Re: PESO - Retro vs. Artsy
Nice renderings, although I'm usually one for "as simple as possible" ... they get too artificial/fake looking otherwise. The retro version is more to my taste. The flash viewer you're using is interesting too.

Re: PESO - Retro vs. Artsy
Igor, plain b/w rendering with slight sepia tone that you seem to have chosen is much more to my liking. The galleries are very fascinating in presentation too.

Re: PESO - Retro vs. Artsy
Boris and Godfrey, - thanks for the comments (and everybody else for looking) Regarding the flash viewer [*], - you can find it here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2007/06/airtight_interactive_web_galle.html There are also a few galleries that you may find useful here: http://theturninggate.net/blog/?c=Lightroom Igor [*] They say one should not disclose the secrets of the magic :-) But this reminds me an old joke about an engineer (close to a physicist, isn't it?): Three men, including an engineer, were to be executed with a guillotine. The first convicted person lies down, the signal is given, the blade falls, but gets stuck mid-way. The man is released and pardoned. The guillotine is lubricated. The second one lies down, the signal is given, the blade falls, and again gets stuck mid-way. The man is released and pardoned. Again, they lubricate the guillotine. The third man, an engineer lies down, and suddenly, before the signal is given, he yells: "Stop, I know what is wrong with the guillotine!". -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
