Is there anyone in the UK to who I can talk to help me with issues in my
small business?
I take digital photos, almost daily, prepare sales sheets with six to
sixteen shots on, create Pdfs from them but mainly have the final sheets

Happy New Year to all members of this Newsgroup. Where can I find

reduce to say 300ppi and A3+ size for printing (and saving?).  This will

I'm looking for recommendations for an affordable telephoto or telephoto

I bought a couple of GE 250 watt Photoflood bulbs for my light box and I love
the natural color of them. They have none of that yellow/orange cast that
regular bulbs have. However, they are too bright and they only have a max life
