<p>"It's even less appealing to spend 10-12 hours on my feet in a day chasing bridesmaids and groomsmen around churches and hotels while carrying two 7-9 lb camera rigs. It's a job for younger people than I..."</p>

<p>I've been at <em>it</em> for over 30 years -- Photographing was only job. Way too many weddings and "backdrop-setups" at Corporate events... through the decades. <br /> But I carry one camera/one lens for a 4 hour day these days... and offer the card right from my camera if need be. Trying to retire. But I still get the occasional call .</p>

<p>Narrowed it down to second marriages only and max 30 guest. Really don't like post work ( unless I get paid by the hour ) Shoot full RAW and LRG Jpeg = give them the card -- if they want manipulations - return the card with $$ for CS work. Perfect wedding to me ;-)</p>

<p>Let the younger ones learn their craft and toil ..... Our B&G are all "destination" weddings --- never meet with them before or after //\\</p>

<p>I for one welcome the sell of only RAW images ---- When film was leaving the market > I use to shoot weddings & hand the <em>un</em>processed rolls at the end of the event. If the B&G are really on a budget - it works for me. Hand them the cards right from my camera ... hope they have some skill in CS with the images.</p>

<p>Thanks TOM ... will try a hard reset ...That should solve it ....I hope.</p>

<p>Maybe its a WIN 7 thing ?? Sure slows down our work flow >Hope we can reset .</p>

<p>Maybe its just a WIN 7 thing ?? But sure slows down my work flow ....</p>

<p><em>Try the pressing the "PrintScreen/SysReq" key .... </em>Wish we had aSysReq key :-) Must be Mac </p>

<p>The computer is not connected to the Net -- So I have shoot the screen --load the card -- CS/edit to here ...so not quick and easy. But thats what the symbols looks like -- seems that many of tools now are starting to show 3 choices on the screen > as you move the mouse across the screen trying to edit. Just like to set it back to "original". As I had stated :: never seen this before ?? A screen shot would show the CS main screen >> & these symbols would be too small to see, for sure ...</p>

<p>First time for me in all these years ?? Must be simple button to turn them off ??</p>

<p><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/estrump/extra/extra/icons/CROP_1.jpg" alt="" width="339" height="226" /></p>

<p>This is CS 4 on a WIN 7 </p>

<p>It shows the standard crop AND then the rotating crop is next AND not sure what the other figure does ??</p>

<p>SO if you try to do the standard crop tool , say on the edge of the image and are just a milometer off >> the rotating tool will engage ??</p>

<p>After nearly 18 years ... all the sudden > when I select the crop tool or magnifier < --THREE symbols appear side by side << INSTEAD of the usual ONE symbol ? Making it very difficult to select only the application we wish to use ?? Help Mr Wizard ~!</p>

<p>For me its the Dmax --- to handle that <em>not so perfect</em> neg from 25 years ago. Maybe if you could use the 120 glass holder from the Minolta Dimage and attach to a DSLR ..might be a start. </p>

<p>My 120 scanner is my bread & butter -- I have 30 years of archives that I have been continually scanning > since the first Minolta Pro was on the market. Let's hope the Plustek is as good as the Multi-Scan Pro ~!</p>

<p>Any word on the Plustek OpticFilm 120 --debut ? In the stores ..</p>

<p>We use a darkened room with a Spyder for calibration ... and the following IPS monitor http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktop-monitors/vp2365wb.htm Printing is not done in the studio ..all outsource /upload .</p>

<p>Found it -- just in a different place on the newer models ... thanks</p>

 

<p>On our 20d we could actually see only B&W on our screen ---anyway to access a app in the 60d ?</p>

<p>Most of our formals are in the Pre ... so several hours before the "Uncle Bobs" are even present ...</p>

<p>I remember the Metz and a few others > that had the available second flash on-board --- great idea. Used the 45 system for awhile. Most will walk away with a full power 200 watts blasting in their way. </p>

<p>Simply take your Norman 200c or Quantum large strobe -- place it on 1/1 > turn the strobe around to the shooters behind you... guaranteed after a few rapid blast > they will walk away :-)</p>

<p>Have camera :: will travel --</p>

<p>35 years experience ....hand-meter qualified..fully manual certified ...97% shooting percentile ... Central West Coast CA</p>

<p>Always a <em>full frame</em> as possible to a 12X8 -- unless the clients specifies a post size necessary ...</p>

<p>Have so far shot > 15 family weddings ( some included video ) all at a considerable personal economic cost ~~ time/film & travel..... once you shoot one > your expected, for ever, as a brother/uncle responsibility. :-)</p>
