Thanks Richard .. It turns out my problem was something about ‘Tabs’ in the Prefs… ‘Open Docs as tabs’ .. would not allow two windows open at the same time.

Hell, I sometimes have three open so I can crossbreed a new image with parts of older ones. Thanks again. Cheers.

Anton: I’m a Macuser, so my reply may not apply … but tend to keep my old versions because there are some filters that do not transfer forward. (I have three versions on this iMac..)

I also do pretty simple work, so the results are perhaps not as critical as those of you who use Photoshop for living. Cheers.

Stephen: It is not my trade (I mfg. canvas products..) but thinking about what you said: “.. trying to turn news reporters into camera operators and editors. I wonder if we will see news reporters running around with iPhones in the not to far future.” Seems logical…

I could envision one of you with great editing skills becoming contract editors/production house for TV stations where the feed is sent to you 24/7 …and you simply clean it up ..and ready it for air. Those local feeds could be bundled and sent to the Networks like AP feeds. It’s not my business, but every business I know of is using more contractors to keep internal costs down.

Stephen: I am am about the last person who would be able to spot a ringer. Here’s a partial posting on one of the major Mac blogs (TUAW, 30 June) that may explain better. It was my source.

“Here’s another example: the Ducati motorcycle team filmed the entire commercial above on eight different iPhone 4s over a period of four days — watching it in HD shows off just what this camera is capable of.

They did use the Owle Bubo, which explains some of the better shots a little bit. And you can also see that slight shudder so common to low-end HD cameras, especially when the camera pans quickly or tries to capture fast motion. But especially without color correction, the images still look terrific for a camera on your phone. The audio is great as well, but I’m not convinced they did that with only a phone. The final video was edited together in Adobe Premiere, just because “there were enough unknowns” without trying to use iMovie on iPhone for the first time.”

… there was already a better one .. to my eye at least.

Benny: Funny you mentioned… I got some optical plexi to make a box for the Canon so it can sit on a tripod in the shallows without me worrying that it’s not WP. I only need to keep the remote in a heat-sealed, poly bag.

I take my little WP Sanyo and mount it on a tripod (sand bags to hold down) in the shallow for my kitesurf friends to ham up in front of, but want the HD.

Benny: I’ve really not had time to test it well. I have FCE but little time to mess with it.. I made one little sales promo for a product I make in iMovie ’08 that’s a couple of minutes long: it’s 960×540 ..a couple of minutes and 23megs. The quality is nothing special, but I don’t have the time at the moment to dig into using the camera as it should.

I make products for airplanes and when business is slow; I work three times as hard to hold onto it. I have had time to make a simple case for it. I’ve sold a few on Ebay.

I use iMovie ’08 ..but also have FCE and you can bring it aboard with ‘Log and Transfer’. (I’m a FCE newbie) You must ignore the warning about disconnecting the power and PC. I drag the icon to the trash ..then pull the plug. There seems to be no options. Canon seem to not like Apple.
