I am in my seventies and extremely nearsighted, over -400, and had many similar problems. I switched to progressive lenses about five years ago with good results.

Just sitting here at work with too much time on my hands thinking. No camera to try it.
If I take three or so bracketed images with my camera and use the "Create Photomerge" function in PSE, will it stack the three images and give me a HDR image ?????
You can se Photomerge Exposure to efficiently handle scenes in photos with exposure challenges. You can blend two photos together to get a perfectly exposed photo. For example, if you have a photo with a window in the background and you want a perfect photo with the following properties:
A good exposure of the scenery outside the window.
A good exposure of the darker objects inside the room.

Does anyone know the differences between the Canon t3i vs the t3? From my investigation it appears to only be the difference in the 12.2MP to 18MP. If anyone knows of other enhancements/etc. please let me know before I purchase.
The list below gives a more complete summary of the feature differences between the 600D and 550D:
Vari-angle display
Scene intelligent Auto Mode
'Basic+' creative controls in scene modes
'Creative Filters' can be applied to images in playback mode
Multi-aspect ratio shooting (3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 1:1, previewable in Live View)
Integrated Wireless flash controller with multi-flash support
'Video Snapshot' mode
Auto Lighting Optimizer now adjustable in 4 levels
Feature Guide
Image rating (1-5 stars)
Eye sensor for LCD display replaced by 'DISP' button
Marginally larger and heavier
I think you could make it look much better with an editing program. I just spent a couple of minutes with content aware in PS Elements, as a test.

My Grandfather, far left, sometime in the 1930's. Wish I knew how to fix.
This is also in PS Elements and easy to use.

I read somewhere about a technique, I believe it's in Photoshop, whereby combining several shots from a tripod you can remove the people within the scene. Does anyone know the procedure for this?
Thanks for the heads-up Larry, I went to COSTCO and bought a copy this morning. The price on the display was $79, but it rang up with a $30 discount.

Hi, All
Costco.com has now listed Elements 10 for $49.99 as promised. It also has free shipping.
I am going to see if I can pick it up in the local store tomorrow before ordering online.
Regards,

Sometimes the "laws of photography" are BEST served by being broken!
This illustrates that theory PERFECTLY, imo.
Gorgeous photo... makes me want to come see for myself.
I really like this photo and wonder what laws of photography are broken in this photo? Just a computer programmer.
Elements does an alignment automatically.

Tripod essential, or good solid tree stump. :lol: If your camera does not have a bracketing feature built in, use your exposure compensation. Taking the five or so shots this way is rather slow, but it works.
Since Elements does not have an alignment feature, you really need some form of external shutter release. Such as the old fashioned cable, or the modern electronic type. This is not a bad idea even if you use a program like photomatrix, which does have alignment correction. Because all the alignment is done in the center-most 70 percent or so, leaving fuzzy unaligned outer areas.

The three wood storks make are an amazing capture. I hope the judges like it.

In all actuality, it leads from the zoo/park area in Salisbury, up to the road that runs around it... but I think it's kinda neat.

I used the eye adjustment in each one of these images.
Very nice, I will try this on some of mine
I dont use gimp, but in Photoshop, Ill place a layer on top of the image, sample the eye color, then brush over the existing eye in an overlay blending mode. I then adjust the hue, saturation, lightness and opacity.
If you want me to post some examples, just let me know![/quote]
This is not my post, but I would like to see your eye work.
