Oh the joys of not planning properly
Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 11:21 pmThis is my celebration and gripe post all in one 
Firstly I received my birthday/christmas present to myself yesterday and have been studying the manual extremely hard trying to figure out what to tweak and how to tweak it to suit my needs. Oh the joys and headaches 12.2Mp creates
Joy because all my portrait pics turn out oh so sweet now. Disdain because Rawshooter Pro doesn't support the D2Xs and hacking the EXIF to recognise as a D2x only creates a white balance issue. Turns out Rawshooter gives me a white balance not as shot in camera
I tried to run Capture NX but it runs like a dog and I have no money to get DxO. I could just upgrade the whole computer to run Lightroom, but alas still lack of funds...well not lack of funds, just have to save up otherwise I'll be a headless groom 
Another point I might add is that now I'm running out of hdd space...fast At 19 to 20Mb per pic I need a new hdd now
So the lesson I've learnt is if you plan on upgrading something, plan ahead and consider upgrading a whole heap of other things because you never know.
On the upside, the D2 feels so so sweet and demands respect
Sorry for the long post, just things I've learned very quickly over the past 24 hours
