I have to admit that was precisely the though that occurred to me; why would I want to go to the trouble of making and using an actual physical device when a simple digital image manipulation could do a far better job (and also do some similar things which aren't as easy do do with an actual device). Not that I'm trying to belittle Larry's achievement - I'm just saying that the whole idea just doesn't appeal to me personally in any way. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
