Harry, there is a difference between 'cleaning up' and '****ing up'. What
you did to Tom's photo definitely falls into the latter category.


If I ever want the opinion of a tired-out, useless old f*art of no
accomplishment, I'll contact you.

By email?

Hell, I'm brave enough to discuss in public!

Here's an analogous situation for you.

The other day, I was in here pining for a real pipe organ. One of the
ranking a**holes here, guess who, suggested I should just get myself the
new Hammond B3 keyboard imitation with some sort of electronic gimmick
because it could *simulate* a pipe organ. (I am not referring to Eisboch
here, in case some snark wants to start something).

If two people suggested a 'gimmick' to you, why is one an asshole and
Eisboch not? Sounds like preferential sucking up to me!
By the way, is this live or...???

My guess would be 'live'. A bigger question would be, "Who took it, and why
are you using it?"


Because eisboch suggested it as something that would be interesting,
which it was and discussed it that way. He didn't suggest it as a
substitute for a real pipe organ. He knows the difference.

As to your second question, why, how are all your relatives, John? Are
they well? If not, why aren't you visiting them all today?

Why yes, there's been no significant changes from the last time you or JimH
asked.


I am impressed with your ability to spell out curse words I don't.

I've always wondered why you use the asterisks. Does it make you feel
'cleaner'?

Is that what you learned in your years in the Army when you couldn't get
a real job?

:}

Having never been in the military, how would you know whether or not there
are 'real jobs' therein.

Be careful, you wouldn't want to **** off any of those you 'respect' so
highly!

TriX was a
freakin' nightmare unless you had extremely fast lenses and shot wide
open all the time.



What??? Nightmare how?




I didn't know what he meant by that, either. If you were making huge
blowups, there was a grain problem, but if you didn't want the grain,
there were other great kodak films to use. Hell, I used to buy it in
100' rolls. It was fabulous film for dim light or for sports. That, a
Nikon F and an f 2.5 180mm lens and you were all set for basketball.

I had to pick up after the military. It wasn't pleasant work.

Yeah, Harry, all that raping, terrorizing, pillaging and plundering does
leave a mess. Thank God for union flacks who clean it up.

Did you do all that with your slide rule, or were you entrusted with an
HP calc?

I've

All I have to say is "Duuuuhhhhhh".
I appreciate your suggestions.
Give me a break! I spent 30 years with a Canon FTQL. I didn't have to
be a
damn IT professional to take a picture.
LOL, JohnH, I am teasing you. If you look at my photos, I have a
tendency to over sharpen them.
Then stop over sharpening them. It's a nasty effect. Nobody likes the
results. Nobody.
Not true.

I didn't bother to respond to Joe's comment seriously, because aLL digital
images need to be sharpened. jpg's are sharpened in camera. I quickly
learned that an unsharped RAW photo will look very fuzzy.


Yeah, but you knew what I meant, didn't you? I was referring to excessive
sharpening of DEFECTIVE pictures - the ones that are blurry because of
focusing problems caused by the user, or the camera's inability to deal with
a certain situation.



That is definitely a common problem, that I and others have been guilty of.
