What ways, other than decreasing aperture, are there to increase DOF?
Do large format cameras or huge lenses help?  What about an extremely

I am able, without problems, to use iPhoto  to make my pictures look
good (to me at least) to have prints made. I take maybe on average of 20
photos a week so am not a big user. Am wondering if I am missing

I have a Kodak EasyShare DX7630 with an EasyShare printer dock. Does
anyone know how to transfer the photos from the camera to my hard
drive? I don't want to use Kodak's crappy software I just want the
