Trying to learn Photoshop techniques at the moment and straightforward techniques like this are a great help. Masses still to learn though!

That's such a hard thing to hear. Fingers crossed developments will be good in the next test, but whatever happens you need to be there for each other.

Had a look in Currys/PC World today at all the suggestions. They all seem pretty good, although my during my brief play the TZ40 looked a little difficult to adjust settings. Probably me missing something obvious but there was no dial to adjust shutter speed/aperture when you were in the...

What was it in your research that made the TZ40 stand out?

Thanks chaps, the XF1 looks very interesting. Will explore that a little further.

Thanks for the suggestion. Those shots look really good. The X10 is slightly larger than I'd want for such grab and go cases, but worth keeping in mind. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

I have a canon 40d but there are times when I just want to grab a little compact camera to grab snaps when out and about with the family. We have an old Casio that son it's last legs so looking for suggestions on good quality replacements in the price range up to £250

So I think what your saying is pull out the good stuff and whatever is left you can dump, rather than deleting as you go through. I really need to get into the habit of being selective about what gets left on my hdd as there are loads of poor images that have no place being retained.

Some great info in here, I need to try a few options to see what PP software I'm most comfortable with.

I wish. Seeing it fall quite quickly at the moment, but just as it seems as if the end is in sight we are thinking of moving and spending more :bonk:

I'd also suggest talking to the mother and explaining the issue it is causing for you and yours. Sometimes I think parents just need to be told straight to really take the rose tinted lenses away.

I'm interested in the answer to this too as just back from this summers hols and a photo book might be a nice way of putting together a record of the trip.

Guys, many thanks for those suggestions it makes a huge difference to the image :thumbs:

No particular reason to keep it, just interested to hear ideas of what people might do to it in PP.

I am still very much my camera and post-processing using Canon's Digital Photo Professional mostly. I took this picture last month and have just got round to looking at it. Currently it is an untouched jpeg straight from the camera and I'd welcome suggestions for how to improve it in...
