Jonathan …just picking up on your comment about your whites not being bright, in this example it’s merely the fact you haven’t set the max white for the image. There’s a lot of dead space to the right of the histogram…… Click here to comment on this image. Simply resetting the white point in Levels will significantly lift your image. The only warning is that you don’t want to blow out the highlights or you lose definition. In this case adjusting BOTH the highlight and gamma are recommended. Bring the white point CLOSE to the right end of the histogram, then move the gamma to get a bit more white contribution in the midtones, THEN darken the black point to get back some contrast…..

Now that way of photography does have challenges and virtues of its own,and providing the Mfgrs. continue supporting by offering the goodies required, then it will probably be around for a long time to come. I mean to remember that photography was Not accepted as an artform until early 1930´s in the USA, and not until the 1950`s in EUROPE ,I still meet those who consider Digital as Not being art, but accept Film photography as so, Indeed , a true photog is someone who uses film. Due to it being a complicated medium of different demands ,it does force the photog. to be more attentive to workflow,which in turn will offer rewards in satisfaction of self,and a deeper understanding of what makes a good picture. In real terms, its a very small step from film photography to digital photography. I personally think anyone who draws a line between the two in terms of art, is missing the whole meaning of art. ____________________ Eric

Graham Whistler wrote: My car insurance has just gone from £500 to £700 I think because I turn 84 this year? Wendy is named driver but is not quite 80 yet so it is just my age causing rise in premium. My insurance company knows I have no history of accidents for over 40 years now with them. Insurance has gone up 30-40% this year. My existing insurer declined to quote this year. So I did a new quote excluding Jan as a named driver. they quoted this time and it came back significantly lower. The only explanation could be was they didn't want an 80+ named driver. There is no doubt the number of insurers prepared to quote, drop off the older you get. I struggled to get my Dad car insurance over 90. ____________________ Eric
