But I have my own, totally controlled, solution, I've build my piece of site with a gallery shaper that lets me generate and play with sequences, its a thing I've did a few years ago and now comes in handy for the task. What I find invaluable of latex is that with a few different includes I can easily produce output for different devices.<br />As for the control I've always used exclusively the manual mode to the point of being unable to use the other ones, still can't understand how exposure compensation works :-D. It is certainly a waste of time but, you know, wasting time is what we're after, or not ?Mauro Thon Giudicihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596131985430080494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073087446713304375.post-30280014307210771562010-05-20T18:09:31.804+02:002010-05-20T18:09:31.804+02:00Well, one of the nice things about BookSmart is th...Well, one of the nice things about BookSmart is that it's a good tool for playing with sequencing... In my view "total control" generally equals "maximum frustration" ;)<br /><br />But then I use Program mode on my camera more often than Manual these days...<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073087446713304375.post-36225016774782428462010-05-19T20:02:34.980+02:002010-05-19T20:02:34.980+02:00Mike,

I did not consider BookSmart software since I want to output multiple formats with the same sequences. Actually I'm finding that sequencing and editing take a lot more time than formatting.Mauro Thon Giudicihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596131985430080494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073087446713304375.post-76924686405720669932010-05-19T19:53:50.831+02:002010-05-19T19:53:50.831+02:00Mauro,

I had to create PDFs in my DTP software for use in Lulu, and turned to BookSmart with a liberating sense of relief.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.com
