<p>Solved, had to update the version.<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>I may be asking this in the wrong forums, in case moderator please shift it to the apporpriate forum.<br>

Anyway I have used Elements 7 for about 2 years and recently I could not open Raw files, the message box that appears says that it could not open the image from the source and the name.CR2. About 3 months ago I had installed DPP.<br>

I tried to remove both DPP and Elements and reinstall elements but without success. I do manage to open JPEGS but cannot open Raw.<br>

To open files, I use a card reader not directly from the camera and even tried from a file within the PC.<br>

Thanks,<br>

<p>Sorry my mistake as I am only familliar with B+W glass filters. What I meant was any non glass square filters vs glass filters.<br>

Many thanks for everyones' help</p>

<p>I am used to B+W glass filters. But recently I became interested in a gradient ND. I have two options, the slide in such as Lee or screw on from B+W. The main disadvantage I see is that I could not align the filter up and down according to the sky. On the other hand I have always used glass filters.<br>

Should I be compromising quality if using gel filters.<br>

Thanks<br>

<p>Hi,<br>

For landscapes which ND filter would you suggest, (ie 0.6, 1.8, 3.0 etc).<br>

Thanks in advance for your help.<br>

<p>Hi,<br>

I currently use both DPP and Elements 7. Newer version of Elements 7 is available. Does higher image resolution require newer Elements versions, or I may stick to my current version.<br>

Thanks for your help and happy new year.<br>

<p>Here it is, its at 3200 as I could not find the 1600 <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38790359@N05/5280964682/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/38790359@N05/5280964682/</a></p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

I was trying to shoot at around ISO 1600, without a flash. The skin tones turn out like seasick. I tried to increase temperature but could not resolve the issue. Any help please on how to overcome this. The available light was fluoriscent.<br>

Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Flash is one of those must have accesories. Although you shoot out doors there are times when you need it, especially if the subject would need some fill in due to shadows. I would not sell it unless a better one comes out, still I might keep it to fill backgrounds.</p>

<p>How right you are, note yahoo news and other online news sites. they have both images and video footages.</p>

<p>Simon.</p>

<p>Thanks very much for your replies and help.<br>

I actually like the Beep sound which reminds me of those big Metz 60CT flash days that used to beep almost the same way.</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

Which of the three AF settings is best used on the 7D against the slight movement during hand held shots, AI servo or AI Focus ?.</p>

<p>Thanks<br>

Simon. </p>

<p>I would'nt sacrifice the extra stop to gain lighter lenses. I been through a similar situation when I had the 24-105mm vs the 24-70mm, yes the 24-70 it heavier. But I got used to it and I am happy that I decided for the 24-70mm as I find the extra stop very helpful, especially in low light were subjects move, here IS is not so helpful. <br>

Just my thoughts.</p>

<p>Thanks very much to all</p>

<p>Yes Tim you're right, in fact I have seen to some as well.<br>

Thanks again,<br>

<p>Hi,<br>

May I ask were to find studio props, such as hats clothing etc for studio. Mail order if possible please.<br>

Thanks in advance,<br>

Simon.</p>

<p>My focal length starts from 24mm, I resolved the 24mm and below with a 10-22mm which produces great images. Bear in mind that there is a bigger difference from 10-24 than you have from 17mm to 24mm. I found the 10mm very useful.<br>

Also should you ever decide to go full frame 24mm will become a wide angle.<br />Simon.</p>
