<p>Hi Chuck<br>

When we did 'spotting' (back in the 1980's) we used food dyes and spit! We only had a few basic colours, so we used to mix them on an ice cream lid, like a painter's pallette. That was in a professional print lab too! We never had any complaints, so i have to assume that they worked just as well as the brand you cite above. Just a thought!<br>

<p>Hi Jennifer<br>

I had the exact same problem and was going to post a question here too, then i found out how. it's real simple. go to 'manage my portfolio' and then 'single photos'. You should then see all your posted photos. Looks like you're not a subscriber (i'm not either) so it should be the same process, so over on the far right hand side of the box where you can see your photos is the 'admin' tab. if you can see the 'show details' the admin tab is just above it. i overlooked it a few times, but anyway, click on that admin tab and all the options for posting photos (including deleting) are there.<br>

hope that helps....anthea</p>

<p>Hi Thorir<br>

Changing the image size is quite easy in photoshop. Click on Image (in the toolbar along the top of PS) then click 'image size'. Untick the box 'constrain proportions' so you can expand the size without applying the change to all sides. E.G. if you want to only make the width slighter bigger but leave the height the same. Or vice versa.<br>

Good luck, hope that helps!<br>

Cheers, Anthea </p>

Hi Phyliss

If you use Photoshop, you can make one of your existing images into a tilt shift one using Photoshop. I found this tutorial http://www.tiltshiftphotography.net/ when i was just learning to use Photoshop and it is quite easy to do.

Or you can just google 'tilt shift photoshop tutorial' and you should find heaps. i found the one above the best as it is step by step, particularly as i was very new to PS.

Hope that info helps, at least it will save you buying a lens!

<p>Hi Sofie - perhaps you could give some more details about the shoot. Like, the pupose of the shots - are they to promote the pots, i.e. for display, or business, or what?<br>

Also, what lighting etc did you use?<br>

It is very hard to comment when you don't give much detail. IMO, they look good, but once again, it's hard to know given i don't know your objective for taking the shots. They look a little flat, lacking in impact, for example, but if they are for 'sale' then maybe that's ok.<br>

<p>Hi all, i think that film and digital both have good and bad points, frustrations and delights! Neither is better than the other; digital is here to stay, but film is still definately around.<br>

<em>I was just saying that it's a lot harder to get a result that's consistent for everyone.</em><br>

On this point i would also like to say that it doesn't matter what medium you persent your work, the opinions will still differ no matter how 'consistent' the original is. However, i take your point about Photoshop - it is expensive, try downloading Gimp or similiar software, there are free programs available, Gimp is one of the more well known ones, and just tell people which program you are using when you need help.<br>

that's my two-cents worth for the day (I'm in Australia), cheers, Anthea :)</p>

<p>Hi all, this is my first post, and i have to say that so far (in some 30 odd years of taking photos) i only get comments on <strong>what</strong> i'm photographing, not the camera!<br>

For example, "why are you taking photos of rocks?" "is there a possum or something in that rubbish bin?" "i don't think that tap is smiling..." etc. Probably because i am mainly a macro photographer i guess. (In case that's not clear by the above comments). My film camera set up (Olympus OM10; Tamron 38-70mm lens and twin flash) was nicknamed "the Tashmahal" by my family lol!<br>

I have only recently made the move to digital, and i'm loving it! I bought an Olympus E520 and if anyone one did comment, i have to say i'd tell them what it is and "knock yourself out" as mark suggests! Hope this post wasn't too far off-topic.<br>

I have been avidly reading the varous forums and i just couldn't hang back any more!<br>
