I music the crowd like mp3 which sound like  #@@ because it is easy and cheap.  iPhone photos, mp3 music, 140 character (twitter) essays.  Video games gross more than movies. 

Call me an old fogy.

Thanks Greg, that was good.  I will try it again. 

Ganna -  I have taken blank 255,255,255 skies and pinned it.  Result was a constant blue throughout the sky.  It is not natural looking. 

I tried hdr pano.  Has to be on a tripod.  kinda messy.  Get the best one done flat, then copy settings and do each.  Then save and then do pano.  But this one I used tilt shift.  I guess I could do focus bracketed hdr pano.  More software /hardware is a little slow when it comes to hdr.  Seven hdr&...

I have posted a few images here.  One problem I have is the sun.  Sometimes I shoot towards the sun and the sky goes white.  Duh.  In this pano, the only choice is early morning (too foggy) mid day terrible sun, evening a little better.  I tried 10 am.  The sky is light blue on the left and darker a...

A help suggestion.  Every once and a while go over shortcuts.  PS and CM use keyboard shortcuts.  It is hard to absorb all at once and later your usage changes. 

I re-read my documentation at least once a year on my cameras and essential software. 

Go to CM.<br /><br />Do mask, curve mask to taste.<br /><br />Click on save button (It looks like file folders)<br /><br />Cancel.<br /><br />Add mask to layer.<br /><br />Highlight mask and alt-click to make the screen white.<br /><br />Paste CM mask.  Control - V works (sometimes) or is it file or...

Heck, I really miss the sportfinder!  It was a pentaprism replacement that allowed the back screen to swivel up.  On a Canon F-1.  Great camera, I miss it.

I do not miss eye controlled focus.  It did not work for me.
