I've done some of those B/W pics with a colorful dress, or my daughters

I am looking for a freeware that would allow me to select 3 files to
print, designate them as 4 x 6 prints, lay them out to fit on a 8.5 x
11 sheet, and control the amount of crop. Windows XP does the first two

I wanted to look at getting some sort of adapter to fit my telescope (Meade
ETX90) to my new digital camera (Sony P200).

I have a Canon SLR and while stupidly trying to remove the tiniest dot from
the mirror with a lens brush, I managed to create lots more tiny dots on the
mirror.
It obviously doesn't interfere with my pictures but when looking through the

My old desktop computer is in failing health.  For example, I cannot burn

Three months ago I started using Image Bird(v2005) from IMOK-Software
and so far it has been a great help for me. Organizing my photos went
rather fast. But now I was wondering if someone has any tips on the
software. Creating labels is easy but is it possible to create more

The progress of digital photography has been amazing to me over the last few

Hi Group,
I have a Proena 600i APS camera that takes the IX-Nikkor Lens.
I wish to replace this with a Nikon Digital SLR.

I have 3 Nikon speedlights, an 800 and two 600s.
Is it possible to use the SB-800 as a remote master when it's not on a
camera body? For example stand mount all three lights, trigger the 800
