Are you using spot focus flogging he camera pick the focus point? I also think to are pushing your luck using a 270mmm lens at that distance; I use a Tamron 70-300 mmm and often get similar results. Are you sure the camera s rock steady? It could be a camera shake problem too.

Glad you missed the screwed up mess! I just did. I was commissioned in May oF '62 and was shortly in FL loading out for the Cuban Invasion, then in'63 they cut orders for me to attend Officer's Jungle warfare school in Panama (my one year wife was not happy), and the orders were cancelled when someone realized I wouldn't have 13 months for overseas duty after the school and leave until I was to be discharged. Twice lucky in twenty seven months was enough so I got out and joined the 'crass commercial world

Mark, Thanks for your service. Were you out before Viet Nam got really active? I was in from 62-64, but fortunately avoided being in country for Johnson's misguided fiasco.

I'm still using Win7 Pro with PSE14 with no complaints and no problems. I see no reason to upgrade unless some new Elements has some appealing feature; so far it hasn't.

Probably,but she's also probably only 1\3d my age, and I haven't any practice since my bayonet army training almost 56 years ago. 😀

When you let the printer chose the color plan aren't you just letting the computer set the colors to what it thinks they should be and disregarding the color you may have carefully selected or corrected in PP in PP? if that is the case why spend the time to make the shot colors correct?

Sure. Let's teach our kids that violence is the answer to problem behavior. Sick.


Let us not forget that parenting is a skill seldom a taught, but rather learned through experience, and all parents quickly realize that corrections for minor infractions by a child the age of the one in the photo immediately applied work much better than a "Wait until your (other parent) gets home". I am not seconding beating a child, but a quick smack across the butt for a not too significant violation by your child your gets their gets attention like nothing else does and much more quickly. IN some cases it could even save their life.

I don't think pixels or inches make any differences in the doubling factor @ 100% more it is still twice as big
But inches are easier to vizulize. Do you describe a print size in Pix x pix or in height and width in inches?

Refresh my memory? What is 100% (other than all of something)?


In math 100% is equal to the whole. In this particular case a 100% enlargement would be a doubling of the print size! If your cameras normal output is, for example, a 36" x 48" 'negative'' at 100% enlargement would be a 72" x 96" print! Is that what you really want?

Just received this camera from a friend; I know it's a bit outdated but I think that may be a good camera to start with.
My "problem" is that when I enlarge the pictures to 100%, the images looks too "grainy", ( I already tried to lower the ISO and shooting RAW always).
Is this "normal" for this model of camera?. Is anyone in this forum able to provide me a test picture (full res) to compare with mine?.
Thank you for any help , this is my first post.


Unless thr photo being enlarged is 100% perfect, I suspect you may be expecting more from the camera than it can deliver. Have you tried less enlargement or cropping instead of enlarging? Personally I try not to exceed 50% and unless the original is perfect, even that can be a bit much. How large a print are you trying to make?

[quote=JCam]As Malard said in a previous reply, it isn't a quick process, and it depends to a great deal upon the condition of the picture you are trying to "restore". That said I was recently able to repair (mostly scratches and reducing shadows using the various tools in PSE14) a picture of my father rigging his sailboat for a race. I am by no means an expert, but the results were good enough for use as a subject for new photos. The original was taken in the mid-1930's by a NYC professional model photographer ( Mr. Paul Morris).

If you want to try this more simple procedure, first make TWO scanned copies of the original, a good fax will suffice. Store one in a safe file (just "in-case) and use the second as your working copy. Enlarge it until you see pixels and then back out until they are not visible. You don't want to accidentally remove something you think is 'noise'. Then study the scanned working copy and decide what part(s) to fix and in what order. My aim in this project was to maintain the aged +/- 85 year old sepia type photo.

I try to do the easy things first so they don't interfere with your vision of the more difficult behind them. If you haven't used layers, get a copy of a recent PSE program I think 19 was released in November and read the Layers Instructions or guides on using layers. PSE will create them as needed, but you will need information on understanding and working with them. I hope it works for you and if it is below your present skill level, I apologize.

Elad, First, thank you for your service; I was about ten years ahead of years ahead of you.

Recently was able to restore an early '30's picture of my father using several tools in PSE 14; it was more of a blending and shadows fix. Depending upon how much repairing you need, it may be enough. Just be sure to scan and store an original --just in case!😁

Good luck and take your time; it isn't a thick process.
