No... Not that! This was what I did before that.

Did you ever take a pic, and say that it would have been better without that... ?

Well, I had opened Photoshop, to edit a pic of me, when I was in Thailand, as the Reporter is looking for pix of veterans.

After I'd finished with that, I decided to work on a couple of other pix that I had moved into that folder, because they needed more editing than my ACDSee editor could do.

I just didn’t like the motor home, but he always parks it there because it is his motorhome. And his yard. And his barn:

So I put an extension on the barn:

Actually, it is hard to see the extension at this resolution, but images that are larger than this make the screen scroll, and I hate that! :?

Looks like a nice country road, late autumn scene, but the gates and building, make it look a little junky.

So I made some things disappear. 8)

Good stuff! I never get around to editing my photos, even for contrast and color, not to mention removing the unsightly things

I hear you. I almost always do cropping and lighting adjustment when I go thru a folder, but extra stuff takes quite a lot of time. As a result, I have 38 folders untouched since July... and lots that are on CD, waiting for time, including 3 CDs from last year's foliage season.

vonski, the rules are: Leave nothing but tracks. Take nothing but pictures. But there is nothing about what you can take from the pictures... :? I'm... I'm confused, now. :oops:

:lol:

Dont you just love to move to digital....I sold my dark room stuff several years ago and have been using Photoshop. If you have the time this is a great program for making alterations to pictures. I may have tried to remove the building in the background in the first picture as it does not seam to fit well with the composition

Does any have a good program for editing movies files. I plan on getting a Hero recorder this year.

The big thing with D_Cams, for me, is I get a ton more use out of my camera.

I was telling a friend, the other day, that I used to develop a roll of film at the beginning of foliage season, and find that at the beginning of the roll of film would be shots from last season. I used to shoot 3-5 rolls in a year.

Now, I have now shot 70 folders, since May, which comes to more than 1800 pix! :shock:


Ok... There are only 3 or 4 good ones, but still... :roll:


As for video editors, I know there is one of the Adobe Elements thingys that do video, but it was too steep for me, as I almost never shoot video. There are also a ton more, but which are good, and for what? :?
