I've done that though... Carry around my camera at say...an art fair and never really take any pictures. Some of it is not wanting to look like a dork, some is never really seeing anything that I want to shoot, some may be that I'm with my family who have little patience for my walking around

Interesting perspective, Godders. I've never felt encumbered by equipment, but I've learned to take no more than I need for the task at hand. For a walkaround, it's always one lens and a camera. And I have to admit that my Leica was perfect for that role. But film is itself an encumbrance.

If you're printing with PS CS, the directions for advanced printing in Epson's 2400 manual work perfectly on a Mac. They would probably work with elements as well. CS2 parameters are slightly different. Paul On Mar 22, 2007, at 8:09 AM, David J Brooks wrote: Sorry for the late replies to
