Idiotic title that gives the impression that the book has been written by one of those pathetic kiddies who thinks it's 'cool' to swear. Might be a great book but I won't be buying it.

Just downloaded Gimp for Windows. Absolutely no problems with either the download, installation or spam.

It's excellent. I use it all the time and only use Photo$hop CS4 for its letteraset facilities. NX2 is even better if you install the NIK filters.

You can put Ubuntu on the same drive as Windows with no problem. Ubuntu simply sets itself up in its own directory and modifies startup such that you get a dual boot option which times out after10...

I'm very impressed by Ubuntu - easy to install as a dual-boot and even has drivers for my ageing Epson 7600, something that Epson couldn't manage for Win 7 or 8.

And don't forget the completely brilliant selection tool and U-point. Once you get past the slightly clunky interface, NX2 is as good an editor as any and is particularly powerful when used with...

According to the dictionary, it's a wet heavy clay soil that sucks you in and is almost devoid of nutrients.

RCJ is the BBC's Apple correspondent. His ramblings on the BBC website indicate that has no knowledge of software or technology. It's not surprising that he couldn't get his head round RaspPi.

He's providing free Open Source code. Stop moaning and compile it for your Mac.

Applications look and behave much the same no matter what you use. This is free Open Source software so can be compiled for MAC or Linux.

Manuel, yes I know - I was illustrating the stupidity of your comment. If you think the Nikon 1 image quality is poor then you obviously have no experience of the camera. Commenting without...

That's a weird comment Manuel. The OM-D is quite a pleasant looking camera with good lenses, although it lacks the incredible frame rate of the Nikon 1. Prices of all cameras drop after initial...

And what about fixing Photo$hop's basic problems - the crippled RH mouse control, lousy memory management, poor image overlaying and ancient toolset - before embarking on this 'innovation'?
The...

Same here. Try Nikon Capture. The Selection Pen, D-Lighting and U-Point are innovations that make Photo$hop's antiquated tools look pathetic, and the RAW processing is much better. Capture supports...

It looks as if the days of the Adobesaurus are over. Good riddance to overpriced mediocrity.

And while they're at it, perhaps the Adobe wunderkind could finally implement the RH mouse control properly, update the antiquated toolset and review the pricing of their ephemeral software.

These shots, they are OK but I can't help but think that the real artist is the one that designed the camera. Far more effort, time and thought goes into engineering design than the taking of...

I have the same setup and the same problem. Cropping to 9mp gives 600mm equiv with the 300mm lens. An alternative would be to use a Nikon 1 V1 with the 300mm lens which would give 810mm equiv at...

I have the same setup and the same problem. Cropping to 9mp gives 600mm equiv with the 300mm lens. An alternative to the D7100 would be to use a Nikon 1 V1 with the 300mm lens which would give...

This is a common misconception on this forum. The light intensity conveyed by a particular lens at the sensor is identical whether FF or half frame but a half-frame lens has a smaller image circle...
