Maybe they had the same reaction I had, when I was in a salvage yard looking for a used part and stumbled across the carcass of an old, (not the New GM version), SAAB 93, which was "Geez this thing looks restore-able."

Re: GESO: PHALABORWA ORCHID SHOW
With AWB you have to individually correct every image. I think I've mentioned before that I always shoot on "Daylight" white balance. The white-balance may be wrong, but when it is, all of the images from a single session are "wrong" in the same direction & same amount. Later I can easily correct them in a batch ... fix the first one in Camera Raw and apply that correction to the rest of them. May still have to correct the white-balance in a few, but not every one of them. On 9/2/2018 07:30, Alan C wrote: Thanks, Henk. I'll try that.

The way I interpret it is less about making England great again, more about relying less - not at all even - on the EU dictating what England can and cannot do. But really, if you join a club, you play by the rules right? Or you lobby to change the rules with the agreement of other players through democracy. Or you decide not to play any more. Working in the media and having access to both pro and anti advocates, I can understand both sides of the argument. What the vociferous pros and antis don't seem to realise is that there is no gain without some pain (for the benefit of the whole thing). Moderates realise this and we knuckle down and make best of it. I think I will relinquish this thread back to the OP, and go get dressed ready to pick up Godfrey from his pub bed and breakfast. We have a little sightseeing planned for today and I'm running late! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) |Live Broadcast News -- _ -- 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.

The whole process may have been actually contrary to the laws of the land? However, unpicking it could be worse IMO. The next year should be interesting !! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) |Live Broadcast News -- _ -- 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.
