How 'bout my questions? Asked many times - still no response.

I have come to having a Bob Dylan song replay in my head -- "Everything is Broken". I still have confidence that some day in the near future, the scattered bits and bytes will be glued back together. In the meantime, I keep checking the Photo Contest page, and reading the forums.

It's been broken for such a long time now that I don't think that its utility will be restored,

and the management won't answer questions

For foreign travel I use an "uncuttable" neck strap from AAA. Less likely to lose the camera to street thieves. The lens is another story - I've seen that story.

I have been asking questions of Photo.net several times (over a period of months). Promised answers within 48 hours. NEVER got any answers. I can't continue to pay for this site with such poor service.

Can we see our galleries as thumbnails? How? Can it be viewed as a slideshow? I've asked these questions to PN but never got an answer.

Any suggestions as to a brand and specs?

Help me out. I can't use this website. My home page no longer comes up. I can't even find my name in the directory.

<p>Thanks. I'll give it a try.</p>

 

<p>When using Windows Movie Maker to make slide shows my images will get chopped off at the top and bottom. I must be using images of an inappropriate size for that program. Has anyone used that program successfully? If so, what is the proper images size.</p>

It did on my old 7d but not on my new one. Canon USA confirmed this.

<p>Isn't this a battery problem? Batteries get stale after a time. First they last less long and then get worse.</p>

<p>Figured it out.<br>

Set camera to shoot video at 60 frames/sec. Open file in Microsoft Movie Maker and set the frame rate to a speed less than 60 e.g. about 0.5 in edit mode.</p>

<p>I'd like to try using my 7D Markii for slo mo of golf swings. I'm told it requires video editing software. Any suggestions??</p>

<p>I got it. Went to Cnet. They promote "Recuva" by Piriform. Worked like a charm.<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>Dick,<br>

Didn't work for me. Does it work on Windows 10?<br>

Still need a suggestion.</p>

No

<p>I accidently deleted an image that I wanted from my CF card in my 7D. Can someone suggest some free software to use to retrieve it. I haven't reformatted yet.</p>

<p>Both my laptop & desktop suddenly had no CS3 on them. Unfortunately, I left the disc in Florida when I returned to Phila after the winter so I couldn't try to reinstall. So I went for my Photoshop CS. Now the program says that I need to put in the activation code. When I put it in it says "incorrect" - but it is correct and the Adobe website shows that it is registered with that exact code. Calling Adobe gets me nowhere. They just say that these older programs are no longer supported. Now I'm using my Photoshop 7. When will it fail? I'm waiting - it probably won't be long until Adobe figures out that someone still has a functioning copy. I'm beginning to believe that aliens did arrive at area 51 in Roswell, NM.</p>

 

My long time use of Photoshop, from 5.0, 5.5, 7, CS, & CS3, seems to have been made non-functional by Adobe.

So, I am distrustful of any Adobe products. Is there an alternative to Photoshop?

<p>A friend just called and asked about someone with a "high end" camera whose images were focused on one side but blurred on the other. The lens was clean - could the sensor be dislodged?</p>

<p>The cost estimate to repair my 24-105mm was in excess of $400,</p>

<p>And don't forget that lenses can malfunction too. While in Paris my 24-105mm developed a "communication error" "clean your contacts" - no help. Fortunately, I had carried a 50MM with me and that got me through the trip. Recently, I purchased a used 100mm from a <strong><em>very</em> </strong>reliable dealer - same error message, they replaced it immediately.</p>

<p>A backup camera body is <em><strong>always</strong> </em>essential even for an amateur like me. Years ago I was in Acadia NP when my 50D died - I almost cried.<br>

The other day my new 7D Markii (2 months old) failed (it's now with Canon repair) but I'm traveling with both my 50D and my old 7D. Thank goodness for my backups.</p>

<p>I bought it.</p>
