AFAIK, the human eye does not alter its focal length by changing it's shape. It doesn't alter it's focal length at all! Unless I'm in the minority in being unable to zoom in and out. g I guess they meant focus? Or maybe they meant that (no matter what the human eye does) their lenses will

thermal noise will cause pixels to be bright enough to seem like a hot pixel on a long enough exposure. dark field subtraction can remove only pixels that hot in the dark field. if the actual exposure has bright pixels different from the dark field, they will remain. Photoshop can detect these and

Fellow biker Frank, Yes, I also got annoyed at not getting in to photo.net. Last week, a post by Jens Bladt took me to http://fotopic.net/ It looks alright, or maybe even good, as they are lots of customising stuff. I registered for an account, but haven't yet made any use of it. Good luck,

there are other pixels coming through bright enough to register as hot because of thermal noise. note that the test program is using a pretty liberal definition of hot. thermal noise can be pretty high on some sensors. look at the actual TIFF image and see just how bright they are. it takes some
