<p>Thank you all for your responses. I think I'll go with a combo offered at Calumet.</p>

<p>Can anyone recommend a good posing stool and or posing table combo? I plan to use it in a typical studio setting. Thanks!!</p>

<p>Thanks William!</p>

<p>I recently picked up a used Epson R2400 that has third party ink cartridges installed. I intend to replace them all with genuine Epson inks but I'm wondering if I need to purge the old ink out? Any useful advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.......</p>

<p>Chris, I have a R280 and this works for me. I usually print on Epson Ultra Premium Luster and it comes out perfect each and every time, however, I use a PC and not a Mac:<br>

 

<p>To get a good print from Photoshop</p>

<p >1. In the Epson printer properties box main tab, select “best photo”, choose paper and size, check print preview box.</p>

<p >2. In the advanced tab, be sure to uncheck “high speed print” and to click next to ICM. Do not check the “Off no color adjustment box. Leave it blank. Then click ok.</p>

<p >3. In the Photoshop print tab, click document.</p>

<p >4. Color handling =Photoshop manages color. </p>

<p >5. Printer profile= Stylus Photo R280 R290 Series</p>

<p >6. Rendering intent=relative colorimetric</p>

<p >7. Check black point compensation. </p>

<p > <br>

Hope this works. </p>

<p>Jerry, the Tokina 11-16mm is rated very high and so far I believe, rightfully so. It's built very solid and is tack sharp. I was on the waiting list at Adorama for four months. I almost gave up hope and was poised to buy the Tokina 12-24mm but I stuck it out. Glad I did.</p>

<p>I also have to "go to bat" for the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8.............excellent lens.<br>

Also the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8........simply remarkable.<br>

I use them quite frequently on both my D300 and Fuji S3 Pro!</p>

Check out portfoliositez.com............I'm happy with them.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate your advice.....

Yep Dave, I know what you mean..........and Blu is really cool too. I have to think about things...................decisions.......decisions!!

Thanks Sam, I reallyy appreciate that!!

Sam, I may just pick your brains for a couple questions if you don't mind..........many thanks!!

Thanks for the "heads up" Conrad.......btw, your site is cool!!

"If you are looking for a fulfillment company, have you looked at www.pictage.com?"

 

Thanks Hung, I checked out pictage a while back but didn't feel it was right for me.

Thanks Sam, I lke the way your site is set up. Kinda what I'm looking for. I didn't realize it customized like that.

I'm in the process of building my first website (for portraits and weddings) and I'm

having trouble deciding which webhost to go with. I like the online print ordering

feature offfered by smugmug but I'm not too crazy about their templates. I've been

practicing building a site on portfoliositez.com and I like their templates better but

they don't offer online printing like smugmug. Is there any way I can "enjoy the

best of both worlds"? Any opinions, advice or personal experience shared would

be very appreciated. Thanks!!

Yep, it was used and picked up from an auction site. Is it price- worthy to try to have it repaired?

I picked up an Adorama Flashpoint 620 strobe that does not function properly.

When it powers on, it takes a while to build up a charge to flash. When it does

flash, it takes a while to recharge again. Furthermore, I cannot fire the flash

at more than 1/2 power. Any insight, assistance or constructive advice is

appreciated. Thanks!!

thank you Diane and Tom, I appreciate your input!

I like to print my own work from time to time and I would like input from

others who do their own printing and are willing to reveal their favorite mat

printing paper for both color and bw. I don't have a fancy printer, just an HP

7350. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Thanks Vince, I need PC software........

Thanks guys for all your input, it's much appreciated. I believe I'll go with NX......I'll give the trial version a go at it!! I failed to mention that I use Photoshop CS2. In the interim, I will also try Randal's concept!

I recently picked up a used D70s and I'm not sure what software to use when I

download my shots to the computer. I shoot mostly in RAW format. Any input on

this subject would be apreciated.........thanks!!
