Where's the lowest cost place to get single-sided color glossy prints
made, in qty of 50, of the same photo?
Something like 80-100 lb glossy photo paper?
I want to make a brochure, unfolded, with a color photo and some print on

Does anyone know of a plug-in for Photoshop CS2 that supports Nikon D300
  raw?  The only plug-in that I have found needs Photoshop CS3.

As a previous 35mm SLR user, I was aware that professional
photographers regarded several specific models of camera as worthy
pocket-size backups. For example, the Yashica T4.

I have a Canon IXUS 70 Digital Camera and each time I remove the
memory card, put it in the PC, copy the pics, put the card back in the

I just bought a new Canon 450 Rebel XSI from Wolf - Ritz Camera in
Oak Park-Chicago  Illinois, upon unboxing it the orange plastic

I see the same spot no matter which lens I use so I'm pretty sure it's

My wife took a trip to Germany recently.  When staying at friends of a
relative, they went to look at some of the photos she had taken. Even
though the host was using XP on his computer, he could not open ANY of
the SD memory cards she was using.  She was a little worried until she

Are there any adapters from Sony Memory Stick Duo cards to SD?
I know there are tiny Memory Stick USB readers, but that's not what my

With digital cameras that have a problem with noise at night, would getting
a good flash, a really powerful one, make them perform as well as they do
in daylight? My camera is fine in daytime, I can enlarge the picture as

I'm trying a parlay between the photo experts and the freeware mavens.
Recently I've received batches of FIF image files from two sources.  I have no
idea what I can do with them; none of my image viewers seem able to handle them,
including Fast Stone Viewer, IrfanView, and ACDSee.

Does anyone know why this new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 (7.2 megapixels)
camera sometimes shows a blue screen with white "File Error" message?
This only happens with two new SanDisk Ultra II MagicGate Pro Duo 2 GB
memory sticks. The default Sony memory card/stick that came with the ...
