I also can't see any pixellation issues using CS3.

However, opening the image in the Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4, I think
I'm seeing what you describe when viewed at 100%.  There seems to be a
definite banding type pixellation across the sky.  It's subtle, but it's
there.  I've no suggestion as to why your CS5 is showing the problem while
CS3/4 isn't.

Looking a a couple of my own 'blue sky' images, I'm not seeing the
pixellation in either CS3 or the Pentax software, although I'm using Adobe
RGB not sRGB colour space.

I wonder whether you might try Adobe RGB and see whether that makes any
difference.


Cheers

Brian

RE: Effects of quake on Japan photo industry

2011-03-16 Thread Jeffery Johnson
I know I am not the best speller in the world but this is one of the reasons
for spell check or at least a good editor.

However, due to possible meltdowns at several of Japan's nuclear reactors,
the Japanese government has instituted rolling blackouts, which are
disrupting companies even if they were not otherwise affected by the quake
or tzunami.

Other than that it was good to read that no one was seriously hurt
physically but I am sure mentally it is hard on all of them.

Grasping at straws, here.  I know you checked the monitor resolution.  
What about the refresh rate?  LCDs typically like low refresh rates - around
60hz.

RE: Damaged images

2011-03-16 Thread Tanya Love
Eric, throw your card away now before you get a whole lot of heartache from
it!  I had that exact thing happen to me with the Microdrive that I was
using in my *istD a few years back and lost two complete commercial shoots.
I had to do a mass panic ring around and download a gazillion data recovery
programs who couldn't retrieve anything.  The best quote I got was around
the $4k mark and it involved sending the card overseas to a lab that uses
microscopes and lasers to try and retrieve the lost data.  Needless to say,
I still have the card sitting here as a reminder, and had to do two
reshoots.  Cost me a bundle in the end in lost time/extra talent costs etc,
and many nights of lost sleep as I kept remembering all of the gorgeous
shots that I just knew were sitting on the card right in front of me.

Your card is on its way out, throw it out before it breaks your heart, I
reckon!

Tan.x.

 In my last shooting episode there were two images that the camera could

were two images that were unsupported or damaged.

 Should I expect this kind of thing occasionally? Or does it indicate there
may be something wrong with my camera.

Don't believe it.  No sign of a remote and, as anyone who has used one
knows, the chances of getting even one of those shots with a self-timer is
slim.

May Miss Yowayowa thrash me mercilessly if I'm wrong.  Or right.

 I think the last time this happened was just before CS4 came out.
 The fact that I've passed on Elements 8 and 9 might be a factor,
 too; Elements 7 (which is what I have) appears to be the oldest
 version that qualifies me for this offer.

In that case I'd better hurry up as CS5 is the last version for which I can get 
the upgrade price.
