As I said in another email, I either have low standards or I'm really lucky. If I'm even slightly careful about the lighting in the room when I do the post processing, the first print is a hit, more than 90% of the time. Of course, I've been editing and printing on this same rig for over four years. Everything is tweaked pretty close. Actually, I /had been/ editing and printing on the same rig for four years. Less than a month ago, my motherboard decided to retire to phenolic heaven, so I had to replace MB, CPU, main memory, and video board ... pretty much the primary guts of the system, ignoring the programs and data on the hard drive. Now I've got the major hots to build a new machine ... I think a Core 2 Duo E6750 on a DDR3 MoBo is a good start ... :-) Oh, if you're backing up your images over Ethernet, you /really/ need to spend the 10 bucks each for 1GB Ethernet cards and forty or so bucks for a matching switch ... > I used to struggle with a printer and monitor whose calibrations > didn't match. Now, I can't imagine working that way. Me, either. Actually, I /wouldn't/ work that way. I'm too lazy. :-) -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
