I have taken 2 photos of a pylon (both with camera held vertically, one with
the lens side of the camera at the top and one with the lens side of the
camera at the bottom).  I took the photos at 1/640 sec shutter speed,  3.2

recommendations?
TIA,

I'm looking for the simple operation to add two layers pixel-wise for
all channels in Photoshop (ver. 8). I find adjustments layers and
blending options for Multiply, Difference and so on, and I find

? Actually prices tend to be high in my area, so this would be roughly

advice/feedback from other users of this camera (if this is the appropriate
forum).

'Tis the Season' an yes while on family vacation our digital camera was
stolen from the Disney Fort Wilderness Campground resort (Florida). It

I recently purchased a Kodak CX6445 4MP from a refurb dealer -- did it
