Downsizing

Bird, I know what you mean. Then when I remember why, I've forgotten what I learned./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Hey, Bird. You keep taking pictures like that and I'll be trying to talk you out of retirement to go to work for me taking pictures of airplanes. Nice job!

...and by the way. I took my camera to the state fair this last weekend and there were so many people I couldn't get any shots without someone getting in the way. Oh well, it was nice and cool and I enjoyed it.

Rick,

I've tried a bunch of them -- most recently (like 15 minutes ago) Ulead PhotoImpact 6. For the bulk of what I do with digital pictures (cropping and printing/emailing) I'll stick with MS PictureIt.

I'm not one to pump MS -- but they did a nice job with that product.

Good job Bird! Your first photo collage and it's also of the pictures of top n tilt I asked for last week!

Not knowing all of the facts, Plower, I guess we should mention that you make sure that the photo is in .jpg format. If it's in something like .bmp, it will be 10 times larger than it needs to be.

Some cameras do and some don't, I have a couple Digital cameras. My Sony DSC-D770 did not come with any software but my Yashica Micro Elite 3300 did. Like what the others have said research the cameras before you buy, that is one of the reasons I have two. The sony takes great photos from up close to distant shots and it allows me to set the camera for each picture which takes some knowledge to understand all the features, either previous experience or study the manual close and practice as you read are the best methods to learn. The Micro Elite takes nice pic's also but it is quicker for snap shots and also for small movies. I use both cameras all the time and they are worth the investment as I have not used my old 35mm since I bought the Sony. Good luck with your purchase and make sure you get a camera with a good rechargable battery otherwise it will get expensive if you have to keep buying batteries. Later.
