Revisited

[Eactivist]

Sorry, I won't have time to comment on  others' PESOs for a few days, then 
I'll catch up. I also said no new PESOs until  next week. However, this isn't a 
new one.

With a lot of time and trouble  to myself, I went out and dug an oak tree up 
and moved it about 20-30 feet into  the frame, where it had been outside it 
before. I hope you appreciate all the  laborious effort I went to. :-)

Well... it WAS on the same hill, and it  WAS about 20-30 out of the frame. 
All that is  true.

http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/log2.htm

http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/log.htm

Anyone  like this shot better now with the added oak?

I much prefer the re-do with the tree. I'd like both versions a little
better if the stack peeking over the hill to the left were moved about
30 yards down the hill..or at least out of sight. :)

PESO - Pyrrhuloxia

[Christian]

Another South Texas bird from this morning's shoot:

http://tinyurl.com/38yfr6

1/200 @ f8 ISO 100 with flash (to brighten it up on an otherwise flat 
overcast day)  500mm + 1.4x TC

This is a species I was hoping to see/photograph while I'm down here.

The web image does not do the original justice...  The detail in the 
feathers around the beak is amazing.

Comments appreciated.

Illegal?  Wasn't south Texas a part of Mexico once?  No doubt this

Good job - wish I could do half as well.  Don't see the 'nads, though.

Thanks!  I have only one shot of him from behind that shows off his

Thanks for the reply. I should have pointed out that I did try
updating the firmware (to 1.20) but that didnt help.

I had a go at cleaning the contacts - again no luck.

Guess its time to contact Samsung support - just when I was beginning
to gte used to the camera :-(

That guy was in a tree about 15ft (~4.5m) away.  This shot is almost the 
full frame.  I also use a flash extender which concentrates the beam of 
the flash and gives it a bit more reach.  It's a very effective way to 
add "pop" to an image, highlight feather detail and fill in shadows.

OT: rootbeer?

[cbwaters]

There are some of you on the list who have spoken out about brewing your own 
beers.  I've even tasted one, thanks to Bill Owens. (By the way, where is 
Bill these days? )
I have a confession to make.
I'm a 35 year-old-man and I just don't like beer.

There, I said it.

Root Beer though, I like a lot.
So I figured I could try making it.  Ya know, why not, right?

Anybody done it?  Anyone good at it?  Tips to share?  Am I off my rocker?

Natural root beer is banned by the FDA.  It's primary flavoring is 
Sassafras, (containing  safrole),which is a carcinogen.  I've made if 
using the original root but you can't buy it you'll have to collect yourself

It should be possible to obtain sassafras extract which has had the safrole 
removed. Possibly not in the USA, but I am sure I have seen it in Canada.
This looks like a decent reference:

Re: OT: rootbeer?

[P. J. Alling]

I couldn't find the recipe I used but a quick search of the web found this:

First, put 5-6 quarts of water into your favorite brew pot, and then add:

* 1 oz sarsparilla root
* 1 oz sassafras root bark*
  
* 1 oz cherry bark
* 1/2 oz licorice root
* 1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
* 1/8 oz cinnamon (about half a stick)*
  
* 2 to 4 oz raisins (you can add more if you like their flavor)
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 3 cups honey
* 1/2 cup molasses
* 4 lb sugar

Boil this mixture for a long time, until you have a 5 quarts or so of 
syrup left in your pot (remember, adding all that stuff increased your 
volume by a couple of quarts).

Once this is boiled down, strain your mixture into another pot and add:

* 1 tbsp vanilla extract
* 1 tsp wintergreen extract*
  

Stir a bit, and then bottle in 1-quart jars. This is supposed to keep 
fairly well, due to the high sugar content. To make the root beer, just 
mix 1:4 with water (one quart syrup + 4 quarts water) and carbonate.

---

This is pretty close to what I did except the stuff I made was naturally 
carbonated.  I diluted the syrup and added a package or two of brewers 
yeast, bottled and capped the liquid in sterilized reusable beer and 
soda bottles.  I let it ferment for three to four weeks.  It wasn't as 
sweet as the commercial product and was mildly alcoholic.  Pleasant to 
drink, but you need to decant it slowly to keep the sediment from 
getting in your glass.

Re: OT: rootbeer?

[P. J. Alling]

The way the FDA tests for carcinogenic compounds is completely biased.  
Firstly I believe that lab rats are prone to cancer. Beyond that, 
secondly if the amount of a compound is scaled up to human size you'd 
have to ingest a boxcar load.  I was able to find at least one citation, 
that an enzyme in rats breaks the safrole down into the actual 
carcinogen, humans don't have that enzyme.

Good. :-) 

And  thanks to Maris and Godfrey too.

Yes, I keep debating whether to remove  that stack or not. It looks sort of 
Freudian or something. The reason I haven't  removed it yet, is it is actually 
quite a ways from the other stacks in the  distance. They are part of a 
refinery plant, while it is a local landmark,  sticking up in the city of 
Concord 
(near Clayton) all by itself. Think it is  called the Cowell Tower and it is 
left from some kind of coal/smelting/lumber  plant or something.

So it identifies place, but, yeah, it definitely  looks funny.

Still debating.

This is probably a really nice photo, but I can only

How about keeping things to 600 pixels or less

Rick,

What browser are you using to view this image? This issue has been
discussed here regularly and not more than a weeks ago last time.
Generally when image files are posted as a direct link to a web
viewable image format (such as jpg) most modern browsers will auto
size the image to fit the available screen space. This is most
convenient as it provides the best of both worlds, an overall view
initially and access to detail generally at the click of the mouse
button.

If your browser doesn't behave this way you may find that there is an
option buried in the setup that enables this function. Personally I'd
prefer images were not limited to 600 pixels or even 800 vertically,
this is one of the constrains that discourages me from participating
in the PUG.

Cheers,
