I agree. I haven't used it since I put it on my Kindel. I may get to see what it looks like on a Fire tomorrow.
:D

The D5100 came with a weenie hard copy manual...I do keep it in the camera bag but never use it. It is small format and like 25 pages. The one included in pdf on the DVD is like 300+ pages. I ended up printing most of it out and put it in a 3-ring binder.

I seem to recall that if you download the pdf from the Nikon WEB site it isn't printable. I don't get why they think that's a good idea...like someone is going to print out one their manuals to use on a competitors camera or something?

I prefer David Bush's book.

The problem is less the temperature than it is the humidity. Changing the lens outside in dry air should be no serious problem. Taking the camera back in and changing the lens indoors will be a problem unless you wait until the interior of the camera warms to room temps. As long as the equipment is at the same temp or warmer than the air where you are swapping the lens, there should be no problem.

When you bring a cold camera indoors, it will fog up exposed outer areas. Don't try to wipe the condensation off. Just wait until it evaporates on its own. This may take ten to twenty minutes, but that's the price you pay for moving from one area to another.

I used my Nikon 14-24 yesterday in 7 degree air and that is a BIG piece of glass on the front. When I returned to a 70 degree room, it took a full twenty minutes before I could use it again.

Back to the original question. Cloning tools are available in a number of programs. It can be tedious when you're working with a lot of detail, like the leaves on the trees in the sample shown. Easy when you're dealing with a uniform sky.

Another technique when you're dealing with a fairly uniform area like sky is to draw a selection around the object, feather the selection, move the selection off a little to the side, copy what's there, then paste it and move it back over the wire, flagpole, or whatever other offending item is giving you the problem. The latest version of Photoshop has a neat tool where you just select the troublesome object and tell Photoshop to fill in using the surrounding area. I haven't used the tool myself, but some of the examples they have posted are astounding.

Alyn as has been stated here before, when you have typed your message in the UHH box go just below to BROWSE. Browse to your photo on the 'desktop' (where you EXPORTED your picture from Picasa to)double click and click open. Then back at the message box you will see something like C:\ in the little box just to the left of Browse. Then click SEND. If you go back to preview your message it will DROP the photo so don't click preview just SEND. :thumbup:

Got it! Thank you, NYWEB, I owe you one.
I've read complaints about Silky but these apparently come from folks who have more elaborate programs.
For now I'll be satisfied to have something just to get my feet wet. To the nyweb2001 family I wish a very Merry Christmas and I hope next year will be the best you've ever had.
