No and there are two of me too!

Brian, thank you for taking the time to reply personally, no I do not consider myself a freeloader and yes the term did offend. I do not at present contribute, for the reasons above. I agree with the priciple of financial support when possiple especially for people who get a lot of use out of the site, I do not use the site much at present but may have found more time later on.

As you know I have been an active member since 2001 and I hope this counts for something in a world of petty quarels over date rate and rate attacks.

I hope this site continues to have success and irons out the problems it has faced in the last year or so, with or without me and my $25.

Thank you Patrick for the friendly WARNING, yes I am serious, I don't care for the tone taken in this thread, so I withdraw. I can then spend sometime on other more serious things, rather than the continual bleating over ratings, critiques, and the rest of the unimportant blather.

Brian Please Delete my account and all my freeloader pictures, thanks.

There are more important ways to contribute to Photo.net than just finacially, without the photographs you have no site, without the consdered comments of reviewers you have no site, without finacial support the site will struggle to provide the best service but will continue, it started as a free site and I am sure will continue to do so. In fact should it become a payed members club it will surely die or at the least dissapear to the fringes.<br>

I contributed to the running of the site for 3 years, at the moment I do not contribut for financial and time related reasons (I do not have the time to participate as full as I did before). However I am still a part of the site, and do not feel secondary to the paid members.<br>

Or do you suggest we judge the value of comments on the size if ones wallet?<br>

Should I have taken the Blue pill?

Let me out of here, one person in this thread, appears to have lost his!

Does anyone look before the shout foul, the pictures are not remotely identical.

Maybe a little TAB browsing and having both images side by side would save us from these false alarms.

Worms back in the Can then.

I have one rule which I am always breaking, never post late at night especially after a beer or 3, expressing your "True Feelings" then is like putting a very large foot in your mouth, that you only find the next morning, and spending the rest of the day trying to remove it.

All you are left with is breath like socks (sox).

Nice one, especially after all the effort that went into getting people to use the Save for Web function in PS stop the meta data corrupting the memory space of IE (did MS fix that one yet?).

Most of the exif stuff is useless and not interesting to me and I guess others, I only would like to see the ISO F-Stop and Shutter Whip the focal length maybe other stuff not important.

Worms Can Opened Of A

 

I tolerate people everyday, because they are not me they are different, and because of that the world is a more interesting place.

 

I don't want to live in a world populated my me's it would be a very strange and moody place!

LOL

The clarity of your writing will improve with the reading, nice on.

How often do I need to read it before the mysticism of your hidden intent becomes clear.

Perhaps I should rub lemon juice over my screen, and by the way I do not have a problem with the sun infact I wish there were just a little more but I am north facing so no chance.

PS. Why is this in the p.net issues forum, gremlin pls move?

You own the copyright they own the trademark, no problem until you try and make money from a trademarked brand, that is the point of tradmark and why it isn't the same as copyright, correct me if I am wrong...

No real disadvantage, but surely there should be an advantage and for the reasons given I don't see any real advantages other than telling the end user his browser/screen is to dark or to light, maybe his lights are on or the sun is in his face or or or adfinitum.

There are two account types on photo.net, on is a subscription account and the other a free account, you will have a login name and password for both.

You may upgrade to a subscription account at anytime, there are a number of advantages to doing this and they are listed here <a href="http://www.photo.net/photonet-subscriptions"> Photonet Subscripstions</a>

The choice is yours.

If you are using Photoshop CS the file viewer rotates the image for viewing in the program but not in the file, so outside of CS it will have the original orientation.

Because a gray scale ramp is only going to allow users to see a luminosity range, not wheter their gamma setting is right or whether the gray is actually gray or hued green blue or red, different monitors have different brightness contrast levels, my TFT is extremely bright and has a good range however my CRT was unable to discerne the lower and upper levels well.

Calibration can only be done correctly with fairly expensive hardware, most users will not have access to such hardware, software solutions are not very good because they rely on the users eysight and colour perception, but are better than nothing.

Most users of PCs have the colour space temperature set wrong at 9300k most professionals will have the temperature set to 6500k (daylight) or less, also the gamma on a Mac (1.8) is different to that on a PC(2.2) by default making the PC much more contrasty and the Mac flater.

So adding a little gray ramp to the web page is nothing more than false security a cosmetic solution that has little worth in reality.

The site has changes so much since the first time I logged on I have trouble keeping up.

The new style sheet for the gallery pages are very annoying but it isn't my site and I have to except the admins tastes, pity.

It is not as simple as it could be but at least it has a graphicaly low overhead, the TCL backend seems to work quiet well, and doesn't suffer from as many problems as the more complicated servlet based sites, with their continual java exceptions and quiet useless debug informaition thrown at the users browsers, no names but I know you know who I mean.

It isn't perfect but it works I just wish the interface wouldn't change quite so often ;)

Very dry very very dry, RTFM lol.

Sounds like an ad for Lada, no the car is fine sir... the light is affecting your eyesight...

Remember a Lada is for life not just christmas. (you will never sell it on!)

one is reliable but a little boring the other exciting and well, don't hit me Fiat, zippy fun but not that preditcable. I go for the tension all the time.

Actually I have had both and the old 244 volvo was the only car I ever had that made buses think twice before crossing me :)

My least favourite was a Leyland.

My favourite was a Peugeot, so I am a bit of a foriegn car fan.

I have been away for a while but came back to post something

yesterday, and to my surprise the site seems to have gone through the

body shop. Was there a major pile up was anyone badly hurt? Was the

paint job the best that could be afforded? Not only does the metal

work look different, but you seemed to have rearranged the dashboard.

I get in the car and can't find a thing, where has the bloody ashtray

gone, or is this a no smoker now. I like the idea of all the airbags

you have fitted, but really this site should be more of a Fiat than a

Volvo I liked the speed, and excitement of not knowing when the engine

will blow a gasket. Now I feel like I am driving though foam.

I wish you luck as always, even though these continuous evolutions

drive me mad, there is a reason Tabasco bottles look the same and why

it works, please don't change the paint job from white to grey or blue

or racing red I don't think I could handle the excitement.

The photo is public domain as far as I remember, it was taken by an on duty fireman, so I doubt there is a copyright issue, but it is a bit of a fraud!<p>Did you report it to the goblins?

I don't how you get this problem, the only thing I could offer would be you are working on a layer below the visible one, but as you have this problem on a single layer, I don't know. Sorry.

You are loosing data, color data as I said GIFs are only able to store 256 unique colours, while this may look ok on limited pitures, it isn't goo enough for general photography, it is intended for graphics.
