Phil, It looks like the only thing that I have accomplished lately is to repair things as it seems that everything was in need at the same time. I haven't even attempted to take any images of the oriole so far so need to get with it! Really I haven't seen him for the last several days since I happen to see that his jam feeder had fallen on the ground. I cleaned it and replenished the jam, but it doesn't seem to have been used since then but suspect that he's still around! The weather has been so nice the past few days that we have just been enjoying it and hope that snow will be a thing of the past, at least for a little longer! Always great to hear from you and take care!

To the Smoker,
You raise an interesting point. I use Canon Cameras and Lenses (along with others) and have always had access to DPP (digital photo professional). However, I never learned it possibly because I never heard or saw anyone reference or use it. Rather thin reasoning. Although it is true that the more people that use a program, the more people are available to consult with problems, etc. Anyhow, I never did buy Photoshop so I can't use DPP and finish it in CS6 or any other version.
I will give a try to ON-1 and, hopefully, I will be thrilled. If not, you will probably hear about it here. Thank you for the input.
Richard
