Can you share the link of what you purchased?

Floral43,

Thanks for this tip. I'm using CS6 on a MAC. I did find one place to change from RGB to LABS and tried it it appears better for printing.

For calibrating the monitor on my iMac I use a Spyder Pro. Works great. I have a Canon Pixma Pro 9500 printer, I use the printer utility and Canon paper to print on. Mostly printing 8 1/2 x11's or 4x6 at this time.

But if there is a better way for me to do this, please let me know.

Nicely said. Yes, I'm a vet by the way. 40% is quite a bit to expect. Profit margins to both the manufacturer and retailer are slim these days. To provide such a high discount they would have to jack up the MSRP much higher and then make it look like a deal for you. The citizens of the US have spoken (loudly) that they want low prices and are willing to forgo quality service, so higher MSRP's would hurt the retailers.

LOL. Its bad enough the off brand ones are a gamble to purchase.

Thanks for pointing out my error, apologies to all Circus Clowns.

They are in the 545 count:
1 clown in the white house
9 tyrants on the supreme court
100 bozos in the senate
435 buffoons in the house

There is a wide variety of LED type lighting available for photo/video work. Amazon, ebay, Adorama and such. For video work I do use a small one, 32 leds. I also have traditional strobe and continuous lights.

I can see the advantages of the technology, as they are lightweight, run cool and have low power consumption.

The number of leds can span a small number to 1,000, with filters, barn doors and even battery power available.

I'm now seeing models that offer light temperature adjustment for 3200K to 5500K, is this extra feature of value?

Thanks for any help, the choices are staggering now and looking to understand it better.

Maybe its time that we citizens of the US try uniting against the politicians and send them packing. Most people prefer soap operas and sports, and this allows the 545 clowns to wreck havoc on us.

We must find 545 people to unite us, the 545 we currently have divided us for too long and its time for a change.

God does not have a Mom.

I have not seen the show but I think a feminist invented that theory. Sad that such rubbish exists.

thanks!

Yesterday they released their Black Friday ad and I suspect a bazillion people went to look. I know I did and saw horrible performance. Its working fine now.

Its a great lens, and that is a great camera. They go well together for an all around leans.

Some of this starts us citizens, some of it starts with the Feds.

Sadly the majority of people in the US are will to sacrifice quality and service to save money. Walmart and other discount chains became popular because of this. Can't blame any specific collection of people for this.

Then the gov't has provided tax incentives for US makers to outsource the creation of goods to outside of the US.

I would love to see us make stuff again and I ask the fed candidates in my state/district to support that, however the special interests also ask them to support overseas production.

LOL, and from when I lived there a long time ago the cops were just as crooked as the crooks.
