<p>From that link you posted, I quote<br>

"For selected printers, both <a href="http://www.hp.com/products1/ISO/MMDPP/index.html" target="_blank">HP</a> and <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/app/pdf/PrintSpeed/ISO_standard.pdf" target="_blank">Canon</a> calculate ipm by counting <strong>number of pages printed during a Medium Job minus four, and then dividing that by the time measured under the ESAT method</strong> for Excel, Word and Adobe each. The three speeds can then be reported individually, or averaged out and reported as an overall print speed. Here’s an example of calculating ipm under the ESAT method for a Medium Job:<br>

Let’s say that during the testing time frame for each test file (i.e. 4 pages printed plus another 30 seconds of printing), the tested printer rolls out the following page amounts: Adobe test file prints 10 pages, Word prints 12 pages, and Excel prints 14 pages. To calculate the ipm for the Adobe file, you would take the 10 pages, subtract 4, and divide by 0.5 minutes (i.e. 30 seconds) to get <strong>12 ipm</strong>. For Word, you take the 12 pages, subtract 4, and divide by 0.5 minutes to get <strong>16 ipm</strong>. Finally, for Excel, you take the 14 pages, subtract 4, and divide by 0.5 minutes to get <strong>20 ipm</strong>. To get the overall ipm, you would take the average of 12, 16 and 20 to get <strong>16 ipm</strong>."</p>

<p>Now, I don't know about you, but using something so goddamn hard to figure out is not exactly the most palatable thing for a consumer. Rather than getting out my old GCSE maths book from school, I'd rather just go into a shop, understand that the printer will take roughly x minutes to print x pages. If you can do the math here for me then I can just continue to be a happy consumer. please? Xxx</p>

<p>OK. I'm terrible at maths though. Can you tell me what 9ipm and 12 ipm is in pages a minute? There is some formula on there but I really am shit with maths.</p>

<p>Hi there. I'm looking for a new printer now as I gave my previous one to my mum to replace her old dinosaur. I own a 5D Mark 2 and wanted to find a decent Canon photo printer that will make nice prints. HOWEVER: I mainly print documents, and want to find a photo printer that prints DOCUMENTS fast. But how do I determine the speed? The Canon PIXMA MP640 has numerous positive reviews on Amazon UK for printing photos. Great. But I I want to figure out how fast it is printing text on mono draft setting. My previous printer (HP Photosmart C7280) had a PPM (pages per minute) of 33 in mono draft mode for documents. This was awesome. I'm checking out the Canon Pixma MP640, and its print speed is listed as 9.2 IPM (inches per minute). What does this refer to? Photos, or text? How does this compare to PPM? Why don't manufacturers use PPM across the board, it seems much easier to understand. I think in terms of how many pages my printer has printed, not how many inches it's printed... Help gratiously sought... thanks</p>

<p>I mean in Photoshop's save to web feature and outside of the program in browsers etc.</p>

<p>Hey. I'm using Photoshop - saving to web seems to wash out colours.<br>

I just found out about the sRGB problem here:<br>

http://www.creativepro.com/article/tips-for-managing-web-color-in-photoshop<br>

So I have changed via edit/colour settings the workspace to North America Web/internet and sRGB. I have then also tried converting the PSD file to an sRGB profile, and then also setting the save settings in Save to Web to Convert to sRGB but still, after all these steps, no luck; it still seems washed out in Save to Web....<br>

Anything else I can try? <br>

Thanks in advance!</p>

 

<p>Thanks guys. Any advice on Syria specifically? that old component of dubya's 'axis of evil'. They gonna lock me up for using my camera? (haw haw)</p>

<p>Dear All<br>

I am going on a tour of the Middle East, and am somewhat ignorant and hence concerned about camera etiquette in these countries. I recently returned from China which was an incredibly safe place for a camera (nobody would dare try to steal it because they feared the state). I could take photographs of anybody I wanted to without their permission (even their children - if you did that in England people would think you were a paedophile).<br>

I'm guessing it's not like this in the countries listed here. I recall people would go insane in Morocco if you took a photo without their permission. I have heard that in these middle eastern countries taking photographs of women is prohibited. If anybody could give me a heads up on camera safety (theft risk, when not to have it out, etiquette with portraits and people), this would be very much valued.<br>

<p>When I ask for a critique, I'm not looking for praise without at least as much criticism. If someone could rip my images to shreds I would actually love it. I don't do it for the glory.<br>

Kelly, I was simply trying to get an answer for how to utilise and maximise the free aspects of the site, <i>as was publicised on the site itself.</i> This was something that photo.net had stated - that so long as one contributes to the site in terms of work and critique, then one would have enough upload credits. <i>This was part of their business model.</i> I operated in this system before the new rules were brought in, and enjoyed it. It seemed fair to me. I spent my time contributing critiques to the community, I got some back.<br>

I asked a question about how to utilise these free components of the site, nobody answered, and then it was realised that there was a clash of systems here - the stated system, which was outdated, and the system in practice. This has now been resolved. I've subscribed, uploaded a new set, made 16 critiques today alone, and have a big fat '7' next to my name, just like you. I can still see ads though. Feel free to check out my images.</p>

 

<p>Dear All<br>

I hope this is in the right forum. Can you guys tell me what size you upload your shots at? I've just uploaded a folder's worth of shots (please critique) and am wondering if they are too large for various reasons (900px at the longest end). Firstly, users have to scroll (at least I do on my 15'' Macbook), and obviously if one can't view the entire photo at once then that's certainly not ideal. Second, I'm guessing at the size they are, they might be vulnerable to theft; being a pessimistic devils advocate here, say if startup photo archives (or smaller fish) are prowling around for free content. Is there a way to create a smaller initial image for people to see, and the full version that they can click through to if desired, hence solving the first problem? (The 'landscape' orientated images seem to have this feature, whereas the 'portrait' orientated ones don't). I'm not saying that my images are particularly desirable, just airing a concern that I'm sure most people have at some time or another. Finally - what do you think about watermarks in the corners of photos? A necessary evil? What kind of watermark would you recommend - is mine okay?<br>

Thanks very much!</p>

<p>Of course you are, Bob. Thanks for checking out my portfolio and participating in the community.</p>

<p>Bob, stop stalking me. And I've subscribed now, happy? Fancy critiquing my work?</p>

<p>You never said that it didn't apply, just that it was a bit anachronistic. OK, thanks for clarifying, now you can't be accused of double standards. You did waffle on about how much the site costs to run, however. That's superfluous, predictable and repetitive.</p>

<p>Dear all,<br>

I came across myshutterspace.com and was intrigued by the concept of a photographic social networking site. However, it only has 7000 members worldwide, and only 100 in my home town - London! I'm wondering if there are any that are more widely used than this. Please let me know.<br>

In addition, I am wondering if anybody can recommend a free alternative to this website, something that does not cost but has a similar usership and contribution. </p>

<p>Recap. My original question was about how to make the "submit all photos for critique - always have enough quota to upload a few more" principle work in practice, as well as how to get more upload credits for my critiques, without paying any more than has already been paid by granting photo.net an unlimited license to my work, which is payment enough. This original post has not been answered, therefore, all the other posts have failed. I politely request, again, that posters do not reply unless they can answer my question.<br>

In addition to the original question (which still needs answering, if you would be so kind) - Pascale, can you tell me which 100% free sites you have used? (without extolling the widely publicised virtues of photo.net)<br>

Thanks<br>

<p>I was hoping that someone else might respond. It's obvious you and your friends want my money. That's not informative to me. You pay if you want to, this user's not for paying. And neither are many, if not most, people who use this site. The point is, I've contributed as many photos as I can to the site, as well as numerous critiques, and I am happy to contribute more, even though by uploading these photographs, Photo.net gets <b>"a perpetual non-exclusive world-wide royalty-free license to modify, publish and reproduce that material for the purpose of operating, displaying, distributing and promoting photo.net"</b>. If I'm giving photo.net what amounts to an unlimited license to my own work for free, I think that is payment enough, and I certainly don't expect to have to make a further, pecuniary sacrifice as well. That would be, as we say in England, taking the piss. </p>

<p>Anyway, back to the point at hand: the website actually says that for the benefit of non-paying users like myself, and I repeat for your attention, <b>"In general, if you submit all of your photos for critique in the Critique Forum, you will always have enough quota to upload a few more."</b> That has nothing to do with paid for service. I want to know how to make this work in practice, as well as get more upload credits for my critiques. Please only respond if you respect this commonly held objective.</p>

<p>Dear all,<br>

I used to use this site back in 2003, but took a hiatus and am now back in the game. Some things appear to have changed, though, or maybe they haven't, correct me if I'm wrong. I seem to recall that there wasn't an upward restriction on amount of images one could upload. I might be wrong, though. Anyhow, what's happened is that now I can't upload any more. The website says: "In general, if you submit all of your photos for critique in the Critique Forum, you will always have enough quota to upload a few more." I would like to upload more for critique, but obviously can't. I don't want to delete the other stuff, as it's rather good and has quite a lot of comments etc. I don't want to subscribe because I'm not rich and I don't want to make anyone else rich. What do you suggest? <br>

Aaron<br>

PS I understand that if I write photo critiques I can get more credits but the extent to which I would need to in order to get more is not really transparent.</p>

<p>Yeah. I think it's pretty suspect that you can't delete your account. Sorry about that.</p>

<p>well login to facebook then, and then click on them!</p>

<p>Dear All<br>

First of all I am wondering if anyone can recommend any decent locations to take photographs of Shanghai off the beaten track, mainly for portraiture and architectural interest. I've already done the standard locations such as these here, I don't know what they're called, though:<br>

I've been to the Moganshan Lu area and taken some great photos of graffiti artists... I would like to find a poor district where they won't nick my camera and let me photograph their children...<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>Hey guys, I want to insure £3,000 of equipment for going on holiday - all risk. I'm not a professional and will be going to different parts of the world this year. Can anyone recommend anyone decent from first hand experience? I live in the UK.</p>

 

</p>

<p>Glad to be the catalyst for what will remain a relevant and interesting topic for years to come.<br>

I'm still waiting to receive my 5DMk2 with 24-105 and will let you know my thoughts once I give it a good go!</p>

<p>I've been trying to get hold of this with the lens, and can't seem to find any dealers who have it in stock for a REASONABLE price (2,6 or lower). There are slightly more reasonably priced bodies in stock for £2k but to buy a lens separately would mean spending more money, near to another grand. So - if any of you folks have any tips on dealers with a legit camera and lens kit in the UK, I would be much obliged, especially as I hear that the next batch are going to go up in price due to our ailing economic climate.</p>

<p>OK I want to buy a lens for a 5D Mk2. I can either buy the body alone or get a bundle with the 24-104 f/4 however it's hard to find it with the lens. I've also been told that the 24-70 f/2.8 is better - what do you guys think?</p>

My Sony PD170's Video out socket (yellow) aint working. Nothing

coming from it. S video and red and white audio are fine. Does anyone

know what the problem could be, and how long it could take to fix?

thanks a lot for your responses guys!
