Re: Computer (software) help needed.
2011/2/6 mike wilson m.9.wil...@ntlworld.com: I use Netscape 7.2 for the mail application. I already had the installer file but, when I installed it, I could not get the programme to start. Downloaded a new version of the installer and the same problem. It installs with no difficulty but will not react to clicking on the desktop shortcut or going to the .exe file and directly clicking on that. That sounds like a security issue. Microsoft added a layer of precaution against downloaded executables at some point which may well have been XP SP3. You can check if this is an issue with your .exe by right-clicking it in Explorer and choose properties. On one of the tabs (possibly the one you open by default) there will be an explanation about downloaded files being potentially harmful and bla-bla, but also a button that allows you to clear it of the quarantine. You may have to restart your system afterwards. But as the others have said, you're probably better off with T'bird.

Re: Protesting global warming
2011/2/6 Daniel J. Matyola danmaty...@gmail.com: Wonderful! BTW, there is no such thing as global warming. It is more correctly referred to a climate change, and more that warming the entire planet, it is bringing us more extreme weather of all types. If we keep calling it global warming, people suffering from unusual cold and extreme snows fall to connect what is happening to them with the world-wide changes affecting us all. Funny pic, but tragic how little it takes to stir the climate trolls, eh? I woke up too. :-) I agree we have a terminology problem. Climate change is too big an issue to fit into a tabloid mind.

Re: Protesting global warming
2011/2/6 P. J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com: The climate changes, it has been for the entire time life has been on earth. We, and all other life, adapt, or die. That is a statement bereft of empathy. It is also a misunderstanding of how natural selection works. When an abrubt change in climate occurs, the general case seems to be extinction followed by spreading of other organisms into vacant niches. So life will adapt, but not necessarily we. Even as one of the most successful species ever, in terms of flexibility in our requirements to the environment. The crap factor, bovine or otherwise, is just as high with the deniers of climate change than with the alarmists. Sadly.

Those are the numbers but not sure of the correct terminology,i do not have the system running now. It then said to set the screen to default brightness and contrast. I don't see a place to set contrast but i set the brightness to full as that's were it was when i got the machine. I set up the unit for Mac and LCD. it ran through its red greens and blues and checked for wb etc. i tried the test print again and its still darker than the screen via LR3. If i set the brightness to 5-6 clicks below the fullest reading, i get fairly close to the print on screen. I looked at the test print on my iBook, which gives me something very very close to the PC, it looks like it should with proper brightness on the pinks and cream colours. Should i just set the brightness to -5 and go from there.?? I see no one yet has brought up a way to set the monitor brightness below what the F14/F15 keys allow you to dim the display. My room is dimly lit. The iMac monitor is too bright to even look at at full intensity. So I set brightness to the lowest setting, then use a program called Dark Adapted which goes into your graphic card brightness adjustments. This allows me to dim the monitor to 50 to 100 % of the monitor's lowest brightness control setting. I keep mine at 60% all the time. If you turn off the computer, when it comes back on, the monitor brightness will go back to full, so it must be set again with the keyboard, or in preferences. But the Dark Adapted slider control that sits up on your menu bar, will remain at 60% (in my case). Does not work all that well on Laptops, but they tend to be less bright anyway. There is a set up screen where you sit your brightness so that you can discern between the two darkest blocks on a stepped scale, while keeping the two whitest block defined as well.

I'm trying to get my own system color-managed, but I've seen conflicting answers... for calibrating the monitor, should my room be illuminated to a reasonable reading level, or as dark as possible as long as you can still operate the controls on your monitor (http://www.robertstech.com/blog/?p=64!) ..? Then, once we're all calibrated editing is underway, how should the room be lit? The same way as for calibrating? I'm guessing that the main goal would be consistency in the ambient light... and that it be consistently daylight-balanced? What about daytime vs nighttime editing...? The crux of the matter is your eyes. All the calibration in the world does no good at all if your eyes are working in the wrong environment. Quoting from my own article Color Management Can Be Simple – ::: There are three calibration target parameters of importance: - brightness or luminance :: the brightness of the display - gamma :: the contrast curve you want to display to follow, normally 2.2 or 1.8. - white point :: what color temperature is considered white. Sunlight is more blue than indoor room light, so white in sunlight has a higher color temperature than white in an indoor space illuminated by warm- white tungsten or flourescent bulbs. Display brightness has to be matched to reasonable ambient light in your workspace for best results ... this is very important as it affects how your eyes see color and brightness. *Reasonable ambient* light means normal reading/working illumination without direct sunlight or other high intensity light sources falling on the monitor, not a black cave. E.g.: My work room light is provided by a pair of 60W equivalent bulbs in a soft overhead light, supplemented by light filtering in around mostly closed blinds during daylight hours. A meter reading off the wall beside my desk shows ISO 100 @ f/4 @ 1/5 second, just to give you an idea how bright it is. I shade the windows tightly during the day to minimize the amount of sunlight coming in so the room light is stable day and night. For this environment with an Apple Cinema Display 23 display, my targets for calibration are 120 cdM^2 luminance, 1.8 gamma, and white point of 5500K. The current industry standard settings would be cooler white and higher contrast: 120 luminance, 2.2 gamma and 6500K white point are also reasonable. (I prefer the warmer white and softer gamma as it matches my printing and exhibition needs more closely.) ::: I've had thousands of hits on that article and some well-known experts in the field have vetted that it is exactly right, what they recommend and set up in their own labs. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- 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. -- 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: Protesting global warming
From: AlunFoto 2011/2/6 Daniel J. Matyola danmaty...@gmail.com: Wonderful! BTW, there is no such thing as global warming. ?It is more correctly referred to a climate change, and more that warming the entire planet, it is bringing us more extreme weather of all types. ?If we keep calling it global warming, people suffering from unusual cold and extreme snows fall to connect what is happening to them with the world-wide changes affecting us all. Funny pic, but tragic how little it takes to stir the climate trolls, eh? I woke up too. :-) I agree we have a terminology problem. Climate change is too big an issue to fit into a tabloid mind. Sadly, there are too many people these days unable to rise above that format. Jostein Probably botch this up, but ...

Re: OT Screen brightness or print problem

My room is dimly lit. The iMac monitor is too bright to even look at at full intensity. So I set brightness to the lowest setting, then use a program called Dark Adapted which goes into your graphic card brightness adjustments. This allows me to dim the monitor to 50 to 100 % of the monitor's lowest brightness control setting. I keep mine at 60% all the time. If you turn off the computer, when it comes back on, the monitor brightness will go back to full, so it must be set again with the keyboard, or in preferences. But the Dark Adapted slider control that sits up on your menu bar, will remain at 60% (in my case). Does not work all that well on Laptops, but they tend to be less bright anyway. There is a set up screen where you sit your brightness so that you can discern between the two darkest blocks on a stepped scale, while keeping the two whitest block defined as well. Dave's new iMac has a lot more adjustability than the previous generation iMac's did in this regard. The iMac 24 were particularly difficult in this regard. But the easier solution than installing all these system add ones is to simply raise the light level in the room. You cannot adjust tonal values and colors properly with your eyes dark-adapted to ambient illumination below a reasonable reading illumination level.

Making a selection for The Book
The last two years I worked on my own to select images to be considered for inclusion in the PDML Annual. (http://www.robertstech.com/pdmlbook/pdmlbook.php) This year I took a slightly different approach - I narrowed my selection down to 6 images and then asked for others' opinions. The two judges were Meg and her niece Mary (who just happened to pass through this morning to use our internet connection). I went with their consensus on the top 3. The three which were not selected are here: http://smhalpin.posterous.com I probably would have sent in the barbecue shot but neither of them particularly liked it; Mary at first selected that one but then realized it was hamburger rather than ribs. stan -- 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.

missed focus on dance portraits
I'm going through my dance portraits from Saturday night, and I'm finding a lot where the K20 missed focus. I was mostly shooting with the 16-50 on the K20, at about f/6.3. I could have cranked the strobe up higher, but I didn't want my home depot backdrop to also be in perfect focus. There was one batch where the back of the leader's sweater was in focus, but the dancers faces were just slightly soft. I don't know if this was mis focused on the sweater, or just a blown focus where DoF still caught the sweater, because there are others where everything is sharp. I've got a bunch more that are simply blown focus. It could simply be pilot error because when people are dancing I lock focus, and hit the focus lock so that the shutter will activate when I press it. I'm afraid that I don't trust the responsiveness of the autofocus, and may be screwing myself up there. I expect that the problem is a team effort between the camera and myself, exacerbated by my not trusting because the focus is slow and perhaps a bit unreliable. Or, as a wise man once said, Aaarrgggh. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.

He's a Samoyed; a Nordic breed originally used to pull sleds, herd reindeer, hunt walruses and polar bears and a companion to keep its human family warm during the cold Siberian winters. Males get to about 23in tall and weigh up to 60lbs (that's like 1.5m tall and 234kg according to my web-based real-measurements-to-fancy-euro-scale converter.

Going through that process with all my most-used glass improved the sharpness of my subsequent shots. Have you tried AF-C? No I haven't. I probably should. With moving objects I'd never try to use focus lock, myself. I'd just turn off AF altogether. They aren't really moving that much, sometimes not at all. And, of course, the focus is close enough that on the camera screen it looks fine. Hoo boy! On the rear screen *everything* looks fine. I've learned to completely distrust that, except for the histogram. I have preview off by default and incidentally that also speeds up shooting enormously. The K20 is more responsive without having to produce previews, and I'm much less tempted to chimp, so *I'm* more responsive. The only way I can judge focus from the rear screen is to put on my glasses and crank the magnification up about as high as it'll go. All that trouble means I rarely do it unless, eg, I'm doing portraiture and I need to know if I need a few more shots in a given pose. -bmw -- 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: missed focus on dance portraits
From: Larry Colen I'm going through my dance portraits from Saturday night, and I'm finding a lot where the K20 missed focus. I was mostly shooting with the 16-50 on the K20, at about f/6.3. I could have cranked the strobe up higher, but I didn't want my home depot backdrop to also be in perfect focus. There was one batch where the back of the leader's sweater was in focus, but the dancers faces were just slightly soft. I don't know if this was mis focused on the sweater, or just a blown focus where DoF still caught the sweater, because there are others where everything is sharp. I've got a bunch more that are simply blown focus. It could simply be pilot error because when people are dancing I lock focus, and hit the focus lock so that the shutter will activate when I press it. I'm afraid that I don't trust the responsiveness of the autofocus, and may be screwing myself up there. I expect that the problem is a team effort between the camera and myself, exacerbated by my not trusting because the focus is slow and perhaps a bit unreliable. Or, as a wise man once said, Aaarrgggh. Something like this I'd probably go with what I call a zone focus, setting it up so the near and far limits of the D.O.F. bracket the dancers and not even try focusing on the individual couples. That used to be pretty easy to do with manual focus lenses that had D.O.F. scales. - No virus found in this message.

PDML Annual
Making some progress. Went through my work in 2010 and have identified 10 images of 7 different subjects I think are worth submitting. Shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down to three. I have two subjects that are definitely in, just have to choose which of the three treatments of the first subject is going to be THE one. The second subject only has one image, making for an easy choice. Still have to choose from the remaining 5 subjects for the third submission. - No virus found in this message.
