old shapeOk. When I view images taken on my Canon 30D in Canon’s own Digital Photo Professional application they appear sharper, crisper and generally better IQ than when viewed in windows explorer or even Photoshop. Is it something to do with colour profiles?
There are many potential reasons. Canon S/w Canon Camera……Canon know the flaws of their camera kit and build S/w to overcome them…perhaps?
The compression on Windows Explorer etc. will also be large, in order to show the pictures faster. Try MS office Picture Manager, IMO it is the best JPEG “Quick” viewer, it has a zoom function slider and that zoom stays in place for each picture. The basic editing functions on it are OK for snaps too.
Also, the Canon S/w could well be sharpening the image at loading. The default sharpening on the Canon DPP RAW CR2 viewer is set at 4 (Out of 10) and I always null that and do my own sharpening later in CS2, after I’ve converted the Raw to a Tiff.
It could be the workspace profiles, after much messing about, I now leave all my kit and settings to the sRGB default. I then know exactly where I am and know that if I don’t like a print then I know it isn’t the profile(s).
Are you using Raw, or Jpeg high?
old shapeSuperb!
Nicely tooled-up Typhoon too.
old shapeIf the concept works, I’m sure somebody will (Now) get funding to prove it can be done in a car. Then, the oil cartel will buy the patent and we’ll never see it again. Like the ever lasting battery – invented in 1949 wasn’t it? The patent lies in a vault in (I think but don’t quote me) Ever Ready HQ. Or whatever Ever Ready are called these days.
And, who will fund the Osmosis power plant engine? A large tube of freshwater dropped in the sea. The tube is the membrane, the process will force the column of water in the tube upwards, thus giving great pressure which can be harnessed. Last time I did a fag-packet calculation, the tube needs to be 100 metres diameter and 500 metres deep. erm, to coin a phrase….”We’re going to need a bigger boat”.
Oh, and to fill the tube with fresh water needs a large pump, using electric from some other source.
My point being that only money prevents the ideas working.
If we had a cold war again, and Russia declared “That within one decade we will supply the world with almost free electricity” I’m sure a large body like NASA would be formed and trillions of research money would be found.
But there isn’t, and it probably wont.

old shapeWhat’s with the red rash?
Nothing offends me (Apart from child abuse or other such like), I was just pointing out that almost can be turned around into being not PC.

old shapeI like them.
The spits are under exposed because the camera has read the whole frame and most of it is sky.
The later sky shot is OK because the silver belly is approcimately the same colour temperature as the sky.
old shapeNope, because I can’t make head or tail of what you’ve just posted.
Try again (later) in the morning….. :diablo:
(a), you PC’d my post, removing words that may offend although most of the UK uses them.
(b) So, your warning to me makes no sense to anybody now picking up on the thread.
(c) You wrote “Funny hats”, well we all know what you mean, and wearers of those hats may be a bit put off by it. (They could of course retort with “Not as funny as a baseball cap on backwards, chav style”)
(d) Your signature is a tribute to the Goons song. The Goons, and most of our other national treasures from the Armed Forces Entertainment circles of Wartime / National Service days frequently took the mickey out of the Chinese or Indian or any of the other people we once ruled, in the Empire days.

old shapeSo are you trying to tell us that because some plank called you a ‘milky bar’ – which, to be honest with you, is a new one on me – that makes it perfectly OK to regard people as inferior beings just because their skin is a different colour, or just because they wear funny hats and have big bushy beards?
Think very hard before answering…..
Oh, and old shape? Be careful what you wish for, mate.
The last part of this post makes zero sense now you’ve PC’d my post.
Oh, you can’t say funny hats…….and, the Ying Tong song is a mickey take of the Chinese, which of course was a frequent thing with the Goons and a lot of the other ITMA/Forces radio etc. but it is quite acceptable from them, they were classics after all. We had National Service and an Empire then. Empire, Oh my God….that’s the source of ALL the trouble. Can’t say Empire, it involves the Union Flag.
See the problems it all brings?

old shapeLook good. Would like to see a picture of the whole aircraft to gauge how they look on a large plane.
They look big. They are big. By an aerodynamic quirk, the 767 winglets will be bigger (Surface area and spanwise length) than the ones planned to retrofit the 777. The 747 already has the old design kinked winglet, so recertifying another one would be quite a cost……but in these days of fuel costs it may become worth it. The Blended winglets from APB are between 6 and 10% better on fuel economy, the Airbus style “Fences” are perhaps hitting 2 or 3%, but only as a vortex drag reducer. APB’s beautiful blended winglets reduce drag and add other aerodynamic properties. I say beautiful because some of the privately owned 737’s have had them put on so that they look good and modern. We have appropriately called these Blinglets!
old shapeNot only is PC a joke gone wrong, passed over in the late 70’s from the old colony of merkin land, but it is doing more damgage than good. “You can’t say that because he has a turban” actually ENFORCES the fact that a turban in middle England is very different.
My lad (5 yo) asks the obvious questions about people from other countries in “Different” dress codes, I just tell him exactly what it is. I never say “Don’t stare, or don’t say X or Y”.
If I tell a black joke to my black friends, they retort with a white joke that is just as funny or better. It’s called normal.
99% of the PC garbage is invented by a pathetic bunch that ASSUME they have the right to speak up for the minority groups, that assumption itself is an insult to the intelligence of those very groups. If I try and speak for my missus I’d soon get put in my place!
“Gordon Brown is a waste of white skin and is an insult to Scotland and the Scots”. There, racist? No, I’m white, he’s white. If he was Black and I said waste of black skin, the mods would make noises and give me a red card. It’s all gone stupid.
At least there is a return of real comedy and good old jokes about all the usual minorities are back in vogue, hopefully it will kill off the PC brigade.

old shapeThey only left the UK factory 10 days ago, they’ve glossed them and liveried them and now fitting. When were the pictures taken (Exact date if you know please).
They are retrofit by design, BTW.
