With technology, particularly technology that's worth less than $1000, new is always a better value than fixing. If you're not ready to make the jump to HDV (or aren't ready to drop that much money on a new cam), Jamal posted a link to an article with some great recommendations at various price leve...

A very nice piece indeed. And the pictures are beautiful!

Thanks, Bob. I thought maybe I'd dreamed the place!

You also inspired me to look up another place I thought I'd dreamed!

Some people here in Milwaukee claim they felt a tremble.

But we've got no big, nasty fault lines here, like you do there, Cheryl. Still, that's quite a distance to even feel that!

Have you extracted the zipped files? You could run into problems trying to open them from within the Zip file.

Oh, and welcome to our little community by the way!

And thanks for enocuraging us to raise our rate...

Well, I don't know if there's a hard and fast rule, when it comes to fair use. The key seems to be whether or not you've used a "substantial" portion of a work. What a substantial portion is, though, is open to interpretation. If it's enough of a song that someone can recognize it, then it...

Northeast Pennsylvania?

I somehow ended up in place called Picture Rocks one week a long time ago. Ever heard of it?

Just one thing I think you're unclear on, Marcos. If your bleed size is 3.627" x 2.127" and 1/8" (.125") on each side is bleed, that leaves you with a final card of 3 3/8" x 1 7/8" (3.38" x 1.88") once the bleed area is cut off. Does that make sense? If you ne...

It' s not so much a matter of if as it is when and where, Marcos. I know many of us are eager to meet face to face. (Believe it or not, Chuck and I haven't even met webmaster Ron yet, despite our wonderfully co-dependent relationship this past year!) Chuck's current hometown, Atlanta, is central to ...

This one is easy in CS3, Marcos (and impossible in Photo Elements). With the file open, just go to Image/Mode and check CMYK. (The sRGB is just a color profile. It has nothing to do with the actual color mode.) You set the size in CS3 under Image/Image Size. As for bleed -- that's a tough one in Pho...

But, Bob, outputting as a 1280x270 frame will only work if he's working with a hi-def project. And he'll be working with massive WMV files (big enough to possibly bog down the presentation). In any event, considering what he's trying to accomplish, I think Photostory is the ideal tool, IMHO. Much mo...

As I said, don't use Premiere Elements! It is a video editor and produces video quality and video resolution (640x480 pixels -- a big step down from that 1280x570 screen cap -- only about half the resolution!). For display on a computer or projected computer display, use a program like Photostory De...

I'm not sure what you're saying, posati. Are you saying you created a one minute and six second video and it wouldn't fit on a DVD? Even a one hour and six minute video should fit on a DVD. Maybe I'm not clear what you're doing. You should be going to the Share tab, selecting Fit to Disk but selecti...

A great product that you can download absolutely free from Microsoft is Photostory Deluxe. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx This is a slideshow program that should maintain the quality and resolution of your original screen captures. You can use it ...

Well, remember that Premiere Elements is a video editing program -- so whatever you put in comes out as essentially 640x480 pixels. And that's fine for standard TV, since TVs are essentially 640x480 pixels. (Computers typically use 4 times that resolution.) But how you create your displays depends o...
