Tim, thanks for the input. I'd be using the ground's wifi to upload & the editing would be minimal, just straighten, crop, resize & keyword. I might pop in to PC World or somewhere & take a look at a few. The other alternative would be a smaller laptop than the bulky one I have now but...

thanks, I'll check it out

Admirable, how do you enter your keyword data (I like Faststone, use it on my main PC) Gary, why do you say waste of money?

Thanks all, I don't want to use it for any heavy duty stuff, just to adjust shots at the pitchside & ftp them. Anyone doing that on a netbook? What do other people use?

I shoot a bit of nPower league soccer & currently use the only laptop I have - a 17"er - to upload at halftime & after the game. Apart from being big & heavy & taking a long time to boot up each time it's rather unwieldy. I was thinking about getting one of those 10" screen netbook thingys...

I don't really like watermarks & don't watermark most of my stuff as it does detract from the overall presentation. The exception to this is my American football photos. I post between 400 & 700 shots from every game on my website (800 px 72dpi - there are some 25,000 photos from 2 seasons o...

hmm, seems like more work than I'm doing at the moment. Does anyone else make labels for their photos? I used to just write the image name & my name on the back for camera club competitions, but now put a printed label with extra detail on the back. I'm surprised this doesn't seem to be an...

thanks for the replies, I'm not after adding exif data to photos, I simply want to print out a text label I can stick on the back of my photos.

I'm looking for some software which will print Exif data onto labels. Currently, when printing out photos for display/camera club, I copy & paste the exif data into a Word Label Template, which is somewhat unwieldy & time consuming. Is there any software which will automatically format a...

John, thanks, yes I agree it's different to noise which is why I thought there may be a sensor problem recording the image since it's not uniform like noise but blotchy (albeit very small blotches) - just didn't know what else to call it. The RAW files show the same blotchyness in all my...

No, not a member, I don't live far from Elstree & last time I had it back the day after I dropped it off. this one processed in DPP, taken with 100-400, ISO 100

Currently using Lightroom 2.3 & updated the firmware on the camera 3 or 4 weeks ago to the latest version. Here's one on the 70-200 f2.8, although this is ISO 200 I'll have a go at processing using something else....

I don't know whether it's relevant but I've had some problems with the camera since I bought it. It went back to Canon when the IS stopped working on all the lenses, (the software had turned the function off) And every so often the scrollwheel stops working completely so you can't change any...

here's another example ISO 100 saved at 100% quality The first two shots are on 600L F4 the Italy shot was the 24-105L

here's one from the second shot saved at 100 from photoshop. The noise is just as visible at full size in the raw file as shown here.
