I've been thinking I would get 1 video card with dual DVI output to support two monitors of the same brand and model. The thought just occured to me though, when profiling/calibrating, will one video card be the right path to take, or would I need two video cards so that each knows about calibration for a given display? Hope the question is intelligent. As I understand it you don't need 2 cards if they are PCI-Express. If they're PCI or AGP they can't load more than 1 profile at a time.

I'm in the process of upograding my own box and am considering an ASUS motherboard with SLi - two graphics cards running simultaneously. This is, of course, designed for gaming but I am thinking that I might be able to run them at a much lower intensity and use a silent cooling system. Anyone got any thoughts about that? The new ASUS boards are quite nice. They are doing all sorts of things to get passive cooling to keep fan noise down. The SLI boards are getting good reports, and aren't killer expensive. I can get an early one for £30. 8-))) I'm heading that way as they seem to have provision for IDE as well as sata drives. As I have a HDD and DVDRW that are virtually brand new and one more of each that are only slightly older, I'm reluctant to head down the totally SATA route at the moment. I reason that a £30 MB and an equivalent processor is going to bump up performance by a factor of about four. I can then add drives as they fail and change MB once I am totally switched to SATA. Just looking for the quietest solution, now. The higher end ASUS boards will also support 8 SATA devices, and dual RAID and that sort of thing. I bit the bullet and am having another HD put into the new rig. The tech is splitting the C drive into a striped array, and then putting 2 drives onto a mirrored array for back up. He figures that that, along with the I-Ram will make the machine pretty responsive. Do get a well designed case though. I paid almost as much for my case as I did for the motherboard, but it has 2 great big fans that move a lot of air without a lot of noise, and good sound baffling built in. My new computer is about 1/3 the noise of the one I am replacing it with, and I'm sure that most of that is becaue of the good case. If you want a really quiet machine, you can get liquid cooling systems for graphics cards as well as the CPU and memory. You can put the radiator and fan in another room if you so choose. I realize this says nothing about dual video cards. I'm thinking that two fans are probably going to make more noise than one though. My hope is that, not using them to their full capability, I might be able to get away with a fanless or low noise cooling system for them. The new MB will also allow mer to make use of the newish power supply's noise reducing features, too. I'm making my own case from a derelict one from work. As it's going to have a (gasp!) designed airflow, I thought it might look good in British Racing Green. My next door neighbour builds cutting-edge-spec gaming machines for people with loads of money. I'll be getting plenty of castoffs like low-section data cables (I'm not having _blue_ ones!) to help fufil my aims. - Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Lightroom : Help With Performance Tuning
I am having issues with Lightroom performance specifically in the develop module. When I open an image and zoom to 1:1 it takes about 5-10 seconds for the image to change from the highly pixellated preview to the proper 1:1 view. This would not be so bad if this did not happen every time I pan around the image. Although the machine is not the latest and hottest it is quite well spec'd 3.4GHZ w/Hyperthreading 1GB ram The image folders and the lightroom library are on separate hard disks with the lightroom library residing on a dedicated drive. The windows swap file is on yet another separate hard disk in its own partition. For all other apps including photoshop the machine flies. and I've apllied numerous XP tweaks that have improved performance but this issue with LR has me at my wits end.. The LR library is approaching 9000 images. All have 1:1 previews built.

PESO: Abandoned - Take 2
Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions on this image. Most comments thought that the colours in the image were over-saturated. The colours *are* strong, but that's due to the rusty tones and the very warm, late afternoon light. I'm not adverse to nudging the saturation from time to time but this image didn't receive any extra. Of course the image might benefit from a slightly less saturated rendering so the link below has a version with a 10% reduction (and I took a bit of blue out of the sky as well). I have to say I still prefer the original which is more like I remember the scene, and which is also shown for comparison: http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/Abandoned/index.html Also on this page is a black and white rendering - something suggested by Dave Brooks. It seems to have possibilities but I haven't nailed it yet and I'm not sure exactly where to go with it. The distracting background was also mentioned. It was difficult to get the right angle with this image. There was a road sign and an old shack that I was trying to conceal. There was also a large, hyperactive hound behind a not very substantial fence about 50 metres away so, bugger the background, I was a bit distracted as well... :-) Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney, Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ http://www.blognow.com.au/peso1/ http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/brianwalters -- Free pop3 email with a spam filter. http://www.bluebottle.com/tag/5 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

RE: Pentax SMC DA* 16-50mm f/2.8 ED AL IF - is it really worth 1000 USD?
Hi Jens, I have not used the lens yet, but ordered it yesterday from my local shop. Should arrive in two weeks and the price was more than 60 euro less than the lowest I've seen in mail order for example from Germany (with shipping the real difference is more than 80). The local shop really surprises me at times... on the other hand the K10D is about 150 euro more locally than mail order. I've heard nothing but good things about this lens and it seems to be constantly sold out everywhere.

Walt - There should be a folder on your PSE5 disk called Goodies - check there. Don't know what you bought for a new monitor, but I understand Adobe Gamma is not compliant w/an LCD and won't install. You might want to invest in a colorimeter.

Re: PESO: Abandoned - Take 2
The contrast seems a bit high on the BW. Try using the equivalent of a green or Maybe yellow filter on the initial conversion then try a little less contrast.

Of course the image might benefit from a slightly less saturated rendering so the link below has a version with a 10% reduction (and I took a bit of blue out of the sky as well).

His field setup (shoots of political and sports folks where you get no time to work) transferred the JPEG to the laptop screen so he could see at a glance what an exposure captured ... both lighting and expresion... quickly, without squinting into the LCD and distracting the subject. The subject could also see the exposure, if the photographer chose to set it up that way, and react to it which generated yet more options... It looks useful, in other words.

Re: Sigma DC 3.5-5-6 18-50mm against Pentax DA 3.5-5.6 18-55 mm.
The sigma has much more noticable vignetting. And sharpening does wonders.

Re: For those who miss CaNikon's Wifi capabilities
You're correct of course, for most people it really doesn't matter. It would however speed the transfer of images in the instance that one must keep working while shooting (I presume). For most people the attraction is the same convenience as having your laptop or mobile device wifi-enabled. No cords or not having to remove the card. Tom C.

Re: For those who miss CaNikon's Wifi capabilities
The first example I saw of field photographers phoning an image in was at the Chicago Marathon some 4-5 years ago. We were a good 15 miles into the course and the audience along the route was sparse. A Japanese guy (maybe two) had a laptop open on the curb with a short cable to their cell phone (also on the curb) sending images of the elite runners back to someone who was a long way away. The set-up was clumsy, but told you what was possible. Instant coverage. Regards, Bob S.
