Re: Algerian Military Il-76 Down Near Algiers

It's a big aircraft but my first thought was also, wow, 250 pax in an Il-76?

Wikipedia gives no info about the number of seats that can be fitted. However, it says a cancelled version was a double-decked 250-passenger airliner. So, the single cargo deck must be packed with 250...

Re: Pilot killed as CF-18 crashes near Cold Lake

The question is why? Is it due to luck running out? Due to maintenance? Due to lack of training? Or something else. Crash numbers are notorious hard to interpret. The Dutch, for example, had 63 accidents (some have been repaired though), with their F-16's. Operated since 1979 and 213 ordered. The n...

Hi all, Is Perspective Control, found in Photoshop under Camera Distortion Correction, an allowed technique on A.net?

Re: [Poll] Do you prefer one or two columns in A.net search results?

I have no strong opinion on the question, but the main problem with the detailed view is that the thumbnails are far too small on many screens. I have come to like the card view. The only thing missing there now is a little room for the caption. Some photos are just meaningless without a caption. Lo...

Re: Photographer(s) Feedback on the new site

Hi Kas,

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Thank you! I hope the developers will agree.

Re: Photographer(s) Feedback on the new site

Go to the photographer name in the lower right corner of the box, click it. You will be taken to the profile page and all the photog's photos. In the upper left corner you can then select by date, most popular and by likes. Atleast, I'm assuming that's what you were looking for? Well, no, because t...

Re: Photographer(s) Feedback on the new site

Thanks for your efforts, Kas. I like how you now get a number of thumbnails below a opened photo. However, it's seems strange to me that you cannot go to the next relevant thumbnails page from there. Especially as it's even more difficult now to go to 'all photos by this photographer' - this now can...

Re: Noise Reduction

Thanks Vik, I didn't know that Adobe Camera RAW has NR functions too.
My first impression is that both it and Dfine do a better job than the Elements stuff.

Dear all, What is the latest in noise reduction software in photo editing?

Re: Uploading info

When you use the Mil SN field, the sn/reg does not show up in the search pages at all. See my photo 212035. So I think we better stick to the REG field for the time being.

The aircraft type displayed on the search pages is now finally the version rather than the generic type, which is so much better! Thanks for the efforts to improve the site. The 'detail view' of the search pages still does not look good, with very small thumbnails on many screens. If the developers ...

You don't make clear where you spotted the problem. But on the photo upload page the area is indeed listed under both Wales and Engeland, which must be a mistake.

Re: DC-1 vs DC-2

Easy enough to find on Wikipedia: essentially the 2ft 6in fuselage stretch to seat 14 passengers, and more powerful engines to compensate for that. Not worth a new DC number, but don't attach too much importance to that. The DC-3 was not only much larger but also aerodynamically much improved, with ...
