<p>When I am on the job it's on. When I'm off the job and it's in the bag it's off. That way there is no possible way it can be pressed by the bag or what-ever and continue to cycle on and off, on and off, running down the battery. The manual , with good sense, asks you to shut down for card swaps and lens changes to avoid miss pin matches and possible connection shorts. The BEST reason for turning it off is when you power up again - my D300 auto cleans my sensor every time. Sweet!</p>

Thanks Mike,(I never thought to look there)but do you know why it would be out of the critique request Que, Nature? I placed it there Monday 12-10-07.

I requested for critique "The Coy Pond" by Bill McCrystyn under

catagory "nature". It showed up and was doing well as far as response. I

recieved one comment as to the spelling of "Coy" and corrected my error by edit

to "The Koi Pond". I checked later to see how it was doing and can't find the

picture in any que or query? It is still in my porfolio but otherwise MIA.

Bummer, it was doing so well and I was curious just to see how it would do over

3 days. What happened? Bill McCrystyn / dawizard1@sbcglobal.net

Fredrick, I just tried your method and it gave me what I wanted after all. Thank both of you very much for your response. Hopefully both of you will be able to further help with your critique of my work. Bill

Thanks guys. John, I tried your method as it seemed appropriate for what I was wanting to do but could not activate the "stroke" mode without first expanding the canvas size with the cropping tool and then magic wanding the expanded area which unfortunatly picked up all the white in the pic aside from the expanded border. Apparently I am not as smart as you guys are giving me credit for. Could you try to explain this method as in "surround 101 for dummies". Thanks, Bill

I'm new and as yet have not uploaded any images. How do you frame or matt the

images you upload? I use Photoshop CS3.
