    Want a Budget PC Monitor for editing

    the dell ultra sharps will give you very high res. at 24inch I dont believe you need anything higher than 1080. have a look at the modern IPS panels at 24inch range. I think the latest good ones are Panda Panels AOC 24G2U or 24G2U5. the former being a gaming compatible monitor also - 155Hz...

    Nikon FF Wide Angle

    Definitely tamron 15-30. Probably more useful focal range than 12-24. 24 is wide on FF and 30 is a lot better

    Any Excel experts?

    Actually you don't need the vlookup function. You can define a cell as assessment delivery etc and put any value in those cells then u can reference your functions to assessment etc then it will pickup the value. And do the right calcualtions

    Splitting Panorama to Multiple Orientation Panels

    I can see what you are trying to do. But I would suggest the best way is to create the three canvas from three copies of the same image. I think u are trying to reverse the panoramic process.

    What's so good about these images?

    I agree with a lot of comments before. Not particularly creative, but very good example of processes I.e. colour manipulation. But the general theme does appear to be macro and wider landscape. But I like them. I kind of do the same too. Edit: too warm tone for my likings. If I try to...

    Ultra small form factor PC's

    These little things should be fine as long as you haven't got lots (double digit) layers in Photoshop. Lightroom will function fine. My PC goes into serious heat output is when it does the Noise Reduction in DXO with its super algorithm

    Cheap 480gb SSD anyone?

    same for HDD to SSD as HDD to HDD. the only issue is that in the old days, the disks are MBR. nowadays with the new UEFI bios, the disks/SSDs can be GPT which is a royal pain in terms of swapping one disk out and put another in. with UEFI there will be boot issues as the BIOS seems to remember...

    Which rechargeable batteries (AA) to go for?

    Eneloop. I used many different brands only eneloop has lasted and kept the charge as consistent as they have. The current set I have are the white Panasonic ones. I had black ones also but 3 of them died after 3 cycles. So far the white ones have lasted over 2 years and still holds the same...

    i1 Display Pro screen calibration for Dell Monitors

    I am not sure this is the best section of the forum for such thing. But mod feel free to move it to the right section. I have an 1i display pro, which I use for my dell monitors for hardware calibration. However I don't tend to use it any other kind of times so if anyone has the dell monitors...

    Eneloop 4 pack of AA batteries (black) - 6.99 for 4 on Amazon Lightning Deals NOW

    the black ones aren't good. i had a few sets some have stopped holding charges after 3 cycles. I would highly recommend the white panasonic ones...they are slightly less capacity but much much better. holding charger for much longer period as well as much more durable during use.

    Tamron 35mm & 45mm 1.8 VC

    this does look quite interesting, obviously there to compete with sigma's 35mm 1.4A with a VC which would offer 2-3 stops in low light condition. the sharpness and bokeh from the link look very good especially the edge sharpness, looks highly impressive. interesting lens indeed.
