Lee, a quick check with B&H photo in NY, a very reputable house has their price about 50% below reality. What do you think?

 

Somebody had a saying once, something like if its too good to be true... etc ...

Just a guess but I think Chris probably means PS Elements 4.0 not PS.

Allen the "best" is always subjective. Don't expect a final answer. Ask yourself what you need and/or what you want. Visualize a data base structure that will fill all your points. Then download the SW (most have 30 day trials} and test each one to your requirments. Then you will probably suit YOUR purposes not others opinions.

 

I personally use (the old) PS Album 2 which is around 50 US for over 21,000 images and it works for me. Organization only. Good luck.

Fabio, I use 2.5 extensively and never seen or heard of that problem. Did you reinstall the .exe you originally downloaded or from a CD? If it's from the CD try going to their website as they will allow you to download a copy and try that. Or you can call them. I have have good telephone support from them, no charge. Good Luck

Four days, Denver. Head up to Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, via Boulder or via Loveland and Big Thompson (scenic canyon). Then head south back to highway 70 (need map naturally) and hit Vail.

 

Lots and lots of photo opportunities.

 

Or

 

Head south Colorado Springs, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and other area attractions Cripple Creek and old mine towns.

 

Hope the local can give you the weather and road warnings.

Shelly, do a little amateur research. You are the only one who can answer your question. Good luck. :-)

Ooops, I mean as Troy said.

As Jean-Baptiste says, always shoot at the highest.

Ya, a lot of folks over on the PS Elements forum are bitching up a storm over it, claiming 1) it's only a fix of a few bugs from 3 and they are being charged for it 2) losing their old browser for the new organizer (which a lot of people hate) and 3) price and no real discount for upgrade. etc.

 

Then the Mac folks are bitching because there is no Mac Vs. 4, yet.

 

Go figure.

I'm a happy user of ProShow Gold and see there is a fairly new

professional version out called ProShow Producer. It has a big price

tag but frankly their advertising pages have not made me flip out

and buy it as a "must have" item. The new features list is not

really overwhelmings, maybe the big price has more to do with

efficiency.

 

And before I get the posts to download the trial and see for

yourself, I will. I just want to get some other opinions first.

 

Thanks

Sounds good. One rating, only two choices. Either an 0 or a 1. Just right in the digital world. :-)

Bas, no problem here, it's like what makes a horse race. Good luck.

Bas, I see the investment misundersanding. I repeated Terry Bowen question, -- Friends, So what is the answer? Invest in Olympus or not?

 

That was to show Mark Chappell answer with which I agreeded. Anyway, damn internet reading confustion!

 

Now your question is: Yes Oly dropped OM too, just like Canon dropped FD, what's the diff?

 

The difference is Canon stayed in the high end with new systems and products to help their clients up the stepladder. Oly left their clients on the first rung and devoted all their resources to point and shoot amature market. For OVER 10 years.

 

Hence my Once Burned comment in regard to the survival of 4/3. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. For me, I can't say I'm convinced they won't cut and run again. Regards

I wouldn't call introducing one (yes, only one, the OM-707) consumer quality AF camera with a handfull of similar lenses and then dropping it "having a history". I doubt any "investors" got hurt.

 

First, what hat did you pull "investors" out of on my statement Oly has a history. I don't give a damn about investors, I care about photographers in the "having a history" statement. Secondly, I think you need a history lesson. Oly ignored the total OM system not one camera. Unhappy photographers, not investors. Regards

So what is the answer? Invest in Olympus or not?

 

Marks answer was -- How much do you want to gamble on a system that could become obsolete and unsupported before you're through using it?

 

I agree totally, and Oly has a history. What's that saying, something about fooled once...

If I understand you correctly the answer is yes, you maintain your files structure on the hard drive as you want. What Elements Organizer does is import a "pointer" and thumnail of your file to organize and keyword as you wish. Your hard drive remains the same. One caution is that you should not MOVE files directly in the hard drive. You should move files from within the organizer or your photo will disconnect from the pointer. HTH

Sorry for the delay in answering.

 

It was a keyword "Photoshop" link in the following thread on the Digital Darkroom forum. I probably was not logged in.

 

Photoshop CS tutorials by Chris Wick (2005-08-09)

 

The keyword is not their today.

Amazed. Doing simple help in digital darkroom and answer some basic

questions. The thread has photoshop links to pirates with CS2 for 25

USD. What the hay... is happening. This is wrong. What's going on.

Although I have not bought it yet... and can't give you any first hand knowledge all my research points to Total Training DVD's. Many people, here and in the PS forums recommended it. Both CS2 and CS is 299 USD but I'd bet there are CS DVD on the web that are cheaper than that because it is now outdated by CS2. Good Luck

JC, thanks for vindicating the Mid-west.

 

Ron, thanks for pointing to the damn gremlins on the wings, those b.......

 

Greg, you said you didn't take the recharger not that you forgot it. How could you on an international trip?

What Edward said. You don't need to separate the transparency from the slide.

 

I have done thousands (hobby) and it has taken my family pics out of the slide box into the livingroom for all to enjoy. Good Luck.

What ads? Am I gifted or is my pop up killer just working?

Yes, and that's a positive, but since you read this thread you know exactly what I was refering to...not the Help questions.

If you've got a gripe then speak up, just as you've done here John...Many questions get answered in this forum. There are lots of users willing to answer questions from others looking for help...I say a hearty "Cheers" to PN for keeping this forum open."

 

Agree...I never said close it, I said something like "improve" things. :-)

Stumbled on PN a while ago. Loved the forum, learned a lot. Hung

around and looked at the great and not so great photos (pics).

Decided to send in my money to support what I think was a bargain.

Posted a few photos (happy experience) but unfortunately never got

into the swing of rating other. I was trying to figure out how you

rate thousand of fotos ??? Tried to learn and come across this

thread: photo.net Site Feedback Forum.

 

Wow what a turnoff. If anyone really wants to improve things, do

something about this thread. It ranges from rants to ... (you add

your word here). Best to all. No response necessary here as you can

consider this my rant. Period. I'm off to checking the forums and

looking at the pics. :-)
