<p>Thanks, Michael. I'm taking notes. Was wanting to record directly to computer using the H4N while I sit there and view the image I'm talking about. I'm not sure but I believe that I can record using the H4N to the computer and to the H4N at the same time so if one screws up, I still have the other.</p>

<p>Thanks Noreen. Checking your link and other tutorials.</p>

<p>I have: Adobe Photoshop CS6, Elements 11, Premiere Elements 11, Lightroom 5.6, and ProShow Gold, and a Zoom H4N for the audio.<br> What I want to do: Create a family photo slideshow from old images that have been flatbed scanned from the original prints which were not of great quality. I want it to be a slideshow where I talk about each image and that image stays on the screen until I have finished talking about it, then move on to the next one automatically when I am done talking. <br> Output: DVD, Web, and possible YouTube. DVD for sure. <br> I know CS6 very well, but the others not so much. I am just becoming a Lightroom user and haven't really gotten into it yet. I am 68 years young so not looking into anything long term or difficult to learn. Just a simple setup that I can use to create a nice little slideshow for the younger people in our family, especially those that are scattered around the country, who never had a chance to know who they are or where they came from. <br> I'm leaning towards Lightroom or ProShow Gold but would purchase (reasonably priced) other software if I found one that was designed to do exactly what I want to do and be simple to use. (Simple to use for me, not you:-). I really don't have time to get into two or three different softwares so would like to have some advice from those who <strong>have done </strong>something similar to what I want to do or have experience with it who could point me toward which software would be the simplest to use and maybe some articles, tutorials, etc, to get me started. I will dig deeply into learning whichever software I finally select but need a jump start. <br> I run a PC and Windows 7. Appreciate any advise you can give.<br> Thanks,<br> Al Rohrer</p>

<p>Actually, I have a tripod collar for the Canon 200 f/2.8L (original). Just sold the lens but kept the tripod collar as it also fits the original 300 f/4L lens which I have also sold. Guess I don't need it anymore so if you are interested, make me an offer.</p>

<p>Thanks Michael. I just renewed my subscription.</p>

<p>Not really. I can't tell from that whether my subscription has expired or not. Where can I find the date my subscription is due for renewal?</p>

<p>Several years ago, I replaced my 2200 with a 2880 when they had it on sale. I unplugged the 2200 and shoved it to the side and it just sat there for over a year. One day, I was wanting to try out an old laptop so plugged the 2200 in and hooked it to the laptop. Ran several cleaning cycles, had to replace a couple of the ink cartridges (but not all) and it worked like a champ.<br> I'd run a bunch of cleaning cycles instead of replacing the cartridges right off. You might be pleasantly surprised and you have nothing to lose. And Epson still has the ink.<br> Good luck.</p>
