  1. After you created the new All "no nudes" category, I can no longer view my

    main page correctly. It had a link to the critique only forum and I suppose

    this is the culprit.

    Do I have to delete the link or can it be fixed?

     

    The error:

    - Link to the Critique Only forum: Here HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error MIME-

    Version: 1.0 Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2007 19:04:53 GMT Server: AOLserver/4.0 Content-

    Type: text/html Content-Length: 540 Connection: close

     

    Server Error

    The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error on this server.

     

    Thanx for viewing

  2. Bob,

     

    "Remember a 3 isn't "bad", it's just "below average".!

    It's the lowest visible rating. Below average photos appear exactly the same as others really 1/1

     

    Also, if people are sick of a particular subject (like cats or babies), they tend to score lower than they might with a subject they like.

     

    I thought ratings were directed toward a "single" photo, not toward "categories"

     

    I was wrong, apparently

  3. Please correct me if I'm wrong:

    A photo to be counted as "viewed" should be clicked twice: first to enlarge it, then "larger".

     

    So, if a photo is small enough that doesn't need to be enlarged twice could get more "views" or not? (there is only one option to enlarge it, no "larger"). Thanx

  4. The Canon software I use with my XTi 400D is Digital photo professional that was included (but also dowloadable on thier site). RAW files can also be read by: Capture One, ACDSee, and of course, Photoshop CS2.
  5. I noticed that every time I reformat a Compact flash card in my camera (canon

    400d), the number of available photos decreases (2GB - from 202 photos to 190

    as of yet). This is something I haven't previously noticed. Do I have to

    expect a constant reduction of photos I can take over time? Thanx to all

  6. I've recently purchased a Canon 400D and started shooting RAW (at last). After

    trying the bundled Digital Photo Professional, I got the impression that after

    converting the images to TIFF or JPG, much of the sharpness visible in RAW got

    lost. I'm now trying Capture ONE and ACDSee, and they seem much better in this

    respect. It also seems that they can manage colours and contrast with more

    efficacy. I'm really a newbie here, so: 1) Am I doing something wrong with

    DPP? - 2) Between the other two, which would you suggest and why? Thanx for

    your time

  7. I also have this camera and I've also noticed the noise. I don't care about it, since I can easily remove it with Paint Shop Pro (despeckle). If you shoot raw+jpg, you'll notice that the corresponding jpg doesn't show that noise
  8. I've also purchased recently a 400D, and I still have to test it. I also think it underexpose somewhat, but I don't think it's a bug. In my opinion, it's the way the exposure behaves, being prone to preserve the highlight, which is much better than burn them.

     

    So, to cut a story short, this is my experience:

    1) sun behind, average lighting: exposure correct.

    2) sun behind, scene with snow: little underexposure (correct, IMHO)

    3) sun in front: overexposure, you have to set -1

    4) flash: not underexposure. simply, the flash is too weak (!). If the subject is close enough, the exposure is correct.

     

    Overall, not bad. I still need to test it further, though

  9. Just like almost any other member submitting photos for critique. You will always come across someone who doesn't like your work. Accept it. Personally, I don't mind bad anonimous ratings, but I regret that explanations are never given. These also should be anonimous, IMHO. If you add a comment, it won't be anonimous anymore, and you are exposed to immediate vengeance ... Your link points to a beautiful image, though
