Jim, Peter

 

I have suspected my battery might be at fault. Do you know of any cases where battery replacement solved the problem?

I have a Canon 10D that worked fine for a little over a year, than I

started getting Error 99's. You click the shutter button and nothing

happens except an odd sounding click, and the "error 99" blinking in

the LCD. At this point the camara is usless until you turn it off

and than back on. This became more and more frequent until now I

just can't depend on my camara any more. The problem, with my camara

seems to have nothing to do with lens contacts or the memory card.

 

I have search several message boards, and it seems that this this

Error 99 thing is not that uncommon with Canon DSLR's.

 

I am wondering if there is a similar problem with Nikon, or any of

the other DSLR's. I am trying to decide whether to pay to get this

thing fixed, or just buy another camara or both. I have heard that

getting an error 99 problem fixed can be quite expensive. If I opt

to buy a new camera should I switch brands? Any openions on this?

 

Thanks:

Are DVD+R, and DVD+RW disks recorded on a VCR to DVD recorder,

compatable with PC computer DVD players? If so it would be a great

tool for transfering old VHS camcorder tapes to my computer for

editing and storing. If so any brand recomendations?

 

Thanks

I never did enough color printing in the darkroom to get any sense

of how much it cost to do it on a regular basis. I print at least

three or four days out of the week on my 1280. I use mostly Epson

Matt Heavyweight and Ilford Classic pearl, with Epson inksets. Does

digital printing cost more or less than an equivelent amount done in

a wet darkroom?

 

Thanks

Has anyone used inkjet transparencys for making silkscreens? If you

have I would like to know if or how that worked for you. Are there

any books on the subject?

 

Thanks

Yes otherwise my sound is fine, and even when I move a clip to the storyboard, the sound is good. It's only when I run a clip from the Collections window do I get this problem, and yes I am using the latest version.

When playing clips from Movie Maker's Collection window I get

distorted sound. It's like the sound is cuting in and out very fast.

This makes it hard to determane what goes onto the story board.

 

Has anyone had this problem, and what can be done about it? I am

running XP on an HP. Not ready to buy another editor.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have been using Corel Photo-Paint for years and am now learning

Photoshop. In Photo-Paint when selecting a font all you need to do

is mouse over a font name and an example of that font shows next to

it. I have not been able to find this feature in Photoshop. Is it

there?

 

Thanks

To those having a problem with fading, what paper are you using? I use Heavyweight Matt, and Ilford Pearl, and have had no such fading problems with my 1280. Prints have been hanging on my wall for over four years with no problems.

Thanks Grant, that worked.

Yes, on photo.net and other sites also. I am a photographer,and the only images I use for anything are my own, but I do "borrow" ideas.

All of a sudden I can not save jpg's by right clicking on the image.

I am only offered the bmp extention as an option. I am using XP. How

can I fix this?

 

Thanks

I use Avery Matt White Business Cards #27881. I get mine at CompUSA, and Sam's Club. They print excellent images and text from my Epson 1280. I set it for the same settings as for Epson Matte Heavyweight. I use CorelDraw 9 to design the cards by opening a new page at the size of the Avery cards 2"X 3 1/2". I pick a font wright my text,than import an image, size everything than print according to the directions provided by Avery using their recommended template which is installed in CorelDraw, and maybe in Illustrator. I always put an image on my card, and sometimes my wife laminats them. The image and the text are moveable seperately or together. When you want to change the image just delete the old one and import another, you can adjust the text as you see fit, but it's still the same text.

 

I always give a few cards to each paying customer with one of their images featured. They pass them out, and sometimes come back for more. I make them as I need them, and carry them around in a little leather business card folder from OfficeMax, or Staples. Be sure to get a release unless they go only to the person who's image is on the card.<div></div>

That worked.Thanks.

Sorry about the double post. How can I delete one?

Love this plun-in. Converting to black and white, with just the right effect takes some time to do. The example would have taken quite a bit of fiddling, but with the plug-in I pulled if off in a snap, with just a little tweeking.

 

Got the plug-in to work in Photoshop, but I use Corel Photo-Paint9 most of the time, and could not get to run in that program. Any suggestions?<div></div>

How do I go about attaching a Photo to a post, or just make the

photo a part of the post? I have done this before, but forgot how to.

 

 

Thanks

I use a Tamron that's both wide and long. It's a 28-300mm, that's a little less wide and a little more long on the Canon 10D. This is the second Camera I have used it on, and find it works just fine for most applications. I have been thinking of getting something that is equivalent to 28mm, for the 10D. I do miss the wideness I have lost.

Todd, Congrats on getting your hands on a 10D. Got mine a few months ago, and just can't get enough of it. What lens are you using?

I used 8 in the early days of my digital life. I did'nt work with it for very long before upgrading, so I didn't get very deeply into it. I upgraded to 9 simply because I got such a good price for it. I still have 8 loaded on an old computer, so I think I will open it up and play with it for a while to see if there is much differance.

"I use v.9 also. What do you think of 12? Is it worth the upgrade? Now that you are back using 9, what if anything do you miss?"

 

 

I found nothing that made me feel that I had to upgrade. 9 still works for me.

I am inquiring mostly about the hobby shops.

"The obvious solution would be to reload the Photo-Paint 12 trial version, open the files you created with it, and save them in either version 9 (or earlier) format, or in a common format such as TIFF."

 

 

Once you have downloaded the trial version, and used it for the 30 day period, before it stops working, you can not download and install it again. There are probably ways to hack around that, but I am not a hacker.
