The Monty Python Show .... spam, spam, spam, spam, spam ... spam is OFF.

I hear rumours that the BIPP are now using the IQA document that the Alienideas FocusON DVD is based on for their training for members - ie - they're using the FocusON DVD! - its gathering pace this Aliens roadshow 

Has anyone had a conflict with the video clips adobe reader and Quicktime??? If so I just got an e-mail and the fix is now out there - download the latest version of reader (7.0.5 I think) this has made my copies clips fly onto the screen - very high res and very useful - better than pages and pages of text trying to explain a technical issue in my opinion.

enjoy now!

Why doesn't your dodgy firm stop clogging up all the forums with your spam?

If the product is as good as you say it is then it will sell without the spam and without the false testimonials.

Or I suppose you could just be honest and pay for your advertising?

How very odd! - Spam or not this posting has a tremendous amount of viewings - lighting man - I see you've been all over thid forum putting this company down - for my pennysworth I have no beef with them and as far as I'm concerned as a small business owner myself I like their type of advertising if it is advertising. I have checked out the IQA and I suggest you do the same - wha they are talking about has serious ramifications for the photographic industry  - just take a look at who has been involved in the guidelines and tell me they are dodgy??? but I suppose to you a little successful company like the Alienideas lot it too much for you to bear?  give it a rest unless you can come up with constructive comments.

I don't feel that I am putting these people down. What I object to is the spam postings, if they want to promote their product they should do it honestly and either pay for their advertising or wait and see whether they get genuine recommendations from people. What they are doing is dishonest

As for the the recommendations by leading lights in the industry, if these recommendations are genuine then thats fine but they are sending out free copies asking prominent people to put their name to it. I know this because they sent it to me and asked for my support. In my view the only recommendations that mean anything are from people who have genuinely bought it. And anyway some of the spam postings on another site were in the names of leading players. One complained that he had not posted it so I think its verylikely that the others were fake too.

The product itself is OK, nothing special but the presentation is good and its easy to follow. The contents are similar to printed books but the animations help to to make it easier to follow. I think they should have put more effort into getting the content right and maybe a bit less on the presentation.

As for the IQA guidelines these are basically what the industry has been using for years but I think this is the first time that anyone has got around to trying to create a uniform standard, so although there's nothing new in the guidelines they may be helpful to some newcomers.
