Trying some kimono

Eddie in KimonoEiko and I went to try some kimono today, to get ready for the wedding ceremony at the shrine.

This is approximately what I'm going to look like next year on April 17th (the watch and the sweater not included!).

The choice was made quite quickly between a dark vest, a very dark vest or purple one that makes you look like a bad imitation of a yakuza in an American movie (quite fun to wear though!).
As for the pants, it was about picking between large or thin stripes.

Eiko, on the other hand, had three catalogs full of colourful kimono, red, black, orange, green, with phoenixes, Japanese patterns, etc.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to doing this ceremony, I think it'll be quite fun (until I have to do the speech in Japanese!).

Capture One DLSR

Phase One came up with 2 new versions of Capture One DLSR, the piece of software I'm using to convert my Canon RAW picture into TIFF or JPEG format.

The new version C1LE 1.3 seems much more accurate in terms of colours to me. At least, it gets rid of that horrible pink overcast that I noticed in the 1.2 version.
The whole process seems also smoother, but I'm not actually sure what the improvements really are.

One good thing though: the upgrade from C1 DSLR LE 1.2 to C1 DSLR LE 1.3 is free of charge if you are already a registered user.

As for C1 DLSR SE (Special Edition), the main difference to me is that you can develop up to 100 pictures in one batch, instead of 20 in the LE (limited edition) version.

Once I get my dual processor G5, that shouldn't matter though ;)
