Yes. Most of the phone apps are poorly written. As a retired coder for a huge company, it makes me want to scream to the high heaven.

I was using a Nikon scan4000
No touch up

Note: Around 2009, I started using Pro Ektachrome, and many of those slides (not all) had a red shift that was easily fixed with white balance tool.

My experience with 1960's slides:
Kodachrome not so good
Ektachrome almost pristine

It's a beautiful ride, but very hard to take photos. The train is jam packed with people.

Best post yet.

#4 is the Columbine.
#2 Does not look like any Geranium I've seen.

How do yo know where these were taken? The OP does not show his/her location, and he/she does not tell us the location in the post narrative.

I am planning to buy a Nikon D6. Is there any rumors floating around about a Nikon D7 being announced in the next 7 or more months? The last time I purchased a Nikon D4s, the D5 came out a couple weeks after I received my D4s.

You got a good deal. I paid very close to $300 when I purchased it new in 1971. You basically had a great camera for free.

That's the same camera I bought 49 years ago when I was in Japan for the Boy Scout World Jamboree. It was my first DSLR. Before that, I had a Kodak Hawkeye and a cheap plastic Polaroid.

Then how come hotels always refer to their customers as guests? In ads, websites, mailings, etc. I never have seen the word customer used. It is always 'guest'.

On the topic, I have over 1500 nights at Marriott properties and over 500 nights at IHG properties and several stays at other hotels. I almost always have my camera (Current one is Nikon Ds4). I have never been stopped from taking pictures on or in hotel properties. (Knock on wood.)

I always try to get photos without people in them unless I am purposely taking pictures of people I know. Why would you want pictures of people unknown to you if they are 'vacation like' photos? Therefore, hotels which would have 'no camera' rules would be off my list.

I live in the DC area. Where about do you go to see these beautiful ducks?

I didn't think of tracing the lines by hand on a sheet and then scanning the sheet. It certainly would be much easier than tracing the lines in Photoshop. You are correct that the topo lines don't stay thin when enlarging the map. The other suggestions of using the USGS maps were not helpful because I was using an image that was greater in size than the available USGS maps, and that is what I was starting from.

Can you get the frosted Mylar and Micron PN pens at Staples or Office Max or Hobby Lobby? I am not familiar with them.

I'm thinking that using the Healing brush might be better than using the Clone Stamp tool to remove the topo lines from the map background.

I have a digital image of topo map that is being used at a big increase in size causing the topo lines to be fuzzy. I would like to be able to fix them in Photoshop so that they look more like an in focus line. The attached sample image is 7.493 inches wide and 5.917 inches tall and 300 pixels/inch. That is the size I want when it is printed out on paper. Also, because the map is enlarged so much, I would like to have the topo lines be thinner and more sharp.

I am thinking that I can open a new layer and trace the lines onto the new layer with the brush tool. I would like the line to be in the 10-15 pixel width. I could use the clone stamp tool to block out the existing lines on the background of the map so the existing lines would not be visible.

The thing about doing it this way is that tracing all those lines will take a lot of time and it would be difficult to accurately trace the lines. Also, clone stamping the existing lines out would take a lot of cloning. Does anyone have an easier way to accomplish my task?
