<p>HP Image Zone Plus came on HP computers with Win XP.<br>

It wasn't included on HP computers with Win 7.</p>

<p>I found the second generation Intel i-core processors in the Dell XPS 8300 but they still use a graphics card. Also, look up the processor model numbers carefully to make sure it's a quad core.</p>

<p>Have to wait for the third quarter of the year to see if the AMD Fusion Lynx Llano K10 processors add on a graphics card or not.</p>

<p>Also, check out the HP Shopping website.</p>

<p>Oh, the AMD Fusion Lynx Llano is due the third quarter of 2011. It's two or four cores, uses the K10 core just like the Phenom II, has the graphics on the chip, and is 25W to 100W.</p>

<p>It looks like the AMD 960T may have been skipped. But there's a 6 core 1045t or 1065t and both at 95W. But use a graphics card as the Phenom II does not yet have the graphics on the chip but only graphics as an instruction set.</p>

<p>Oh, the AMD 905e and 910e are 65W. The AMD 925 is 95W. Then the AMD 955, 965, 970, and 975 are 125W.</p>

<p>I found some processor examples:</p>

<p>Intel, i7 2600S, 2.8 GHz, 4 cores 8 threads, 65W, Jan 2011<br>

Intel, i5 2500S, 2.7 GHz, 4 cores 4 threads, 65W, Jan 2011</p>

<p>AMD, Phenom II, Deneb, 2.5 to 3.6 Ghz, 4 cores 4 threads, 975, 970, 965, 955, 948, 940, 925, 920, 910e, 905e, and use a graphics card</p>

<p>AMD, Phenom II, Zosma, 3.0 to 3.4 GHz, 4 cores 8 threads, 960T, use a graphics card</p>

<p>With Intel processor model numbers it's difficult to tell if the processor is dual core or quad core. (A dual core processor is four way threading while a quad core processor is four way.)So just look them up carefully. Also, the quad core processor should be a slower processor than previous singe processors and then benefit from processor threading rather than speed.</p>

<p>The AMD Phenom II quad core processors, with a graphics card, make a very nice computer and are popular with gamers.</p>

<p>But both Intel and AMD are just now rolling out processors that include the graphics on the chip. So don't confuse graphics on the chip with the previous integrated graphics that was just an instruction set. So the computer buyer might want to wait a few months for the latest processor.</p>

<p>Well, Intel has the 2657M i7, the 2617M i7, and the 2537M i5 with all of them at 17 Watts.</p>

<p>Those would seem to be the processors that compare to the AMD Fusion E-350.</p>

<p>And the E-350 processor is currently available in 11.6" Laptops from HP and Sony.</p>

<p>Then the Intel chips are said to have better processing while the AMD Fusion chips are said to have better graphics.</p>

<p>I think we can forget about the dual-core Atom in the 10.1" Laptops.</p>

<p>No, I checked the HP website.</p>

<p>The 10.1" Laptop with dual-core Atom processor is not offered with Photoshop Elements while the 11.6" Laptop with dual-core Fusion processor is offered with Photoshop Elements.</p>

<p>The Fusion dual-core processor includes a Radeon HD 6310M graphics chip.</p>

<p>Want to upload to a laptop and edit when on the go ?</p>

<p>HP has a Laptop with a 11.6" screen and a dual-core AMD Fusion processor. The Fusion processor includes a graphics chip and at 18 watts power the battery life could be eight hours or more. Of course the computer handles Photoshop Elements without any problem.</p>

<p>There's also a Laptop with 10.1" screen and a dual-core Intel Atom processor. Photoshop Elements is offered as an option so I assume the Laptop has enough power. But the single-core Atom processors were said at one time not be for photo editing.</p>

 

<p>Both the 60mm F2.8D and the 60mm 2.8G ED say that they are for copy work.</p>

<p>Well, what makes an artistic photographer is that views are accentuated in the mind of the individual and then passed along in the form of the photo captures.</p>

<p>I can shoot slide film, process it myself, and then a drum scan with a Lambda print looks just like the slide. Obviously this is a process not to forget.</p>

<p>Then with the slide film only a Sigma scan makes a good digital image. My own scans with a Nikon 5000 are too simple looking. And so that situation lead to a DSLR camera for the digital photos.</p>

<p>Yeah, that's much better. With Elements 9: under Resize, select Image Size, check box Resample Image, and then input of pixel count is allowed.</p>

<p>But HP Image Zone Plus offers a Resize that works only one way and allows scrolling to pixel count. Anyone could use it on the first try...</p>

<p>Also, Elements 9 doesn't seem to offer as much space for the image itself.</p>

<p>It's JPEG editing:</p>

<p>I see several posts about Photoshop or Elements versus Lightroom.</p>

<p>And previously I wrote a post about losing HP Image Zone Plus when going to a new computer.</p>

<p>So I start working with Elements 9.</p>

<p>But to resize in Image Zone Plus just select Custom and scroll to the desired pixel count.</p>

<p>To resize in Elements select Scale and drag to a percentage. But first do a percentage calcuation to know which percentage hits the desired pixel count. Then crop out the blank that is left behind. Next, zoom-in since the resized image is now very small. But save and done.</p>

<p>But HP Photosmart Essential will also resize but Photosmart Essential only has Crop, Resize, and Color Temperature and that's about 1/4 what HP Image Zone Plus has.</p>

<p>The bottom line is that HP Image Zone Plus was the best photo editing software for JPEG but it's not available after XP.</p>

<p>Okay, I downloaded HP Photosmart Essential 3.5. The zoom slider doesn't say where in the zoom size it is. But the editing does have Crop and Resize. Then under the Color and Light Tools there is just a single Color Temperature control and an Adaptive Lighting selection.</p>

<p>Obviously, HP Photosmart Essential is not at the level of HP Image Zone...</p>

<p>Well, I used to use HP Image Zone for photo editing and it was included on the HP computer. It was very good and better than the Nikon software that came with the D80. Now with a new computer I have HP MediaSmart Photo and the editing amounts to "Rotate Right" and "Rotate Left". Okay, thanks.</p>

<p>But I can find an HP download link of Photosmart Essential which might be a replacement for Image Zone but the download is slightly old and noted for XP or Vista. And at another Photosmart download link the website suggests Photosmart for Mac users and HP Photo Creations for Windows users. But HP Photo Creations seems to be just a calendar maker...</p>

<p>Did somebody put the marketing department in charge of the computer company ?</p>

<p>Okay, I should just go for Photoshop Elements and hopefully it will edit photos...</p>

<p>Drive Panama City to Destin to Pensacola to Mobile to New Orleans. There's a 17 mile long national seashore between Destin and Pensacola. And of course New Orleans has the Mississippi River.</p>

<p>The drive across West Texas is nothing but rural desert so go North at Dallas to Oklahoma City and then West to Albuquerque. Then decide whether to go North to Denver and over the Rocky Mountains or West to Flagstaff.</p>

<p>Bryce Canyon is convenient to coming over the Rockies from Denver while the Grand Canyon is convenient to Flagstaff. The route over the Rockies has highway to St George and on to Las Vegas. The route from Flagstaff is convenient to Lake Havasu and a little more difficult to Las Vegas. Then there's a Mojave Preserve between Lake Havasu and Las Vegas.</p>

<p>Death Valley before going on to LA ? I don't know...</p>

Of course the task manager can show what is running and the percentage of processor usage it's taking. And there was

one virus was actually named Windows.exe and of course it appeared normal to have Windows running. (But idle

processes is normal.)

 

But also use the Windows file search and search for all files created or modified on the present day. (Windows searches

for all files and folders but there is a configuration where you tell it to really search for all files and folders...including

searches of system folders for instance.) Look for zip files (often in the Java Jar) that you didn't install on the creation date

and look for .exe files that you didn't install on the creation date. If you can't delete the bad file then it may have a Registry

key written in one of two common locations. Use Window's Run and go to Regedit. Then it's something like Local

Machine-Software-Windows-Current Version-Run and Current User-Software-Windows-Current Version-Run. If a

Registry key matches a bad file then delete the key and then go back to Windows search and delete the file. (Of course

there may be a program that rewrites the key and re-installs the bad file (!) and that calls for re-installing the operating

system.)

 

Or...boot up in safemode (use Windows Run to get the msconfig utility, under the General tab check Selective Startup,

and under the Boot tab select Safeboot) to delete the bad files and let Windows take away the bad Registry keys. (Of

course there may be a program that re-installs the bad files and that calls for re-installing the operating system.)

 

Oh is that computer connected to the internet ?

You can't afford a laser or LED exposure printer but if you could the printer holds chemicals to wet process the prints...to make C-prints.

 

Now check out the inkjet printers mentioned in the other responses here...

 

So the only other choice are dye-sub printers. The Fuji ASK-4000 costs $2500 and makes 8 x 12 prints on thermal paper. The prints are said to be durable and archival...but a long roll of paper is expensive and thus for volume.

I took one look at the message and began moving on...and then noticed that someone said that it was a strong web site hosting.

 

And you said...news photos.

 

Well...you should only accept photos that are newsworthy. Then the news media can scan the web site for photos that they want to buy. Next the photographer gets 85% of the proceeds while the web site gets 15% of the proceeds...

 

By doing that you are then different from TrekLens, Photo.net, and others...

Yeah, the Control Panel Display settings allow for selection of a larger font size while Internet Explorer allows for selection

of a larger Text size...

 

But some people might just change the W'ndows Display resolution settings and then they are looking at your images

incorrectly. So W'ndows ought to set a default setting for the monitor the first time the monitor is used ?

Okay the standard 15" monitor stopped working at four years and I saw that most new monitors were widescreen. So

I got a widescreen monitor to use and evaluate. Now the discount stores had 17" widescreen monitors but they

included speakers. Then the computer mega-store only had 19" widescreen monitors but priced less than the

discount stores.

 

So I have a 19" widescreen monitor with a resolution of 1440 X 900 . And then my images looked awful. I could use a

best-fit with the W'ndow's viewer and then on the third try they looked normal. Then I realized that I had W'ndows

display resolution settings to set. I had begun with a W'ndows setting of 800 x 600 and then I tried matching the

monitor settings with a W'ndows setting of 1440 X 900 but many items on the screen were too small. So I tried

a mid-setting and the screen view was about right, the images looked okay, but the images were the wrong shape.

And so then I go back to the W'ndows setting of 1440 X 900 and the images look good and are the right shape. Of

course with one display setting the monitor is pushed against the wall and with another display setting the monitor is

pulled closer...

 

So I'm just wondering what W'ndows display setting is most often used with these widescreen monitors...around

these-parts ?

 

 

Also I feel like I'm being bombarded with photons and so when I get a new computer it will probably be a 17"

widescreen...if that size is still available at that time.

Oh, but you should contact the company with the details of the situation. Do that by typed business letter unless you are using a lawyer.

 

And you can send in copyright registrations for your own photo of course...and that with any country of the Burne Convention. Then the copyright registration acts like a deposition by you that the photo is yours. And if the copyright registration paperworks allows you to note problems such as the unlicensed usage then note it...
