Word, thanks for the info. I'm totally new to PS so thank you again.

Edit: I found the heal tool no problem but haven't located the clone tool yet. I'll keep looking and playing around.

CS5 fixed the heal tool and has an awesome predictive content filter.

Yeah I saw a video of the "content fill aware" thing or whatever it was called, but I only have CS3E. It was definitely cool though, I was impressed at how good of a job it did.

LOL, here I was hoping for some professional critique! Well glad you got to see them all, like I said, quickies with a Sony Cybershot, but for a travel camera, it usually does a fine job.

Volus- Your first photo is the weakest. There is no for ground and the sky is too small in the image. Look up the "rule of thirds". That will help you a lot.

Also the colors are muted and the image is a little too dark. Comparing it to image #2 you see the red pop first and it draws your eye right in to the center of the image. Where as in image #1 there is nothing but glaring sun reflecting off the water and as a main point of focus this is too bright.

Hope that helps. let me know if you have any questions

I appreciate it as I'm no photographer. I just really liked the calmness of the water and lilly pads, so I just wanted a bunch of that in there. What do you mean rule of thirds?

Yup that is pretty much it. Once you get it down to the point you see that way then you will know when to break it and how to break and grow from there. Good luck it is a fun hobby, and remember, The camera has absolutely nothing to do with the picture.

I try to never work on my laptop if I can avoid it, because the screen on my laptop is terrible. but there are plenty of equally bad desktop screens too

Because my Laptop is so new and my desktop stuff so old (in computer years that is) my laptop looks better. Which one is more of a true accurate representation is another question....


I have done that "test" and am baffled as to which one I should use to adjust my photos.

You might want to consider calibrating your monitor, there are kits available for that.

My new lens came in today, I can't wait to start shooting with it.
