There are 3 upcoming semi-pro DSLRs. To set in turn of cost: Sony Alpha
700 (1400 USD), Canon 40D (1500+ USD), Nikon D300 (1800+ USD). Note,
these are semi-pro cameras and can be used for professional photography.

Note, these prises are without lens. The cheapest kit lens cost about
100$ shipped with the camera. Nikon's one is more expensive due to more
quality. Sony provides 3 kit zooms: 100$ 17-70, new 16-105 and Zeiss
16-80 (set in turn both of price and quality). Nikon and Canon have

Did you do a comparison of 5D vs. 40D?

Norman, there are several possibilities for you. First, you can stick to
50 mm prime and use it most of the time. It is light, very qualitative
and fast (F1.4) or 1.7. Second, you can buy light slow zoom such as
18-200 (26-300 in 35 mm equivalent) and use it all of the time. It
provides less q
You sure discovered a nice little subculture on the Gimp mailing list,
Norman. Here are some of my thoughts.
In my opinion, if you are just interested in getting a raw image out of
the camera, buy a low-end DSLR and spend as much as you can afford on
glass. I have a Canon 350d and a 1d Mk IIn.
Hello Norman,
I will be adding my opinion to the growing pool. The Canon G9 was already
suggested earlier and it might well be a good solution for you. It is a light
compact camera, produces RAW and has a hotshoe if you want to use a flash. In
addition it has image stabilization, which might be

First you need to save it to a channel (Select->Save);
Then you can 'Save a copy' to some format like PNG, while that channel

Hello David,
Thanks for your prompt answer but I don't think you got me right.
I don't want to save the selected area of the image but rather the path (the
outline) that is given by the selection so that I can use this selection
outline to select a same area on another image.

You cannot really save the selection itself, but you can save and reuse

Sure, you must've seen it. The icon looks like a little frying pan.
It inserts rude comments into your image. ;)

I noticed that if I add a layer mask to a layer, when I right click on the
layer some of the mask options are greyed out but still work. I.e. Apply
layer mask, delete... show... edit... disable... mask to selection are all
greyed out but they will still work if I click them.
