Re: By Candlelight

Not sure this is what you're asking since it's more composition than processing, but I find it more comfortable mirrored so the boy is on the right, and (to a lesser extent) the top of the arch being so close to the edge of the frame is a little off-putting - a small bit of space above it (e.g. abou...

Re: Brecon Beacons & PS Content Aware function

We appear to have differing definitions of "successful". ;) Not using Photoshop, I haven't used Content Aware Fill specifically, but I do sometimes use equivalent functionality (and have seen the results of CAF). It can be fine in simple situations - basically where the task is nothing mor...

Re: Warning - Google Ads and Malware

Yeah, duckduckgo.com is the main URL, but ddg.gg is less typing - it usually redirects to the former, but it's currently not working for me either.

Re: Warning - Google Ads and Malware

This is just one of the reasons why Adblock Plus is one of the first things I install on a new machine - not only does it help block adverts in the first place, it also has a subscription specifically for blocking malware-laden sites (adding an extra layer of protection in addition to anti-virus sof...

Re: Croydon Culture Click Photographic Competition

There are five photos on the wall in the coridoor to the left of the "Community Space", of which one is yours, Mike. Looking at the page linked above, I guess three of the others might be the ones mentioned here: Michael’s work will be hung permanently in Croydon Council’s new home, Bernar...

Re: Sensor cleaning

I had a non-filtered blower and after a few uses it didn't do its job - just adding/moving dust rather than removing it, and I'm sure I've spoken to a few people in the past who have said similar things. I was assuming the previous praise was aimed at the filtered blowers because of that. Of course,...

Re: IMPORTANT: Adobe Hacked

Well CV2 is not supposed to be stored at all, not even in encrypted form - so for subscription payments (like Creative Cloud) it's not an option to use it. (When it's used the vendor gets charged lower processing costs, and the transaction is less likely to be flagged as suspicious, so it is general...

Re: IMPORTANT: Adobe Hacked

Simply getting a renewed card (i.e. new expiry date) isn't necessarily secure, because it's generally just adding a set period (like 40 months) to the previous date, which is simple maths. Ideally you want a new number too. The safest assumption is that any information you've given to Adobe (or they...

Re: A New Flickr

Less welcome is that the site will now be supported by advertising unless an annual fee of $49.99 is paid Or unless a certain browser plugin is installed... As for the new layout, initial impressions are not good. Way too much like Google+ and the scrollbar is broken (They've probably assumed every...
