Prairie Hawk was a bit far away from my Lumix but got enough detail to see coloring around eyes and beak. Don't know name of bird on cactus but he was enjoying a snack

I am having a problem changing the colour of my canvas size. It is locked so that it stays as a colourless boarder. I used to know how to change it back when that happened, but have not had this problem for some time and can't find what I have to reset. I can get around it by going back in and doing a "paint fill" to whatever I want in color, but that should not be necessary. Will someone please clue me in! LOL... (I am sure it is a senior moment ;-) Thanks a bunch!
Not sure if this is the answer but if, while you have an image open, and you reduce its size so you can see the canvas, right click on any part of the canvas area for color options.
There is also the Reset Tools function. It's hard to see but it is just above the first tool on the top left (assuming your tools are in two rows on the left side of the screen.)

It won't do 4x5 negs.
Hi, I have the same scanner. Contacted their tech support and was given info on how to scan larger negs. Had to purchase a piece of glass to put on top of the scanner glass. They actually suggested 2 pieces of glass with the neg sandwiched in between but I found one work. There are some specific settings that I can't put my hands on right now (moving day) but if you are interested I will find it and pass it on. I scanned 3x5s with no problem.

Please tell me what you mean by "destructive". Not familiar with that term. And would it apply if you were working on a copy of your image?

I know exactly what you mean. I keep a 'Jerk List' and when they post something my red flags go up. If I even think they are going to get nasty, I'm gone. But 99.9 want to help. I've noticed that some are blunt when they critique but not nasty or abusive.
Hang in there, post and wear your flack helmet, (I thought that was funny)

I'm getting to know my way around. Agree about the majority are here to help. Like that old saying, one bad apple......Thanks! (glad you got a laugh out of flack helmet!) :)

Not knowing if you have Photoshop or what version, I use a filter named Texturizer in PSE7. You can select the type of texture and adjust the scaling and relief amongst other things.

Since I already like to make some of my photos painterly, I think these are really cool. So far I've used the filters in Photoshop Elements and a Topaz plug in called Simplify. This is a whole new world. I don't think "sharp" is the point and not only doesn't it bother me, it would negate the effect you have achieved. :)

Valuable 2 cents! Agree that new cameras (or cell phones or iPads) are not easy. I learned on a Canon manual film camera. It took a while to master but now seems so simple compared to what it takes to run a digital camera. :)

I just hate being criticized for being critical. How rude is that.

This experience is fascinating. So many perspectives to consider. I still come to the same place - that criticism can be given gently. The idea is to educate and encourage a person, not alienate them. The truth doesn't have to hurt. Thank you all for you input. Looking forward to lots of photo tips and tricks. :)

Big step and enough $$ to make me want to be careful. Had Nikon D40 several years ago but sold it. Should have kept it and just upgraded the lens. Also had Leica Digilux 2 recently but most of the time got better images from the Panasonic. And didn't like the fixed lens. I'm going to the camera store pretty soon to do a hands on. Will definitely check out the D3100. Thanks again Don!
