Well, if you don't want to use Picasa, and you don't want to use the software that came with your camera, you could try FastStone Image Viewer. Even though it is called a "viewer" it does a lot more: Crop, Resize, Clone and heal, Adjust lighting, Do a slide show, compare (up to 4) images, and more.
And it is free. http://www.faststone.org/

It's a great bit of free software !

When people talk about shooting weddings for a certain price is that just the wedding or wedding & reception that goes into the night & ends up many hours of work. And then is it just give them a copy of the files as is off the camera or you go through them all in PP first then give them to the couple ?
One more thing, how many shots is an acceptable amount of shots ?

The pictures have to be placed in a folder and that folder has to go into the DCIM folder on the card
Yep they have to go back into the DCIM folder on the card not just back on the card. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Take a look at the Tamron 18-270mm, its a fairly good third-party lens on the Canon crop sensor bodies.
MT I'm looking at buying the Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM for my D7000 soon. I have also been looking at the Tamron 18-270mm, in your opinion what would you go with. I want to add it to my Sigma 150-500mm so I only need to carry the 2 lenses to cover virtually the whole focal range I need.
I would very much appreciate what you think would be the way to go & why.
I hope this is not hijacking the post because the poster may get an idea of the options available.
All opinions are welcome,
Thank you,
Cheers !

Please don't insult people, I know you like it when it is me, I use this on a regular basis and I do not waste money
Perhaps we can see the photographs you took using one when you reached this conclusion
Where's the insult, I am simply expressing my opinion, there crap, mate if you think that that is an insult you got no idea.
As far as what your saying about I like to put you down or something again you have no idea, I have backed you up & defended what you have said many times.

I use this and the ease and flexibility are great.
DON'T count it out because of the price, in fact they mace a superb portrait light also
Here is an old shot I took with it
"Chock ice"
I would never waste my money on an LED ring flash, they just don't put out enough light.

Short of using fly paper, how do you get the fly (or any insect) to sit still for multiple exposures?? Wonderful detail in your shot!
Exactly, I think they freeze them . :thumbup:

Simple fix. In the driver/preferences, you should re-map your tablet real estate to just how much you want to use. I have the medium and have mapped the surface to a bit less than the WHOLE surface to address just that issue.
Well said :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's ok, Because I found it so easy to use I suppose I do not understand the problem when it is just like using a pen or pencil on a tablet, and not a piece of paper which we have all done many times in our lives. I use mine for every thing and it is very rare I use the mouse. :D

You finally convinced me... I have been wavering about this for a few weeks now, and this thread just pushed me over the edge. I just ordered a small Wacom tablet - pen *and* touch - from Amazon for $103 including tax and postage. I do quite a bit of retouching, and at that price it's worth a try, I reckon.
That's great to hear, please just read the manual & set the software up correctly & I think you will never look back.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people are just plugging them up & not setting them up.
Cheers !

Hi MaryAnn If you use the pen like you would a normal pen and hold it the same. You can lift the pen and place it on a different part of the screen and the courser will go to that place. You do not have to drag it over the tablet as it will move the courser with out touching the tablet ( I think this is hard to do after using a mouse when it has to be in contact with the mouse mat))nor do you have to mover the courser like you do with a mouse due to the fact that your tablet can be set to be the size of your screen if you have a small one. My wacom cover all my screen so making it very easy to navigate round it. I got a friend to use it and said to her not to use the mouse at all but just the pen. Practice with it and don't give up, I am sure that you will get to grips with it.

Thank you for explaining what I am trying to say !

I bought a tablet also and cannot seem to use it properly. I am all over the place with the pen. I don't know what I am doing wrong so I always go back to the mouse.
I think a lot of you's may be having trouble because you have the software that comes with them set on mouse not pen mode, they operate totally different in each mode, I could never use it in mouse mode I've tried it.
[quote=Elliern][quote=murm]What an idiot to call the most precision instrument available to work in PP a novelty at best, you really do have no idea.
As I said above you can't use it so you can it.

I think that's exactly what we are doing,,,, a good healthy debate of differences, this is how we are in Australia, blunt & to the point. We don't sugar coat everything to try & keep everyone happy, like so many do on this site.
No disrespect to you or anyone,,,,

Really, and I guess your some kind of moxie moron.
My hands are shall I say not a nimble as they were years ago, and dragging my hand across some pad that was designed for a right handed person, means four times the work, putting it down to enter key strokes, then trying to pick it up with fingers that used to pick up pins, no only pick up magic markers. I find it a novelty at best.
I had to look that up,,,, thank you I wear that description with pride !
Have a good one !

Agreed, I find the pen not as mighty as the mouse, I use a track ball. I also have the pen tablet, which I would say is a novelty at best.
