Lar, have a look at our Tutiki on how to link images from PBase. The gist is that you should always attempt to link the original to preserve quality. Here's your original linked and you should notice the difference in sharpness. PS, nice shots. :biggrin:

Thanks for the kind wishes, guys! I feel humbled.:redface:

Are you using Internet Exploder, if so which version? Also which version of Windows are you on? Cheers.

You'll never get into the sales forum if you carry on like that. Hearts or not.

Check out this post regarding the /3GB switch. With regards to your computer not shutting down, this can have many reasons. From BIOS settings to drivers to programs. Does the PC shut down when booted in safe mode? Cheers.

Rick, bring it back and have it checked. To me this seems to be a mechanical problem rather than setup or software. There is no good reason why ALT-TAB stops working or the touch pad button executes a double-click. Cheers.

Mark, try underclocking your memory. If it's running at 800MHz try 667MHz, etc. Give that a try and see what happens. Cheers.

I believe this is not what this thread is about. Besides, no one said it is/should be preferred.

The latest beta of Firefox 3 can now properly display pictures with profiles embedded. Note that this is a beta version and not a final product. You can download it here. The feature is disabled by default, so use the following steps to activate it: type about:config in the address bar and...

jbear, looks good, especially for that price tag. The only thing I would swap (if they let you) is the video card. Turbo cache uses part of your system memory as video memory. I'd replace the card with one that has dedicated video memory on board, such as this. Hope it helps.

Have a look at XnView. It's fluent in OS X, Windows and *nix and can display/convert both file formats you mentioned. Best of all - it's free! Cheers.

Hehe... :biggrin: Here is a small selection. But as I said before, I can't recommend any of them, nor do I know which of those work on a Mac. Good Luck.

It's not problem with either - they just aren't compatible. The iMac can do surround but only in digital, and the speakers can do surround but only analogue. You could buy a USB dongle which has 5.1 analogue output (basically an external USB sound card) but I can't recommend any since I have no...

I hate to break it to you, but you won't get surround sound on those speakers from your iMac. :frown: If you look at the picture you can see the three topmost jacks - colored green, black and orange - those are analogue inputs for the 5.1 speakers. Green is for front left and right, black is...

The internal sound card will not decode the surround signal, it's just passing it through to whatever device you connect to it. Unless the 5.1 speaker system you're about to buy has a Dolby Digital (or similar) decoder with an optical input you won't get any surround sound. There are other ways...

Shaun, the line out socket in the back doubles as an optical out. You need a TOSLink cable to connect it to your amplifier. The output is RAW which means you need a decoding amplifier to enjoy 5.1 surround sound in your movies. Most 5.1 PC speaker systems have amplifiers built into the subs and...

Slightly OT, I apologise! Close down Safari completely Open Terminal from Utilities Type defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1 and press Enter/Return Close Terminal and start SafariYou now have a debug entry in the top menu bar. Open it and change the User Agent to Windows MSIE...

Shaun, since you posted this in the Apple forum I have to assume that you're on a Mac. Elements latest version for Mac is 4.0. Versions 5.0 and 6.0 are Windows (XP and Vista) only. If memory serves the Mac version doesn't support Intel processors natively and runs in emulation mode. Cheers.

Interesting statement and eloquently put. :tongue: What happened to your VW/Audi/Mercedes/BMW/Porsche?

It runs nicely on Leopard. It's a nifty little application for organising your import when you come from a shoot. I find the stacks really useful, as well as the batch conversion ability.

Photon is finally available, check it out here. It's a very fast image viewer/importer for OS X aimed to be the first instance of your DAM. It fits perfectly in my work flow, of course YMMV. I'm not going to write a review, simply check it out. It's very small and very fast. This program is the...

Sorry, I misunderstood. If you only use your computers in a controlled environment, i.e. at home and not in an office or on a public network, you can set DisableMSI = 0. Not sure why yours is set to 1, it may have been set by some 'security' software. Normally this is only changed as part of a...

Nancy, did you reboot after making the change?

The EtherDisk Mini supports AFP, in theory it should work. I didn't mean to sound so harsh in my initial comment, however, I was expecting a LOT more in terms of performance from Lacie and gigabit ethernet. Even using the ED via the USB port is horrendously slow. The best I have achieved so...

Not wanting to hijack this thread but stay well clear of those. Utter crap (yes, I have one). PM me if you want me to elaborate. Cheers.

Hey, it's not their fault that no one else participates. :wink:

That and you spelt it Sheby. :tongue: I prefer the first car, but maybe in front of the forth background? Cheers.

Arthur, you make the changes to boot.ini from within Windows, see towards the end of the post I linked. The changes will be effective when you reboot the computer, no need for a wired keyboard. EDIT: Well of course you need a wired keyboard to make the selection when booting. Silly me.:redface...

No problem at all, Arthur. I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page. The article you mentioned is aimed at Windows Terminal Server. That's a server where clients connect to in order to run applications. If you run Remote Desktop for maintenance or small tasks it won't affect you...

Where in the article does it say it's not as easy as I described, besides the fact that it's aimed at Windows Terminal Servers? I don't mean to sound snotty, I just don't see the connection.

If you're on Windows XP SP2 you can add a switch to the boot command which will allow programs (which can do so) to use more than 2GB of memory. Read my post here, how to do that. Cheers.

I don't want to buy your stuff, but I think it's a great idea. I probably wouldn't go as far as saying that it's a life time opportunity, but it certainly will be an experience you'll (hopefully) not regret. If you don't go you'll always tell yourself 'what if I had gone...'. I came over to the...

Am I understanding correctly that you plugged the computer into the one good outlet after you replaced various bits in it? The CMOS checksum error normally indicates a dead battery. If you had the CMOS failing while using the older wiring outlets it could well be an indicator for a...

I'm not familiar with the US layout, it might suffice to swap command and options for you. But, at least on the UK layout, I also need to change " @ # \ and and couple others which the script does for me. It's not perfect, but does the job well enough for now. Cheers.

Thanks for that info. The price put me off, they make you bleed through the nose for those in the UK. I settled with my Microsoft Comfort Curve 1000 keyboard and remapped some of the keys via a script. Works great! Cheers.

Tony, give FxIF a try. No bloat, small and simple.

Hey, that looks exactly like what I'm looking for. I see they have UK distributors. Thanks for the tip.

Does anyone know a native Mac keyboard (wired or wireless)? I'm not talking about Mac compatible, I want one with an Apple Mac layout but proper keys. I'm using the new wired slimline keyboard and, while it looks very sexy on the desk, I find it utterly horrible to type on. I tried a few of my...

Yes, that is a LOT better. What did you do differently apart from the crop?

Hmm, how much did you crop these? If those were converted from RAW then you must have either applied a lot of compression (low quality/small file size), repeatedly saved the JPG during post processing or used an editor that doesn't like your RAW files. What program did you use? Try opening the...

Arnie, I presume you're talking about the color banding in the background in shots #2 and #3. It looks to me as if you shot in JPG and then saved as JPG again in post processing. JPG is a lossy compression, which means it removes detail from the picture in order to save space (very basic...

Go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center. Under Network and Discovery enable Network Discovery, File Sharing and Password Protected Sharing and try again. Also try disabling Vista's firewall temporarily and see if that helps. Cheers.

It's a 3D browser used in iTunes. I think it was in the video footage when Mr. Jobs introduced the iPhone. More on Cover Flow. Cheers.

Shaun have a look at this article on lifehacker.com. I found it very helpful when my partner bought her MacBook in January. Lots of good info and links for further reading. Cheers.

Chet, thanks for the link. I just signed up with them.

I did some extensive file copying today. I shifted around 1TB of data between the Mini, several external HDs and my Windoze box using muCommander. While it doesn't have the one feature I use most on TC, copy/move queue in the background, it performed flawlessly. I'm quite impressed so far...

Rich, while not a solution to your problem, do have a look at muCommander. I bought the new Mac Mini a few days ago (absolutely love it) but file management is a royal pain, especially, if you had tools like Total Commander at your disposal before. On my quest for a Norton Commander style file...

Igor, rather than compiling step by step instructions myself allow me to redirect you to this article, which explains it pretty well. It's a little dated but it all should still apply. I'm lazy like that! :wink:

I should add that I have installed AVG 7.5 Anti-Malware and O&O Defrag 10 Professional which brought my memory usage up to 22%. The Sidebar gadgets I'm running are CPU Meter Calendar Weather SlideshowCheers.
