Reading P C's post causes to me to add this comment. I have an Epson Photo R200 running

now with all the original ink cassettes. It prints a great BW-only print, too. And as P C says,

you also can print color.

Guy, I can't answer your question, but I offer this suggestion for the future. If you are able to,

buy a DSLR camera with the fixed length that will bring you to 35mm. If expenses are

important to you at that time, look over the higher-end-rated cameras and lenses at KEH,

the giant, used cameras, etc., store. They will also buy your S70 if you care to sell it or in this

case, it would be part of a trade. If you do this, it will allow you to later expand your system

with additional lenses, too. Good luck.

I agree with Terry. Try to find an Epson Photo R200 or R220, both under $100. Also, look at

these two sites.

Here's another good one.<br>

<i>Adobe Photoshop CS2 Studio Techniques</i><br>

by Ben Willmore

This link is to the home page to ABOUT:Photography. Look at the red-lettered categories

along

the left side. Each one leads to tutorials on that particular topic. Good luck.

Another vote for Photoshop Elements. I look at Adobe Photoshop Elements as Adobe

Photoshop's powerful little brother.

Micki, Thanks so much for your reply.--Roger

Scott, I'll "second the motion" re embeding an image, etc.--Roger

That's good news. Now if someone would tell me how to post my pictures along with my

text posts instead of being Attachments I would be super-thrilled. I've read the

instructions in FAQ, but I don't understand them. I need take-me-by-the-hand

instructions. Instructions that will take me from a photo in the Pictures file in Safari to it's

final destination, an inline post. Consider that you're dealing with a computer and HTML-

challenged oldster. :-(

Thank you.

Renat, I have an i950 which is essentially the same printer as yours. It has a clogged head,

but if I

can get it up and running again I would like to try your technique.

Roger, I have two of the inexpensive Epsons, an R200 and an R220; both under $100 each.

I'm going to convert one of them to BW-only using the appropriate MIS inkset.

--Roger

Renat, Look over

these two links. They're about converting color printers to dedicated BW printers.

E.L and Rainer, How do you find this info from an attached photo?

--Roger

Alex, Some good observations and advice to your question here. May I add...get comfortable

with Photoshop. Much can be done to an image in post processing, especially if the image is

good to begin with, ie. , exposure. ISO, lens, etc. Good luck.

Since this thread is so light-hearted, here's my "fix." All I did in PS was Select the eyes and up

the Brightness/Contrast a bit.<br>

A caption? "Felix, the Owl-Cat" :-) <br>

--Roger

I read awhile back that the film retail stores sell under their store label is quality film because

when you bring it back for processing they want you to have good prints. I don't know if that

is still true.

Hi Ben, For used photo gear also look at KEH.

Bryan, Great tip. I came to Florida in 1957. Drove all the way down from Syracuse, NY and

that was before the Interstates. Long trip. I had a brand new Volkswagon Bug with a sunroof,

but I wasn't into photography then. :-(<br> But, I was young. :-)<br>

--Roger

I ran across this picture just now and thought I'd pass it on. Look at the expressions on the kid's faces.

Notice the ones who've spotted the photographer...

daveish 182, If you have a second, would you tell how you reverse mounted the FD lens on

the Pentax *ist? Thanks.
