Continue reading →: DVD Backup
Well the world is moving on to Blu-ray and I’ll have to get one of these bad boys at some point (and replace my whole television too, the lovely 250kg monster that it is). In the meantime, backing up DVDs and so forth goes on. Here’s the workflow I use.…

Continue reading →: Which RAW converter to use? DxO 5.1?
I’ve been using DxO v4.5 with good results but the problem is that DxO 5.0 remains quite unstable.

Continue reading →: Compact Cameras
For years I’ve used the Fuji Finepix F10 which took really great pictures with 5Mpixels but most importantly was fast enough to take ISO 400 photos. That camera still works really well but is not pretty big. Ideally you want a shirt pocket camera that: * 8MP sensor and lense…
