    Photo Editing Software

    I would guess it will come with software, maybe you can even get the software from the Canon website to start playing about with. Past that I would seriously consider lightroom, just had a quick look at it after posting and it seems a lot of software for the money and very easy to use. :)

    Photo Editing Software

    I personally have Photoshop but it is far from cheap even with the new pay monthly option. There is a program called GIMP which is absolutely free and is very feature packed but also probably quite complicated if you don't really use that sort of software. I suppose it depends what you want to...

    Perfect exposure for the entire image?

    Thanks for clearing that up, being honest I haven't tried much HDR, I did a few with shots where I was just trying to darken or lighten small sections, but as you point out there wasn't that much in it to start. I can see how a bright day could really make this a problem.

    Perfect exposure for the entire image?

    For the HDR method, instead of taking a number of images can this be done with one RAW image and then adjusted on the computer to produce the required range, for each part of the picture. This may even be the only option if you didn't have a flash OR a tripod. Just thinking out-loud.

    monitor calibration ????

    Your problem will be down to calibration, as said above your brightness is probably too high, although one thing you should consider is that a laptop screen naturally shows differences in colour depending on the viewing angle. I am not sure how well colour calibration would work for this. In...

    Any website builders more flexible than Zenfolio?

    I understand, this was all I could find that would possibly help, unfortunately we only do custom stuff so I have no experience with anything similar. I know wordpress could be made to do it and has plugins for most of the features and endless themes/templates, but would probably lack the built...

    Any website builders more flexible than Zenfolio?

    I have no direct experience with Zenfolio (sorry) but looking at the site they seem to have quite an array of designs, do they not allowed any template edits to the code which would give you more freedom? I know some systems would allow you to amend code and css to change the look of the site...

    Opinions on website (please)!

    Hey, it is nice and clean, I wouldn't of used frames for it though, you could have achieved the same sideways scrolling in a div element or using javascript for a smoother effect. Although if it is purely to send as a hard link to clients this might be a none issue, but if you actually want to...

    Who's the best ISP provider?

    You say quickest but your upload is nearly half what mine is on BT so surely if you do a lot of uploading, images, files etc then that would be an important consideration?

    Who's the best ISP provider?

    I have BT Infinity and also have a Sky Connection. I have no problems with either company (Been with BT over a year and Sky for about 3 or 4) and on the occasion I have contacted BT I got a UK call centre although I will admit I wasn't aiming for support. I would stay clear of TalkTalk I was...

    opinions on this beginner studio set?

    That explains why they were not in stock when I checked today :-) would be interested in your thoughts on them too, I am torn between these and the 300's

    OK. How much for a Website Tweaking?

    As a last contribution to the thread. a lot of emphasis seems to be being placed on how much a designer charges as a method of qualifying them. If there is one good thing about the design industry it is that in most cases it is easy to see if a designer is capable by viewing their previous...

    OK. How much for a Website Tweaking?

    Just to answer the Carl's question on the navigation, the reason people don't like it and what makes it hard to use is the fact it is not obvious and therefore not user friendly. The links don't become apparent until you mouse over which in a user friendly world wouldn't be the case. You should...

    Guestbook

    Are you looking for something you host on your own website, in which case what type of code does your hosting support? (php, asp etc) Otherwise if you are looking for a hosted solution you can just link to. A search on google turned up quite a few.
