Go to You tube, submit search inquiry as follows "Back button focus for Nikon D3300. You should find several 'how to' videos

I donot believe so - Nothing in the owners manual or on camera menu.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any experience with Sigma's 50-500mm lens.

I have a Sony a77 with Sony 18-250mm. Looking for a compatible 2X converter, any suggestions?

Rulers of the sky

abc123, I was not offended by your reedit, just wanted to make you aware of a new rule. I don't want to see/hear of anyone getting into trouble. I think best practice would be to send a private message before reediting

CAUTION: Admin added this rule Nov 21, 2011
"I updated the Pictures section's rules, and added this clause:


Quote:
- Please do not edit and re-upload other people's pictures without their explicit permission. In other words, you may not open someone's topic, download an image, edit it (that includes adjusting settings, cropping, adding/removing visual elements, etc.), re-post it, and say "here is a version of your photo that I like better" unless they specifically ask for it.


This goes into effect immediately.
If you mess with other people's photos without them asking, you'll get banned."

Which is more appealing

Very true I should have stated 'older versions' not later versions, sorry for the confusion

A general tip to one and all. Content Aware was added to PSE9, later versions do not have this feature.

Helpfull tip: You can adjust the size of the Healing Brush by tapping one the bracket keys to the right of the letter P on the keyboard. '[' will make the brush smaller and ']' will make it larger.

Thank you for critiquing the photograph and not criticizing the photographer. I suspect Squirl's reaction was a result of my showing him how a simple one mouse click 'White Balance' adjustment could improve one of his photos. Why Steve came out of nowhere to criticize the photographer is unknown. Letting off steam about a process is one thing criicizing people for using it is quite a different matter.

Anyway thank you again for the helpful critique. Your extensive editing has removed the halo effect and I will try to use this process in the future.

To clear up a bad assumption - I did not use HDR in the original. It was a single photo edited in PSE9.

Squirl _ It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know digital didn't exist during Ansel's time. Dodge & burn was his way of achieving the HDR effect of today. I was given very high grade for the class and that's all that is important

Fortunately for me my instructor disagrees with you

Ansle via his zone map technique actually developed High Dynamic Range photography for film. Here is a digital facsimile.
