Oh, BTW Sam, was just flicking thru the other thread and thispost was interesting re eBay...

"Sellers can no longer leave negative or neutral Feedback for buyers.
Buyers should leave honest Feedback without the fear of receiving negative or neutral ratings"

I think it's a good thing.

Awww, he is quiet sometimes. Usually when he's sipping said coffee...

Mmm... yeah. Sometimes

Excuses, excuses... you just want to use it.

I think it's justification for a camera update

So, assuming the rain subsides to a level suitable to take photos, who's a likely candidate to show up for Sunday sunrise then?

AFAIK There's:

Primmy Ruth
Spammy Sam
D-G Dave
Trumply John
Moy (as in "look at")
Wakky Feng (if the move allows)

Who else?

Me too, If its not raining. Anyone who wants my Mobile please PM me as i can call if i wont be there.

Yeah - as long as it's heading downhill, right?

Quite likely

Oh and Ive just been playing with Adobe Illustrator. First time ive used it in a loooong time. Fiddling around making watermarks, a heck of a lot easier than in photoshop.

Really ? I've only used Illustrator once recently... can't remember exactly what for either.

Hey Dave, if you do need to send the 400D away, I'll lend you mine if you like.

Cool Thanks.

Hey, it's Dave's ute

Bah!

Hmmmm... I don't like my chances after the recent purchase.

Pfft... no way. Still have 400 something posts to go. Give it a week or a week and a half.

Dunno - reckon you'd give it a nudge.

Haven't mucked about with watermarks much, just used a separate image and the "add watermark" bit in PSPX2 to get the usual DS Willstar photog etc

Does it save that much time? Surely it can't take long to add one

Acctualy i wont come to the cliffs. 10-10.15ish at Merivale Street at the Convention Centre?

Its more about it being easier to design one in than in PS.

I have mine in a separate PSD file and just get LR Mogrify to add it on export.

Sounds like a plan. See you then.

I dunno - I didn't find illustrator that intuitive, but then I've got used to PS.

I never really got my head around designing things in photoshop. It was only ever photo work with it for me, so going with illustrator is almost like starting with a clean slate.

For straight out design work, you can't beat a vector graphics based tool (ala Illustrator or Corel Draw) but for the end product it's still a mix of vector and bitmapped......

I'll most likely still be at The Morrison (pub) at that time on Saturday, or cruising camera shops with Johnno.
