I joined the Yahoo discussion group on Digital Photography a couple of
weeks ago and promised I'd make a report after using it awhile.
There is no spam.  The discussions are generally much the same as rpd,
though a bit smaller in number.  Also, there is none of the juvenile

Hi, I have thousands of scanned images stored as JPEGs as well as
thousands of digital camera images also stored as JPEGs. Nearly all
of them have only the EXIF that is automatically created. For scans,
that is nothing while for digitals, it is whatever the camera

I was digging around for a freeware batch EXIF rename program when I
belatedly realized Irfanview does a wonderful job of batch EXIF renaming of
JPEG photos and I just wanted others to know that this was possible.
Here's my hint (you may already know this ... if so, sorry for the

Picked up a new XSi body and the new amazing kit lens with image
stabilization yesterday. Everything seems to be working great as far
as I can tell. It's fun to take hand-holds inside at 1/8 sec and have
them come out sharp.

If I adjust the levels using the "pick gray point" tool, how can I
repeat this same adjustment on multiple images?  The "Save" button
under "All Channels" seems to save the values set via the "Output
Levels" sliders, which I haven't set.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that there was some dust on my lens (this
is the original zoom provided with the Nikon D70 camera) so I used a
really bad quality rag (I did not know it was so bad as this time) to
clean the lens.

I need to photograph small objects at a distance of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) from
the lens. I want a magnification of ~50 to 100.
Photomicrography (using microscopes) is limited in the working distance from
the objective; it needs to be <1 inch. Photomacrography is limited in the

Just brought a Canon GP and shoot in RAW, then convert to  TIFF then finally
JPEG.  However, all the EXIF information dissapears.  Whta can I do to make
sure it's there with the final image?

Greeting group!
I had recently posted about a diy background cloth, which I got a
black cloth--looks great and looking forward to more pics. Well, we're
using B&W film for all our exposures (for a university class I'm

It was bound to happen!  I never thought that I would get cited for privacy
violations and have my CF card confiscated.  I don't know how it happened,
but I accidentally handed over the wrong card.  Oh well, at least I got to
keep my images.  BASTARDS!!!!

Is Lecia the Lamboghini of everything photographic?  I understand they
make the best of the best when it comes to film based equipment but
$300+ for a 6MP camera while a Sony Cybershot comes in around $100?
What am I missing?

I have a photo that was folded in half, unfortunately,
and I wonder if either Photoshop and/or The GIMP are
able to remove this crease.
Thank you for any assistance.
