Reading manuals on smartphones and tablets is the future. Most of the younger generation don't even want the clutter of hard copy manuals. They prefer manuals that are highly portable, searchable, and can be neatly organized on their electronic devices into virtual folders; the hard copy manuals end up either left sitting in the box untouched or shoved in the back of some drawer to be forgotten.

A few years ago I also wanted printed manuals for all of my gadgets. Now, not so much. They are too easily misplaced.

If you are installing the new Luminar AI, get ready for some major headaches.
The download for me was long but installed ok.
The major headache was that it asked me to sign in to use the new software, which is ludicrous, since I had already signed in to download the piece of C...p.
It put it into the PS plugins ok, but when you try to use it, it asks for you to sign in. It would not take my password and instructed me to reset it. This is where the bottle of Tylenol will be helpful. I spent a half hour or more trying to reset the dang thing. Finally, I guess it got tired of me swearing at it and it finally worked.

Major headache. I hope the new AI is worth the pain in the butt.

I have owned several Canon Elph cameras starting with the film version. All were solid, capable and a bit expensive for a pocket camera. I recently needed another. I found them at Walmart of all places. They were not expensive at all and seemed cheap in construction. I did buy one, it was defective, inoperable in fact.
I returned it of course. I think the model number was maybe 185 but I may not have that correct. The price was just over $100. Has this nice line of cameras gone down the tube?

I am considering buying a used one dating from a better day. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any input

Does anyone use the Nikon photo hosting program, View NX-!, to transfer images from camera to computer? I have downloaded the program and can get the images to appear but when I try to download them to my computer Nikon's program blocks access, saying I need to be an administrator to do that function. I have sent two inquires to Nikon USA asking for help and have received absolutely nothing helpful from them. If anyone uses ViewNX-1 can advise me as to how to download the images to my computer I would be very grateful. I do not want to use any other program if at all possible.
