Jessops to focus on ‘customer service’ l Store shake up planned

Jessops pledges to boost customer service SNAP

J
ESSOPS may ‘relocate’
some of its 213 shops Exclusive
as part of a profit-
making plan that aims to
boost customer service
at its stores nationwide.
This year looks set to
be a crucial year for the
photographic chain, which
was delisted from the Stock
Exchange in January, five
months after a financial
rescue deal with its bank.
In September, Jessops’
main operating company was
sold to a new firm called Snap prudent to move a store to
Equity Ltd, 47% of which is
owned by HSBC.
However, on the road to
profit CEO Trevor Moore
said it may be necessary
to ‘relocate’ unprofitable
stores or those with little
growth potential.
With that in mind, he has
armed himself with a list of
20-30 stores, the leases
for which are due to expire
this year.
‘With every lease that
comes up for renewal I need
to look at each business
in isolation and make a
decision,’ he said.
Moore explained that
he will assess whether it is
interview
another location nearby –
where there is greater sales
potential – or shut up shop
and open a new store in a
different area entirely.
The decision, he explained,
will not be based purely on
current profit but also on
business forecasts for the
store in question and its
investment needs.
But, he insisted: ‘There is
absolutely no closure plan.’
Asked if he could rule
out further store closures,
Moore said: ‘Broadly
speaking, at the end of this
year I would expect to have
a not dissimilar number.’
Moore, whose retail career
has included jobs at the
Thresher Group and Coffee
Republic, made clear that his
timetable contains no plan to
‘double the size of the estate’.
Moore said he will do
whatever it takes to turn the
business around – to be
driven through a programme
of service and ‘innovation’.
In the past Jessops
has been criticised for its
customer service and a
lack of product knowledge
among its staff.
A large part of Moore’s
money-making plan will
involve a nationwide training
programme designed to
boost service from store staff,
up to senior management
and ‘board level’.
He said Jessops has
committed a ‘substantial
six-figure sum’ to the project,
which aims to train more than
1,500 staff before May.
This, he promised, will
include ‘one-to-one’ training
for new recruits so store
staff are fully briefed on the
products they are selling.
He admitted that Jessops
must achieve a ‘higher
consistency of customer
service across the board’
and that some stores have
delivered ‘variable results’
in the past.
Moore is championing
‘advice for life’, the slogan
emblazoned across the front
of Jessops’ New Oxford
Street store in London.
‘I am absolutely service
focused,’ he told us.
‘Great service sells… As
a specialist producer, what
we have to do is have the
right range of products… but
we have to present them
through people who really
know and understand how
to talk to people.’

‘Instilling fear’
American transport chiefs
have sparked controversy
by displaying signs asking
rail commuters to report
‘excessive photography’
to authorities. However,
the Chicago Transport
Authority fails to spell out
what constitutes excessive
photography, reports the
NBC website. ‘The fact is,
photography is not a crime,
and the CTA needs to stop
treating it as such,’ writes
Matt Bartosik. ‘They are not
enforcing safety; they’re
instilling fear.’
Bailey pledge
Legend David Bailey has
pledged never to give up
working as a photographer.
He told The Daily Telegraph
recently: ‘I don’t know what
else to do… It’s not work
anyway.’ He was speaking
ahead of a selling exhibition
of his work at Bonhams (7
March to 7 April), called Pure
Sixties. Pure Bailey.

11.6% fewer cameras in 2009
compared to the year before, but
DSLR shipments shone through

plummeted. Total camera
shipments totalled 105.9m, down
more than 13.1 on 2008, according

shipments of DSLRs and Micro

grew 2.8% to 16.1m units. CIPA
forecasts a 3.8% rise in camera
shipments for 2010. A spokesman
said: ‘Of particular note is the
expectation of conspicuous
growth in categories such as
digital SLR cameras with
interchangeable lenses for
markets outside Japan, with

Website
www.ipag.co.uk
The Independent Photographers Art Group (IPAG) was founded a couple of
years ago when two like-minded photographers with a passion for black & white
landscape photography decided to join forces and set up a small photography
group. Based in Kendal, Cumbria, the IPAG now has ten members who use a
range of film and digital processes in both monochrome and colour.
The aim of the group is to promote photography as an art form, and share
knowledge, skills and ideas. Collaborative and individual work are encouraged,
and each member has his or her own profile on the website showcasing a
selection of their images. A quick click through shows the diversity of subject
matter. From David Ward’s intriguing still-life images to Carol Baker’s colourful
abstracts, the range of photographic interests is notable. The group
meets informally once a month and also holds regular workshops,
seminars and field trips. IPAG members will be exhibiting their
work at Abbot Hall Art Gallery in Cumbria until 8 May. Visit
www.abbothall.org.uk for more information. Gemma Padley

As we hurtle ever faster into the digital age, it is comforting
to see photographers who are still working with film.
Scottish-born Steve Macleod is creative director at Metro
Imaging in London, but he also takes landscape images. In
this project Steve has used a 5x4in field camera to create
a number of mysterious and atmospheric large-format
pictures. Around ten of these prints will go on show at the
Atlas Gallery next month.
Taking the landscape that surrounds the Blackwater River
in Essex as his subject, Steve set out to record the seasonal
changes and shifting light of this area through his lens. The
detail in these images is breathtaking. In one, light glows
through dense woodland illuminating intricate leaf detail,
while elsewhere frost-tipped branches are entwined like
lace. Taking advantage of the camera’s movements, Steve
often blurs parts of his compositions, creating images that
drift in and out of focus. Ethereal, magical and tranquil
to look at, Steve’s images are a reminder of the timeless
quality of these marvellous cameras.

I have been a reader of AP for many
years, but seldom feel the need to
express my views in print. However,
I feel it is time to congratulate the
magazine on the stance it has taken
over the photographers’ rights issue.
We live in a democratic country and
what purports to be a free society, yet
there seems to be an insidious process
in train to erode our liberties. In the
case of photography, it is a hobby I
enjoy along with countless thousands
of others, yet it seems you can fall foul
of the law for taking perfectly innocent
photographs. Undoubtedly there is a
terrorist threat to some degree, as has
been evidenced by 9/11, plus bombs
in London and elsewhere; however,
if we succumb to the terrorists by
limiting people’s legitimate activities,
who is the winner?

has received appears to have to
have borne fruit, and hopefully

I was enchanted by the depth of this
scene, so I wanted to make the most
of it. I decided to use the conifer in
the centre as my main subject, as its
colour, shape and size made it stand
out distinctly from the surrounding
trees. In front of it was a sort of
wooden box that was covered in snow
(bottom-left corner of the frame),
situated next to another large conifer.

between this box and conifer, setting
my focal length to 28mm in order
to capture their edges in my frame.

HE Cotswolds is a wonderful

landscape offers stunning views of
the surrounding countryside. The
region, whose name means ‘sheep

for its sloping landscape where, on
the northern and western edges,
steep escarpments look onto the
Severn Valley and the Warwickshire
Avon. I love shooting here for its wide,
dramatic vistas, and when a local hotel

I happily agreed.
What’s amazing to me about this
picture is that I shot it in late afternoon.

All I then had to do was lighten the

apply some masking in Photoshop.
I also used my raw-conversion

Talking technique Variations

The Color Balance tool in Photoshop is best for tweaking the overall colour cast of an image rather
than rectifying certain areas within the picture. The effect of the Color Balance tool (Image>
Adjustments>Color Balance) is more subtle than when using Curves or Hue/Saturation.
Unless you are dealing with difficult lighting, best results can usually be achieved by making
adjustments to the midtones. Before you begin, remember to tick the Preserve Luminosity box,
as this will keep your image from getting brighter while you make adjustments.
Making adjustments in Color Balance is very much a trial-and-error affair. A few clicks too
many in one direction will make a significant change. Knowing whether to boost the red or
bring down the green can be frustrating, so a helpful starting point can be to select Image>
Adjustments and click on the Variations option at the bottom of the drop-down menu. You will
then see a selection of different versions of your image with colour adjustments from each of its
six options on the Color Balance tool, as well as versions of how it will look if lighter or darker.
Looking at the image below, it was clear right away that the image with more cyan looked the
best (see right), so this became the logical starting point for making adjustments. In the end, a
slide towards cyan and a slight boost in green and blue gave a more balanced effect.

Blenheim has a lot of farmland, so

I was drawn to this scene by the
symmetrical pattern created by the
long shadows on the snow. I also
liked the fact that the sheep were
interested in what I was doing.
I originally shot this as a portrait, but I
ended up cropping it because the trees
weren’t particularly interesting. As it
was winter, the tops were bare and left
a lot of blank space at the top of the
frame. The sky was also very dull, so it
was clear to me that all the action was
happening at the bottom of the frame.
I was careful to separate the trees
from each other. I don’t like trees
overlapping within the frame. To me,
if they were any closer to each other,
I don’t think the picture would have
worked compositionally.

 Magnum Photographer Inge Morath
W
heN you think of
photojournalism from long ago,
do you immediately think in
colour or black & white? Perhaps Robert
Capa’s heroic war images or W eugene
Smith’s photo essays spring to mind. Yet
while photojournalists of the 1950s and
’60s were capturing events in black & white,
they were also documenting life in colour.
Inge Morath photographed in both black
& white and colour from the beginning of
her career. She produced a phenomenal
number of photographs, but much of her
colour work lay undiscovered for many
years. Most published collections of her
work featured predominantly black & white
images, with very little of her colour work
being shown during her lifetime.
Determined to get to the bottom of the
mystery surrounding Inge’s displaced colour
photography, John Jacob, curator at the Inge
Morath Foundation, set out to track down her
‘lost’ colour images in 2007. The result is the
recently published book First Color, featuring
a selection of Inge’s colour work. While not
intended to be a complete record of her
colour work – an almost impossible task, says
John – the book sheds light on Inge’s working
methods and provides a fascinating historical
look at colour photojournalism.
Mammoth task
Recovering the images was a mammoth
task that involved searching through
thousands of colour slides from the Magnum

archives. At Magnum, colour transparencies
were stored in a different way to black &
white negatives. While the black & white
negs were carefully marked with the
photographer’s name and photo story to
preserve the integrity of the photographer,
the colour slides were simply filed under
‘themes’ and fell into stock. Some 15,000
of Inge’s colour images were separated from
their original picture stories and ‘lost’ in the
system in this way.
‘When we started this project, there
was no means of accessing the colour
images to get this material back,’ says
John. ‘No index system existed. To identify
all Inge’s images stored by Magnum
would require staff to remember what
had been filed where and these people
have moved on. We may never know
the full scope of the colour archive.’
Faced with such a daunting task, John
and his team limited themselves to
searching only the 1950s and ’60s archives.
Realising the way the colour images had
been stored would make it difficult to locate
and piece together the photo stories in their
entirety, their aim was to retrieve as many
images as they could and retrace – as far
as possible – Inge’s movements as a colour
photographer during this period.
‘We had to find a way to put the images
together that would reflect the way Inge
worked,’ says John, ‘so we decided to order
the images chronologically and use the
places she’d visited as the basis for the book.’
www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com
Inge’s background
Before joining Magnum in the early 1950s,
Inge worked with ernst haas as a researcher
and editor on picture stories for magazines
such as Life. She assisted henri Cartier-
Bresson and travelled all over the world
photographing the people and places she
encountered. After the 1960s, Inge pursued
more personal projects with her husband,
the playwright Arthur Miller, continuing to
shoot in both black & white and colour.
‘During the 1950s and ’60s, Inge was sent
on many assignments’ says John. ‘One of her
first assignments was in Spain, a country she
returned to several times. She travelled there
with Cartier-Bresson in 1953 to photograph
Picasso for Holiday magazine and formed
a close friendship with him. Inge did a lot of
research before each trip, but looking at her
work there is no agenda. She would enter
the culture of a place and into the lives of
the people – her subject was people.’
Jinx Rodger, widow of founding Magnum
member George Rodger, knew Inge well
and worked with her in Paris in the early
1950s. ‘Inge was a busy lady and travelled
a lot,’ she says. ‘She was very bubbly and
enthusiastic. People warmed to her. When
she was an assistant, I remember her saying
how she wanted to do something on her
own, away from other photographers.’

subscribe 0845 676 7778
 Inge Morath Magnum Photographer

scepticism and even distrust. ‘There was

a wider cultural prejudice towards colour,’
says John. ‘Colour film was new and people
didn’t trust it – many photographers felt
they didn’t know the film the way they
knew black & white. There was a lack of
confidence – not in their abilities, but in
the actual film as a medium.’
Magazines may have wanted colour
images, but colour was not seen as an
art form, as Jinx remembers. ‘The idea
of photography being “art” is a much
more recent concept,’ she says. ‘The
purpose of photography was to document,
to show the world what the world was
about. It was expensive to make a good
colour print and while Inge loved using
colour, like other photographers of the
period she wasn’t overly concerned
about making colour prints’.
Capa encouraged Magnum
photographers to shoot in colour to meet
the demand from magazines, but there
was a sense, both within and outside of
Magnum, that colour was inferior or less
important than black & white. ‘It’s often the
case that what’s popular is what’s scorned,’
says John. ‘But whatever prejudices may
have existed, the photographers didn’t pay
any less attention to colour – they were
professional. They didn’t suddenly become
any less competent because they were
working in colour.’

Henri Cartier-Bresson
One photographer who was reluctant to
embrace colour film was Henri Cartier-
Bresson. As Inge knew him well, did the
fact that she was working closely with him
influence her opinion of colour?
‘Inge and Henri must have spoken about
photography, but I don’t think they would
have discussed colour film specifically,’
says John. ‘Henri’s opinions on colour
photography had an impact on all the
photographers at Magnum. He had a
passion for surrealism, and both he and Inge
were interested in the world and how art
and photography fitted into it. That is most
likely how they influenced each other.’
Jinx’s views echo those of John. ‘Henri
didn’t like to take colour images, so I doubt
they would have spoken about colour
photography,’ she says. ‘He preferred
working in black & white – that was his
medium. Some photographers see the
world in black & white and some see in Top: Reno, the other trying not to think of both at the with who knew her – for example, Jimmy

framed by photography.’
Inge may never have set out to
create abstract images, but there
are slight elements of surrealism in some
of her work. In the image ‘Reno, Nevada,
USA, 1960’ (see page 25), a woman is
pictured driving, framed by another car
in the foreground. This ‘frame within the
frame’ technique gives the photograph a
graphic appearance and causes the viewer
to feel as though they are present in the
scene, looking through the window as the
photographer presses the shutter. Ernst
Haas, with whom Inge worked closely, was
known for his abstract compositions. Could
he have influenced her in some way?
‘Inge was, to some extent, influenced
by Ernst and his experiments in colour,
but she didn’t work in an abstract way like
he did,’ says Jinx. ‘I think she felt if you
photographed in colour you could faithfully
show how the scene looked at the time.
She worked hard to make sure the colours
were genuine.’

Colour and composition

Founding Magnum photographer Robert
Capa is reported to have said that the Above: Market,
first rule was ‘lots of colour where colour Mexico, 1959
is’ and Inge herself believed ‘colour has
to be there’ to photograph it. ‘Inge used Left: Shop
colour very skilfully,’ says John. ‘In her early window,
images she sought out colourful subjects London, 1954
in the urban landscape. By the later
images – those taken on her trips to Iran,
for example – colour became an intrinsic
part of the scene, integrated into her entire
photographic process.’
One especially striking image is ‘Market,
Mexico, 1959’ (see right, top). In the
background, brightly coloured scarves
cascade over one another while silhouetted
figures shuffle inconspicuously past in the
foreground. These shadowy figures cut
such a dramatic shape against the colourful
backdrop that it is impossible not to question
whether the composition would have had
the same impact if it had been taken in black
& white. ‘To me this picture is entirely about
the colour,’ says John. ‘Many of Inge’s other
pictures use colour to relay a narrative, but
this picture is based so heavily on form and
colour it becomes the story in itself.’

Where next?
One thing is clear: if the Foundation
is to continue to piece together Inge’s
photographic legacy, there is more work
to be done. ‘We have only scratched
the surface,’ says John. ‘There must be

HE ‘best’ war photographs –
those that achieve iconic
status – both sum up a
particular conflict and comment on
war in general in a single emotionally
powerful image. Photographs such
as Robert Capa’s ‘Loyalist Militiaman
at the Moment of Death’ (1936),
Don McCullin’s ‘Shell-Shocked
Soldier’ (1968) and Nick Út’s
‘Napalm Attack’ (1972) have all
given dramatic insights into front-
line combat. Images like these have
often helped turn public opinion
decisively against particular wars.
Don McCullin, writing about war
photography in The Guardian in
1993, said, ‘It is the photographer’s
job to show some of [the horror of
war], to say: this is the real war, this
is what it’s like on the ground, this is
what war does to you. That job has
been becoming increasingly difficult
ever since the US decided that the
media had lost the war in Vietnam
for them.’ Since that war ended,
governments have increasingly
restricted photographers’ access to
war zones and reserved the right to
censor the results.
The 1991 Gulf War created a new
benchmark in reporting restrictions,
and the images photographers
were allowed to publish were strictly
controlled. At the time of the war,

‘While out in the field I got wind
that much of the TV coverage was

in which big technology was being
used but that no human life, and
particularly not American life, was at
risk. It became clear to me that it was
going to be very difficult for me to
document the reality of the war.’ Later,
Turnley joined an elite MASH (mobile
army surgical hospital) unit, which, by
chance, didn’t have a public affairs
officer attached to it.
After the fierce bombing raids of
Operation Desert Storm and the later
Allied invasion of Iraq on 24 February
1991, the brief but devastating war
was coming to an end. During one
of the final battles, Turnley was on
board a military helicopter when it
picked up the three-man crew of a
Bradley Fighting Vehicle. It had taken
a direct hit in a missile attack that was
later revealed as ‘friendly fire’. The
vehicle’s driver, Andy Alaniz, was killed
instantly and had been carried into
the helicopter in a body bag; the two
surviving men, who included Sergeant
Ken Kozakiewicz, were both wounded
and disorientated.
Turnley watched as a medical staff
member handed Alaniz’s identity tag
to the Sergeant. He photographed
the moment that Kozakiewicz, seen in
the picture on the left of the frame on
page 28, realised that his friend and
comrade was dead and began to cry.

 Expert advice, help and tips from AP Editor Damien Demolder
Westward Ho! Original
Steve Luckham
Canon EOS 350D, 10-22mm,
1/2sec at f/25, ISO 100

Steve has captured a beautiful scene,

where the sun is very low in the sky
over the sea, and the sea is giving
us wonderful reflections of dramatic
clouds. One of the great things about
this type of picture is that when you
get the exposure right for the sky,
you get a lot more drama in the
reflections in the water because
it’s so much darker. To help boost
that effect, I’ve opened up the Levels
tool in Photoshop and darkened
the midtones a little to add some After Levels adjustment
more drama to the sea, but without
going over the top (see picture second
from top). However, I couldn’t decide
on what level to set the saturation,
so I’m showing two versions of the
same shot.
The first of the two versions has an
extra 15 points of Saturation added,
which has given us quite a dramatic
peach colour in the sky (see picture
third from top). It might be a bit too
much for some people’s tastes, and
for others it might make the picture.
In the other version (bottom right)
I have reduced the Saturation from
the original position, again by about
15 points, which has created a much
more subtle image that will probably +15 Saturation
be easier to live with if you are looking
at the picture a lot. Really, though, it’s
a question of personal taste, and as it’s
Steve’s picture I’ll let him decide.
It’s a lovely shot, full of atmosphere.
My only criticism would be that the
clouds in the foreground, which are
cut in half by the bottom of the frame,
are a bit distracting and somehow
make the picture a little less accessible
than it could be. Steve could have
eliminated the clouds from the final
image by either zooming in a little
or waiting for them to drift out of

Damien’s edit
Boy and columns David Leatherdale
Canon EOS 5D, 24-105mm, 1/500sec at f/11, ISO 400
This picture of a boy walking through a colonnade is
one of those architectural shots where everything
is regular and follows a pattern, apart from one
element that breaks it up. In this case it’s the boy.
This is a fantastic setting that David has chosen,
and in difficult circumstances he has produced a
good exposure with a graphic silhouette effect but
with some separation between the dark tones of the
structure and the ground. There is also some detail
in the boy’s face and in his clothes.
The main issue I have with this picture, though, is
that to be truly effective and have maximum impact
it needs to be geometrically square and straight, but
unfortunately it isn’t. The pillars are leaning a little to
the left at the top of the frame, and there is some
heavy pincushion distortion, but there are a few
things we can do. First, I’ve taken the picture into the
lens-correction area in Photoshop and straightened
out the pincushion distortion by adding some
barrelling. I’ve then rotated the image and used the
Distortion tool to bring in the two top corners so that
the pillars will be straightened.
What we’re left with is an image that’s straight,

David’s original After rotation
Cardoon seed heads
Genevieve Jane Leadley
Fujifilm FinePix S5800
These alien, space-like cardoons look very peculiar,
like a weapon you might have used in medieval
times against invading knights. Genevieve has done
very well to identify them as an interesting subject.
Also, as they tend to grow quite tall, she was able to
capture a view from underneath, which only makes
them even more peculiar and abstract.
Genevieve has converted her picture to black &
white and colour-toned it with a warm sepia feel; I
think it adds to the mystery of the subject. Possibly,
one of the reasons she decided to do this was
because the sky is not very interesting, and she
reckoned that by taking the colour away completely
and then adding a warm tone we wouldn’t notice.
Unfortunately, it is still noticeable. Although it has
given us a clear outline of the uppermost thistle
head, the lower one does not have such clarity as
its edges are obstructed by leaves and other foliage
poking up into it, not to mention the stem of the
upper thistle head rising from its top. So although
these cardoon seed heads are well-chosen subjects,
and they’ve been photographed from an interesting
angle, the composition is nevertheless a bit messy. It
would have been better to use the plain background
to best effect to isolate the heads completely, or to
not use it at all and instead use the other foliage as
a background. When taking this kind of picture you
must be very careful about what else is visible in the
frame, and make sure there are no distractions.
It’s definitely worth Genevieve trying this shot
again, possibly in a studio environment with a simple
setup of some window light and a clean white
background. I think it would give her some very
effective pictures.
but with lots of space around the
picture where it’s been rotated
and distorted (see top right).
Normally I would just crop these bits off, but in
this case it didn’t leave enough space at the
bottom of the picture for the boy to be comfortably
walking on the ground rather than on the edge of
the frame. So, as the edges next to the missing
areas are black or very darkly toned, it was easy
instead to use the Clone tool to colour in those
areas, giving us a bigger picture and a nice amount
of space around the subject. The final thing I did
was tweak the saturation a little to give the blue
sky a bit of a boost.
What I think we’re left with is the picture that
David had in mind when he took the shot, and it’s
a very effective idea. However, when, as in this
picture, you are relying on the simplicity of lines and
a structure to make your image, it is desperately
important to get everything as straight as possible,
otherwise the pattern can be lost in bowed edges.
Nevertheless, I think David has taken a brilliant shot,
and that’s why it is my picture of the week.

Swann MDV-450
Action Camera £79.99

M
EASURING just under 9cm long and housed in a metal casing
that makes it look like a small torch, the Swann MDV-450 Action
Camera enables sports enthusiasts to capture images or video no
matter what activity they participate in.
The Action Camera, which is powered by a built-in Lithium-Ion battery that is charged via
USB, is simple to operate. There are only two switches on the camera, with one turning the
camera on while the other starts video recording or takes a single photograph.
Video capture resolution is 640x480 VGA with videos saved in AVI format. The camera
has a three-million-pixel resolution, producing images 2048x1536 pixels. Around one
hour of video or up to 2,000 images can be saved on the 2GB Micro SD card that is
included with the Action Camera.
However, it is the included accessories that help to give the camera its name. A suction-
cup holder allows you to stick the camera to a hard surface, such as a window or even a
car, while a bar attachment lets you attach the camera to a bicycle, go-kart or anything
else with a tubular frame. Yet perhaps the most fun accessory is the harness that
allows you to wear the camera on your head for an eye-level view
of whatever activity you are doing.
The image quality from the camera is
quite poor, even for a three-million-pixel
camera. Video quality is reasonable,
and the image and sound quality are
about as good as video recorded on a
decent mobile phone.
As a video device, the Action Camera The Action Camera is
is great fun and a good way to capture great for video, but not
interesting video footage, but for photographs recommended for

The smallest aperture

Paul Lock asks I have a Canon EOS 50D that
maintains its ability to autofocus with lenses that
have a maximum aperture of at least f/5.6. Is it true
that Canon EOS cameras with the larger sensors
(for example, full-frame and APS-H), can operate
autofocus with even smaller apertures? If so, what
is the smallest aperture at which their autofocus
can operate? I’m particularly curious about the

that when he tried this experiment on a really sunny,

camera’s central AF sensor, but that you would need
the AF system in one of Canon’s professional-series
EOS DSLRs to do this. This is more to do with the

W REAL 3D W1
ITH the recent success
of James Cameron’s
film Avatar and the buzz
around 3D products at this January’s
Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas, it seems 3D photographers
will soon have their time in the sun. If
Fujifilm has its way, the FinePix REAL
3D W1 could be the camera that
persuades 2D photographers to start
shooting in three dimensions.
The key to the W1’s 3D capability
is the two sensors mounted behind a
pair of Fujinon 6.3-18.9mm f/3.7-4.2
lenses, which offer the focal-length
equivalence of 35-105mm on 35mm
format. These lenses have a stereo
base of 77mm, which is a little wider
than the 65mm average distance
between the centres of our pupils,
thus enhancing the 3D effect. In
its 3D mode, the W1 captures two
images simultaneously, one on each
sensor, and then aligns them to reveal
the 3D effect on the 2.8in, 230,000-
dot LCD monitor (with Light Direction
Control). The camera can align the
images automatically when the auto
parallax control is activated, but it can
also be adjusted manually, before and
after image capture when necessary

Alternatively, in its 2D mode, the W1

Corel PaintShop
Photo Pro X3
New features and more processing power mean all the image-organising, adjustment and sharing
needs of enthusiast photographers could now be met. Angela Nicholson puts the software to the test
Angela Nicholson
Technical Editor
A
LTHOUGH it is fair to
say that Corel plays
second fiddle to Adobe,
the company has often been a bit
more generous with its offerings for
enthusiast photographers. The lack
of a fully functioning Curves control
in Adobe’s Photoshop Elements,
for example, has been a source
of frustration for many. Corel, on
the other hand, allows users of its
PaintShop Photo Pro X3 (this latest
version sees a rearrangement of
the name as previous versions were
called PaintShop Pro Photo) to
manipulate the shape of the curve
subscribe 0845 676 7778
directly using points anywhere along
its length. While the end results from
Photoshop Elements may be the
same in many cases, the restriction
to using four sliding controls can
feel constricting and possibly a
little patronising – suggesting that
photographers wouldn’t know what
to do with the Curves tool if given
the freedom to control them directly.
There are no such worries with
PaintShop Photo Pro X3.
Another of Corel’s strengths is
that it understands that users may
need a little assistance in the early
stages of using its software, and the
Learning Center is on hand to explain
the purpose of, and how to use, any
selected tool.
In the past, Corel’s PaintShop Pro
software hasn’t run as smoothly
as I would have liked, but for

PaintShop Photo Pro X3 Corel has
harnessed the power of the dual-
core processing available with many
modern PCs and this could enhance
its performance. If so, this and the
raft of new and enhanced features
could make PaintShop Photo Pro
X3 the only software package that
enthusiast photographers need for
downloading, organising, adjusting
and sharing their images.

and I think there is a bug

be created by selecting the Add Tags
option in the Collections list and then
typing in a name. Although on some
occasions I was able to drag images
across to the new tag to give them
that keyword, in most instances the
tag wasn’t assigned to them. I tried it
on three different computers and with
a range of images in different folders
and hard drives, and from different
cameras (tags may only be assigned
to TIFF or JPEG images, not raw files),
yet I was unable to find a consistent
pattern to explain the problem. Oddly,
although new tags may also be added
to images by typing into the relevant
box in the image information panel,
this doesn’t add the tags to the tag
list. Also, selecting a specific tag fails
to reveal images that have had that
tag added via the information panel.
I reported these issues to Corel, and
although the company’s Technical
Support Team was unable to replicate
the problem, they found the tagging
process didn’t run as smoothly as it

should and the situation is going to
be investigated further.
Assuming these glitches are
dealt with, the process of adding
tags should be simple enough, but
PaintShop Photo Pro X3’s Organizer
lacks the power and versatility of
the Organizer in Adobe Photoshop
Elements 8. There are fewer ways to
refine searches and find images using
tags. Corel’s offering is also slower to
use. I found that the speed at which
I was able to browse through images
depended upon where the images
are stored and how many images are
in each file. On the whole, I was able
to browse through images stored on
the hard drive inside my computer
(a Dell XPS 420 with Intel Core Duo
processor and 3,326MB RAM) or an
external 7,200rpm hard drive with
reasonable speed, but when I looked
at images on an 5,400rpm external
hard drive it became frustratingly
slow and awkward to find the images
I wanted. Occasionally, the Organizer
became very slow with images on the
computer’s hard drive as well, and it
crashed several times during this test.
Something that many
photographers will appreciate in
the Organizer is a simple raw-file
conversion option. However, I found
that when I selected a raw file the
preview looked very different from
the thumbnail, and images were often
brighter and more highly saturated
than I would like, so this conversion
option needs to be used with care.
Helpfully, it is also possible to copy the
adjustments that have been applied to
one image (even raw files) to several
others with just a few clicks of the
mouse button. This could save a lot of
time when processing images taken in
similar circumstances.
Express Lab
The Express Lab, which allows the
browsing and selection of images
before quick, simple adjustments are
applied, was introduced with version

X2. With PaintShop Photo Pro X3, the
Express Lab is accessed via a tab in
the top-right corner of the screen and
it is where most of the new features
are seen. Many of the adjustments,
including the new Local Tone Mapping
option (designed to help draw
more detail from the shadows and
highlights), the Color Balance control,
which can be used to make an image
cooler or warmer, and the Contrast/
Brightness control, use simple sliding
controls. However, some, like the new
Sharpen and One Step Noise Removal
tools, are one-click operations that
don’t allow the user to control the
degree of their impact. I found the One
Step Noise Removal tool reasonably
effective at reducing chroma noise
without having a dramatic impact upon
image detail. There are more complex
noise-reduction options available in the
Full Editor, including the Camera Noise
Reduction control, but every time I
tried to use it on an image from the
Canon EOS 7D, the software crashed
and had to be restarted.
On the whole, I use the Express Lab
for correcting wonky horizons and
cropping images, but it can be useful
for occasionally tweaking the exposure
and white balance of images as well.
Camera Raw Lab
As well as allowing images to be
converted to another, more universal
format in the Organizer, PaintShop
Photo Pro X3 has a new Camera
Raw Lab. This opens whenever a raw
file is selected and the Full Editor
mode is activated via the button in
the top-right corner of the screen.
Full editor
subscribe 0845 676 7778
Camera Raw Lab has a collection
of simple sliding controls to adjust
aspects such as image brightness,
saturation, colour temperature,
noise-reduction level (luminance
and chroma), as well as drop-down
options for the white balance.
However, other adjustments may be
made to raw files in the Full Editor
mode by selecting the Edit option.
Full Editor
PaintShop Photo Pro X3’s Full Editor
mode provides a comprehensive array
of tools for adjusting images. Its layout
will be familiar to users of the previous
version, when the Graphite workspace
styling was introduced to give the
software a more serious look. The
grey background also makes exposure
and colour assessment easier.
Those who are new to PaintShop
Photo Pro will find the Learning
Center to the left of the preview panel
a useful guide. If it isn’t visible it can
be activated via the Help options
in the menu bar. More advanced
users will appreciate aspects such

I’m pleased to say that when
working on a dual-core computer,
the preview screens update more
promptly than they do with the
previous incarnation, making it much
more user-friendly. There is still
sometimes a short delay, which can
mean a little to-and-fro tweaking is
required, but generally the situation
is much improved.
In addition to the increased
processing speed, the Full Editor
mode has been enhanced with the
new Smart Carver, Object Extractor,
On-Image Text Editing and Smart
Vibrancy tools. The Smart Carver is a
form of content-aware rescaling that
allows users to specify which objects

when creating a crop. It
would be handy if the
resizing could be done
by ratio as well as pixel count, and if
there were drag handles in addition
to buttons to indicate the direction
of the change in size.
I found that the Object Extractor
makes it fairly easy to select and copy
even quite complex subjects. I set
myself the task of selecting a teasel,
which has lots of fine spikes, and after
a little practice I discovered that by
varying the brush size, occasionally
using the eraser and zooming in
and out on the subject, I was able
to cut it out reasonably precisely.
The extractor does a pretty good
job of recognising edges, so it’s not
necessary to be 100% accurate, but
it is useful to be able to edit the mask
after processing to add or remove
any areas as necessary.
Corel’s new Smart Vibrancy tool
(Adjust>Hue and Saturation>
Vibrancy) is designed to boost colour
saturation where it is low while not
overcooking already vibrant colours. It
can be useful, but it doesn’t guarantee
against oversaturation so the slider
control should be used with care.
Project Creator
Naturally, Corel is keen to encourage
users of its software to share their
images with others and the PaintShop
Photo Pro X3 Project Creator is
supplied as a separate software
package that may be installed to help
with the creation of slideshows, books,
cards and calendars. There are a
limited number of templates available
for the creations, but most are simple
and tasteful. The whole process is very
easy, and after selecting the images
it is possible to produce a slideshow

HE Full Editor of PaintShop Photo Pro X3 offers users a comprehensive
set of controls with just about everything an enthusiast photographer
needs to get his or her images looking just right. For many, the provision
of a proper Curves control and Channel Mixer is a good enough argument to
persuade them to head in Corel’s direction and away from Adobe Photoshop
Elements. PaintShop Photo Pro X3’s advanced tools are backed up by the
Learning Center, which gives step-by-step instructions for some of the most
common tasks. The speedier image processing also makes it easier to adjust
images as the previews update faster than they did with some earlier versions.
Although I would recommend PaintShop Photo Pro X3 for its image-editing
capabilities, I am less impressed by the Organizer, which I found slow and
therefore awkward to use. Even if the tagging issues I encountered
are resolved, the image cataloguing system is less helpful than the
Organizer in Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. The numerous freezes
and crashes while I attempted to locate the images I wished to work
on was a serious source of frustration.

Olympus Pen E-P2
Wasting no time at all, Olympus has updated its Pen E-P1 camera just five
months after it was released. Richard Sibley tests the Olympus Pen E-P2

system, it is important
that there is a full range of lenses,
bodies and accessories to allow them
to upgrade in the future. With this
in mind it is no surprise that both
Olympus and Panasonic are rapidly
establishing the Micro Four Thirds
system by releasing cameras in
quick succession.
For example, the Panasonic Lumix
DMC-G1 was released in November
2008, and a version with video
capture, the GH1, was released just
five months later. Six months after this,
in September 2009, the company
released the GF1, also a Micro Four
subscribe 0845 676 7778
Thirds system camera but with a more
compact body than the G1 and GH1.
Olympus has followed a similar
pattern, with the E-P1 released in
June 2009 and the E-P2 announced
just five months later in November.
In fact, as I was reviewing the E-P2,
Olympus announced the new E-PL1
only three months after the release
date of the E-P2. With such a small
amount of time between the launches
of the E-P1 and E-P2, there are only
a few differences between the two
cameras. I was curious to see exactly
what the differences are and the
advantages the new camera offers.
Features
Like the Olympus Pen E-P1, the
E-P2 has a Four Thirds-format,
12.3-million-pixel Live MOS sensor. It
also uses the same TruePic V imaging
sensor that is capable of capturing
and saving images as both JPEGs

and raw files, as well as 1280x720-
pixel resolution HD video.
There is one major addition, though:
the accessory port. This is a small
electronic socket below the E-P2’s
hotshoe, which allows electronic
accessories to be attached to the
camera. At its launch, there are two
such items available. The first of these
is the EMA-1 microphone adapter.
This adds a stereo jack socket so that
an external stereo microphone can be
used. Olympus supplies the EMA-1
adapter in the SEMA-1 kit, which
also includes the ME-51S stereo
microphone. Although the E-P1 has
the facility to record in stereo, the
microphone is too close to the lens’s
autofocus so it records the sound of
the motor moving.
The second accessory, the VF-2
electronic viewfinder, should prove
popular and in my opinion should have
been a feature on the original E-P1.
With a 1.4-million-dot screen, the
VF-2 is on par with the EVF of the
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1. It is an
improvement over the Olympus VF-1,
which is an optical viewfinder designed
for use with the Olympus M Zuiko
17mm f/2.8 pancake lens.
However, only one accessory can
be used at a time, so you will have
to choose between stereo recording
and using the viewfinder. Of course,
as the accessories fit onto the flash
hotshoe, you won’t be able to use an
external flashgun at the same time.

Obviously, this isn’t a problem if you
are shooting video as chances are
you won’t be using the viewfinder
or need flash. However, if you are
shooting still images you must choose
between having a viewfinder and flash
capability. Sadly, the E-P2 does not
feature an internal pop-up flash.

Build and handling
Being an upgrade of the Olympus
Pen E-P1, the E-P2 shares a nearly
identical body. The only difference is
the addition of that accessory port
under the hotshoe on the rear of the
camera. Without the addition of an
optical viewfinder and a mirror box,
the E-P2 is small and sleek, being
around the same size as the Canon
PowerShot G11.
As small as it is, the E-P2 is a slightly
awkward size. With the supplied M
Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-
5.6 lens attached, it is still a little too
big to fit in all but the largest coat
pockets, yet it’s too small for most
over-the-shoulder cases. It left a lot of
space in my shoulder bag, and while
it seemed excessive having just the
camera and kit lens in a shoulder bag,
it did leave enough room to carry a
full complement of Micro Four Thirds
lenses. This would require a much
larger bag if it were an APS-C system,
and would have been far heavier.
Those who do want a very slim,
pocketable camera should consider
the Olympus M Zuiko 17mm f/2.8
pancake lens. This combination makes
for a perfect travel companion.
The menu system is unchanged
since the E-P1 and I found it
straightforward to use. My only
complaint is that while the camera is
capable of taking Superfine

option in the shooting menu

smooth curve in the shadow areas.
These dark areas can be brightened

8/10
Viewfinder, Live View,
LCD and video
Olympus has used the same 3in,
230,000-dot screen in the E-P2
as is found in the E-P1. Although it is
bright and clear, I tended to use the
screen only when shooting images at
around waist height. I much preferred
using the 1.4-million-dot EVF.
The VF-2 electronic viewfinder is
included with the E-P2 if you buy it
as a kit with the 14-42mm lens or
the 17mm pancake lens. Like other
electronic viewfinders of its type, the
VF-2 is hinged to allow it to be used
as an angle finder. Despite its plastic
structure, the VF-2 is fairly sturdy and
it would take a drop on a hard surface
or a lot of deliberate force to break
the viewfinder’s hinge.
The viewfinder is one of the best I’ve
used. I found it doesn’t suffer from the
RGB flicker/fringing we have noted on
other cameras. There is also very little
delay/lag between moving the camera
and what is displayed in the viewfinder.
It is only when moving very quickly
that a slight flicker is noticeable.
Obviously, it still looks like you are
staring at an LCD screen, but as we’ve
noted with other recent electronic
viewfinders, the latest models show far
more detail and a more natural view.
Should you wish to use the rear
screen instead of the VF-2, there is
a small button that switches between
the two. There is, in fact, no difference
between what can be viewed on the

reaches it reaches ISO 800. This is clearly
the point at which high ISO noise reduction
kicks in, as there is no visible noise but
detail is lost due to smudging.

two screens, and there are two display
modes in particular that I found useful.
One of these is the live histogram,
which is a useful tool to have in the
viewfinder for checking that highlight
and shadow areas are correctly
exposed. Similarly, the white balance
mode can be displayed on the rear
screen or through the viewfinder,
allowing it to be previewed and quickly
selected. However, it is best shown on
the rear display as it is too small to be
of much use when viewed in the EVF.
Video capture is possible either by
viewing the scene on the rear screen
or through the viewfinder. There
have been a few changes to the
video-capture options since the E-P1.
Although the 30fps, 1280x720-pixel
resolution remains, you can now shoot
video in manual-exposure mode,
which allows the aperture and
shutter speed to be selected.
Contrast-detection AF can be
used in video mode. However, when
in continuous-focus mode it seeks
back and forth, causing the subject
to be thrown constantly in and out of
focus before settling on a focus point.
Manual focus is by far the best option
for those wishing to shoot video.
8/10
Metering
One of the most useful features on
Olympus cameras is the highlight and
shadow spot metering options. Their
purpose is to spot meter specifically
to ensure highlights and shadows
are correctly exposed.
There is no difference in the
metering system of the E-P1 and
E-P2. ESP evaluative metering

Our verdict
T
HERE are many things to like about the Pen E-P2, and most of these
are the same features that appear in the E-P1. This is because, besides
the EVF, there is little in the way of a ‘giant leap forward’.
The EVF is impressive, and when combined with the Micro Four Thirds
interchangeable lenses it starts to handle like an SLR. Of course, those without
the need for an EVF can opt for the cheaper E-P1.
You would expect that the second camera in a range would have more
improvements and features, instead of the refinements than have been added to
the EP-2. The addition of the accessory port allows those who want to hold the
camera up to the eye, or those requiring better sound quality, a suitable camera.
However, making this relatively small upgrade so soon after the original camera
was released may infuriate a lot of photographers who bought the E-P1.
I see the E-P2 as a discreet camera for when you don’t want the added weight
of a DSLR. However, the lack of a built-in flash is frustrating, though this issue has
been addressed with the recent launch of the E-PL1. Look out for our review in a
forthcoming issue of AP.

number of pictures I am
likely to take with it in the future, and a scarred top plate has not diminished this one
iota. There are plenty of pictures left in it yet, and this is the real reserve of value.
As is its replacement cost. A well-used Leica M8.2 is just another well-used Leica
M8.2. yes, they’re fairly rare and expensive, but not that rare and expensive. If mine
were run over by a steamroller tomorrow, it is (with some pain) replaceable – and
the only reason I would have for replacing it would be to take yet more pictures.
What really puzzles me is why some people ‘baby’ cameras that aren’t even rare
and expensive, and which will decline in value until they are worth nothing at all, at
least in the lifetime of their owners. In 250 years, almost any old rubbish is worth
money, simply because it has survived 250 years,.
Right now, though, my nikon D70 is probably ‘worth’ (to sell) about one-third
of its new price. Again, so? It still takes pictures that are every bit as good as
when it was new, which is all I ask, so it’s ‘worth’ more to me than I could get
by selling it. Besides, I’m a photographer, not a camera dealer. What’s your
camera ‘worth’ to you? AP
