I'll rephrase slightly then...any sensible ideas? Steve...:)

Hi, I'm looking for a windows enabled device to take out and about with me, it must be windows (so not android) as I have a few applications I wish to use on it, it must also have GPS ability so I can also use it as a sat nav, it can be PDA, pocket pc netbook or whatever but here is the...

I've found one workaround, again using the above examples. Search for "Buttermere" when search is done, select all of them now untick the italicised keyword Buttermere in Places and delete the keyword, now tick the new keyword Buttermere in Lakes and your done. Still quite a bit of work to...

I'm attempting to "clean-up" my keyword list within adobe bridge and I have come across a snag or two. Here is a sample listing where the bold words and the main keywords and the rest are subs Places Buttermere (ticked) Windermere Keswick Cockermouth Lakes Derwentwater Thirlmere Rydal In...

I've just come back from Cockermouth and finally the main street that was a river a week ago is open to the general public, I did not take my camera. Obviously nothing is open yet but it was both heartening and saddening to be able to walk up and down the street and chat with some of the owners...

Clean up has started, residents and shopkeepers/business owners returning in Cockermouth. River still high with more rain to come, and many bridges remain closed..but the Papcastle bridge is now open (A595). Steve...:)

I think with these UI type things your just paying for the UI and a little knowledge you can get for yourself, online via google and some searching/reading. Have a look at http://www.thelightsright.com/view/tlr_tools_menu for some free B/W actions, Glenn Mitchel knows his stuff and its worth a...

I would make myself an action that opened up the iptc area just before saving so keywords or captions can be typed in, then when you ok that it carries on saves out your photo and moves to the next open shot. Steve...:)

Do you own or have you owned and used one of these lens? What are your thoughts on it, how well does it perform? I've heard mention of it being called the "plastic fantastic" or "nifty fifty" before now is it really worth its money or should I keep saving for the f1.4 50mm prime? ( its taken...

I use Hostgator for both my personal and my Forum/Gallery (2 seperate plans) Both are the "Hatchling" on this page $7.95 per/month http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml You'll struggle to find a host that matches or betters these details, especially when their uptime is pretty much 100%, in...

Anyone have one of these? Mines on the blink here (old crt screen) and we are looking to upgrade both mine and Anne's for new LCD monitors, we have read plenty of info online about them but I would like to hear from widescreen LCD monitor users and hear what they think of them. Anything we...

Its made it to AP Magazine now http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/Police_admit_they_may_have_been_overzealous_in_stopping_photographer_at_Christmas_lights_event_news_163500.html Thought I had best keep you all in the loop about the issue I reported earlier in this topic, and my main...
