All,

Thank you so much.

I did try custom settings - 2880 dpi and the lines disappeared!

Stupid default settings for the printer driver - I assumed that

by selecting the paper I was selecting proper settings.

Well, I learned something today.

I am out of ink now - will buy some more and will continue my experiments.

Thanks again.

Leon

Printer setting.

There's not much to set:

select proper paper type - sets it to 720 dpi

set to color and automatic, select 'Epson natural Color'

Bear with me I am new to printing ;-)

All,

I printed image taken with Canon A60 at maximum resolution and

lowest compression. I printed it on Epson Photo 780 using Premium

Glossy Photo paper.

On the print I see horizontal lines - why? Is it expected?

(I changed the ink - same result).

I attach a scan made at 300 dpi on Epson Perfection 1640.

The lines are clearly visible on the scan/print, but not on the

original image from the camera.

All,

I am relatively new to Digital - I played with some simple cameras

in the last few years. In the film world I shoot Canon A5, Yashica T4

and some Russian fully manual Zenits.

Now to my question.

I have Canon Powershot A60 to play with.

I am not satisfied with sharpness of the images I get...

Here's a crop of an eye taken with autofocus on and flash, largest

file available on the camera (2MP) and SuperFine compression (lowest

compression available).

I adjusted contrast in PS and run Sharpen filter on it.

Is is camera's limit(focusing ability) or I can improve it somehow

with PS (which I am not an expert with...)???

Thanks all,

See my answer to the similar topic - bit newer.

Just read the article by Bob Atkinson on his web site.

He reviewed those lenses.

<p>

I went thru the same process of chosing a while ago and

got 100-300/5.6L for ~300$ from BHphotovideo.com

<p>

I don't care much about fast autofocus coming with USm, but

optically this lens is the BEST in x-300 range (non-pro).

All,

<p>

I have the above lens and like it, but it's quite heavy

and I'd like to fit it with tripod collar (mount ring).

<p>

I don't like to haul around heavy tripod with heavy head,

thus the need for better balance.

<p>

I know there's no collar manufactured specifically for this

lens, at least not by Canon.

<p>

I think I read somewhere that some older collars can be fitted?

Any advise will be appreciated.

<p>
