I've finally made the jump across to digital photography. With a couple of weddings coming up this summer the cost of film development is just getting too much. So I've taken the leap and, in my newfound holiday status, have begun to play...
Some software problems (other than no photoshop as yet) - but I'm still working my way around this new dimension of photography
Who knew Shelob lived in my backyard?

gettin all tekalogical on us are we? very nice pics - could I pls book you for a few private sessions?
If you can't get photoshop - try a program called the Gimp at www.gimp.org
ever tried gimp before? it might tide you over till you purchase photoshop...
or you may be shocked with it's goodness that you wont want to use anything else...

Am looking forward to seeing the digitalised photos. It will be interesting to hear you compare??? What camera is it?
Thanks guys! Jeff, as always i've followed your lead. Got the new Canon 350d - that way most of my lenses from the film SLR will transfer across. Unfortunately the wide angle lens and the flash won't :( - but plenty to work with.
Are you using Photoshop? which version? (and yes Bootsy and Darren I will check out gimp)
[reminder to self: don't wear black and yellow to the wedding, and remember to shave your legs...]
i've tried gimp. it did a lot, but i found it quite un-intuitive and tricky to use... but then my mind works differently to most...
there's no need to respond to that.
I just use MS Office Picture Manager - am I a total loser??? Works for me...
johno
just get photoshop. you can buy academic. there is no other way. believe me.
Gimp is a background character in Lord of the Rings (likewise on my computer). Supposedly helpful, but just you try to find someone who hasnt lost a finger...
actually, you've inspired me to dust off the Olympus OM-2n and bugger the digital era! (I thought you were digital already.... I am completely ignoring references to Canon.... )
