Lightroom question
All right, this has been driving me bonkers and I can't find an answer... How do I change the default sort order in Lightroom? Every time I import a directory of files it sorts the images by capture time and I have to *manually* change it to sort by file name. What's worse is when I'm in a hurry and forget to do this there doesn't seem to be a way to change groups of directories in one go: I've just spent half an hour going through previously imported directories and correcting the sort order manually - one at a time. It's infuriating and I know there has to be an easier way. -- 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: OT: Interesting PMA numbers
- Original Message - From: Mark Roberts Subject: Re: OT: Interesting PMA numbers Agreed. It was a good alternative (well, E6 was) and it was, in fact, how I worked. But it was never more than a tiny minority of mainstream film users (even if you include E6 as well). And by the time Fuji Frontier and similar machines printing from slides fast and commonplace, the digital nails were already in the film coffin. Interestingly, it took digital technology (scanning) to allow minilabs to print from slides in the first place. The first couple of generations of digital photolabs had film printing in mind, but the more recent ones treat film more like a retarded step child.

Stitching the Unstitchable
Howdy, folks, At a recent race, I got several sequences of shots with reasonable (~30%) overlap. It occurred to me that they might look interesting if pasted together into a temporal panorama. Is this something that conventional stitching software might be able to do, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and do it manually? These sequences were shot on a K10D, either handheld with a 200 or 300 mm lens or on a monopod with a 400, and, obviously, panning. I'm guessing that setting up the registration might be an issue for the common stitching software. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- 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: PESO - The Grand
The unfortunate side effect of cropping the amp stack will be either losing the background Hindu head if you want to keep a rectangular format or squaring up the format if you want to save the background (cropping just the right edge leaves the image unbalanced, and you'd need to crop a little from the left to compensate). I don't think this shot is served by a squarer format, which tends to be more serene and out of character with the excitement of the performance. Or you could keep the format intact and clone out the amps, if you're feeling clever.

Re: PESO: Near the Reichstag
Thanks, Charles! I had never been in Berlin before. My wife was last there in January 1982, to do research for her PhD dissertation in history in the archive in East Berlin. She had to stay in the west, and every day took the UBahn through the checkpoints and past the submachine gun-toting guards twice a day. She only had to stay two weeks, though. She was amazed on this recent trip.

RE: Newbie - Quest about batteries
Hi. Welcome. I'm usually a lurker, but I help you with this one. I use Spotmatics a lot. I'll assume that you have an original Spotmatic, not a Spotmatic F. (Spotmatic F are clearly marked Spotmatic F on the top plate.) The original Spotmatic battery was the VX400, a mercury battery that was discontinued 5 or 10 years ago for environmental reasons. The most common replacement is made by a company called Wein, and is a modified hearing aid battery. They show up regularly on EBay and can be ordered from most major camera shops online. The work but don't last very long. A better bet is the S400PX, a silver oxide battery. It's pretty hard to find, but I was able to special order some via the Canadian Radio Shack equivalent recently. There are a number of workarounds involving adaptations of silver oxide button cells. For information on those, you should check out the Yahoo Spotmatic group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Spotmatic/ There's good info in that group's Files section. It's a good group, although not particularly active these days. Cheers John Poirier -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John E.

Re: Newbie - Quest about batteries
The original batteries were a mercury cell of 1.35 volts. Due to the design of the Pentax meters you can probably get a silver oxide s625px or alkaline lr9/px625a battery which should give accurate meter readings in spite of the difference in voltages. The only operational difference I've noticed is that the Mercury batteries last nearly forever. John E.

RE: Newbie - Quest about batteries
Actually I might have made an error with this. I picked up a battery for the Spotmatic a year or so ago at a local camera shop and I assumed it was the Varta. But, thinking back, it was probably the Energizer. The Varta came in a Spotmatic I bought recently and it's probably a mercury battery.
