Dunno how, but lost my settings for flash fill using high speed exposure. Tried several settings that work fine in diminished light but unsuccessful in bright light. Thank you in advance, ...Al

The names of my pictures can sometimes become very long: they start with the date in YYMMDD format, then a brief description of the event and end with a number. It is not unusual to have names of =>45 characters. When selecting a photograph in Easy-PhotoPrint Ex it only displays 27 characters. As a result I cannot see the photo number which is the last 2 or 3 characters.
Is there a way to show more characters or must I open the photograph to be able to read the full file name?
Thanks in advance, Al

First attempt at a collage in Elements.

I am experiencing blurry or pixelated photos in my collage.

When viewed in the Photo Bin where the size is 25.4"x38" and 72 Pixel/inch they appear ok. When placed in an 8.5"x11" collage some appear blurry.

Source pictures range from <500KB to >5MB making the entire collage well over 20MB which means I can't post the collage here.

I believe this problem is related to the pictures size e.g. too much detail for a REALLY SMALL picture.

Should I be reducing the pictures size before I place them in the collage? If so, what method do you recommended?

Thank you in advance, ...Al

- I have owned this Pro-100 since May of 2015 and it has served me well and faithfully. I have recently began receiving Error B200's. Shutting down, disconnecting power and restarting has taken care of them up to now. That sequence no longer corrects it.
- My questions are... Do you think a new Canon print head will correct the issue or should I just replace the printer?
- B&H, Best Buy and Adorama - ALL are out of stock. Is Canon still manufacturing this printer?
- If no longer made, what is current replacement?
Thanks in advance...

Today I learned that EXIF data does NOT match the information displayed when you right click on a photo in Windows 10 and display "Properties." Somewhere in the memory recesses I was aware they didn't match but always thought it was because I was doing something incorrectly. Today I received several files via Google photos and when I downloaded them the "Properties" information showed the current date for creation date. I checked the original photos EXIF data... it did not match "Properties." Then I checked the EXIF data of the downloaded picture and it MATCHED the original EXIF data.

I post this for educational value. I incorrectly thought that EXIF and Properties match. THEY DON'T!!

Slowly the light comes on...

I had a similar experience with Canon on my Pixma Pro. The tech stayed on the line with me for an hour. By any chance was your tech named Charles?


No, my rep was Josh (actually Joshua). GREAT asset for Canon.

What was the problem? What is the fix?


Problem = yellow printing was ORANGE.

Based on all the buttons he had me pushing which I think it was a "system reset." e.g 15 times Resume/Cancel then 15 times on the Power button.

Disconnected from power source, remove all the inks and take the ink tray out to inspect it for obvious damage.

Put everything back, plug it in and the test print was perfect.

My photographs recently started showing orange tints. Printing the test page show that the area that was supposed to be yellow was ORANGE!!... I replaced the yellow cartridge, same result. Cleaned the heads, again same thing. Here is where I got a little confused by the online manual so I called Canon's customer service. Wait time was 21 minutes but eventually I was speaking with a CSR. He guided me through several steps and stayed on the line the entire time which was probably about 25 minutes. (Now I understand why the wait time was so long.)

He was successful in correcting the problem. And this is on a printer that was purchased in May 2015.

KUDOS to Canon!!!

I am working on my family calendar for 2020. I create a collage for each month. I created my first collage and saved my work as a PSD file. When I returned and opened the file my photo bin is empty. How do I save my photos in the photo bin with the collage? Can't find any resource material on this topic. Thanks in advance. Regards.

I am using a Canon 80D and a Lexar SD 128 GB card.

I have had this card since January 2016, use it ALL the time and have NOT reformatted either in the camera or in my computer. I probably photograph 12 - 15 events a month to give you a feel for the number of times the card is in and out of the camera.

Recently and with increasing frequency I have been receiving unable to communicate with memory storage notifications. Taking the card out and reinserting it worked well for a while. When that didn't, I tried using a standard pencil eraser to carefully clean the tabs on the card. This worked sometimes. Next I tried using an EraserStic eraser pencil which seems to have a little more aggressive erasing capabilities. Since that too has not proven to have cured the problem, I have done a full reformatting of the card on my computer.

Currently the system is functioning ok. Over the past couple days I have removed and reinserted the card a dozen or so times, just to check.

Are there other recommended steps I should try if the problem returns?

I have an upcoming trip planned to my grandson's graduation at the Air Force Academy in May and I am thinking I will purchase a couple more cards before I go, just to be safe.

Thanks for your help.

Search your electronic manual for abrasion, it should bring up three possibilities. Check the "Paper is Smudged." I had the same problem and found that "Check 4" corrected my problem.

I'm trying to create a collage in the titled software and things are moving along well. I've run into a snag however... When I try to crop an image already in the collage the crop is completed and the resulting cropped image occupies the entire page. Is there a tutorial for "Cropping within a collage?" I couldn't find one.

While looking at some extraordinary photographs I saw a camera/lens setup I am not familiar with... Any ideas?
