Should arrive Sunday. Nice. It's also worthwhile investing in a UV filter for each lense you have. Primarily to prevent damage to the expensive glass in the lense. -- frag

It's good, especially for the price. I've done some great things with it. I also sometimes find it very frustrating, when it doesn't do what I expect - mostly when moving selecting areas, or not as the case often is. However, it's a pure editing program. Picasa, Photoshop, Lightroom are much more, as they can tag stuff, organise stuff and edit almost directly. Doesn't help you though. On Linux there's F-Spot as a default photo organiser, but I believe it imports all the photos, making copies, which is a bit pants. There was an article on El Reg recently going through the various Ubuntu options which might be useful. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/30/linux_versus_mac_windows_2/ Although editing photos and video is one reason I've still got XP installed on my main PC.

NO "e" on the end of it, that's only added when pluralising. Gah! Bleedin' zimmer gimmers! -- SIRPip : B12 |
