Robert Capa - Lost Negatives Found

I see that Robert Capa's Lost Negatives from the Spanish Civil War have been found.

Having recently finished The Battle for Spain, I can't wait to see what comes from them. Lets hope this wasn't his "ones I got wrong" box!

The power of the blog

It's quite a surprise to me the huge influence this little blog can have.

First I wax lyrically about how much I like my lensbaby and what happens? Mr Lensbaby himself, Sam Perdue, comments on my blog!

Then I create a check-list for photographers and what happens? Microsoft decide it's such a good idea they want to copy it.

But now, no sooner have I waxed lyrically about how wonderful craghopper furry trousers are but they need a leg pocket, when what happens? Through the door comes a parcel containing some of the very same trouser but now with the requested pocket!

Hmmm, I think I best only use these powers for good.

You Suck at Photoshop

Danny Boyle has produced 3 rather fun video tutorials for Photoshop. Well worth a view:

• You Suck at Photoshop #1
• You Suck at Photoshop #2
• You Suck at Photoshop #3

You never know, you might even learn something :)

Giving the place a polish

Lemon ~ Limited Edition Managment ONLine, Access97 Release

I have had a couple of mails from people trying to use my Limited Edition Management System (LEMON) on Access97 and failing miserably.

For these poor souls I have created LEMON for Access 97, I hope you find it of use.

And for no apparent reason here is a picture I took in Southwark Cathedral the other day as part of my Friday Lunchtime Project:

U.S.A. Photographers Rights Guide

Photographers rights are a recurring theme on this blog, but being from the UK almost all of the information has been about UK law.

I have noticed that Attorney At Law Bert P. Krages II has an excellent one page downloadable PDF about photographers rights which should be of use to my American Friends.

How to Automatically delete Capture One V4 Cache Files

One of the regular complaints about Capture One V4 is the way it fills up your various directories with its cache and setting files. Personally I have no need to archive or back these up so I wanted a way to remove them from all the sub directories in one go.

In the end I came up with the following solution - but it only works for windows users so you chaps with nice shiny Macs will have to use something else...sorry!

Select and copy the following line:
FOR /R "c:\Working" %%a IN (CaptureOne) DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%a"

Open Notepad and paste in the text
Replace c:\working with the name of the directory where you keep your photos;
i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\My Pictures
Save the file as C1.bat on your C: drive.

Now when you double click on c1.bat in Explorer, all the Capture One temporary files will be removed as if by magic.
