Color correction plugin for the gimp

I was browsing around at the Gimp plugin registry and found something very interesting: a color correction plugin for the Gimp.In fiddling with it, I can see that this can actually be useful, as many of the color-correcting features are located all in one plugin, and this makes it easier...

Digital vs. 35mm shoot-out

I found an interesting write-up on Norman Koren’s website about digital versus 35mm cameras.He arrives at similar conclusions as the author of the Luminous Landscape does when it comes to the Canon D60, and backs it up with some interesting tidbits of information as well. Basically, Norman says that the...

Limitations of the C3030Z

I recently found a page on DPreview.com that shows off some of the limitations of the Olympus C3030z, the camera I currently use.Between problems like those and the fact that my camera has always had issues reading flash cards off and on, I’m really looking forward to getting a new...

Camera review

Wow. I just read a review of the Canon D60 that makes me want one of the things. It looks rather nice, and the guy suggests that the time that digital cameras can replace 35mm has now arrived. The thing is 2,000 USD, so if I was to get it,...
