<p>Thank You Paul, very well stated as is "Painter of Nothing". Mirrors are useful ornaments but often we don't see our own true faces, ... "the greater understanding and perceptions". These would be really interesting and refreshing rather than this "sorry-arsed" tossing of repetitious philosophical, sometimes, good shit. Sorry guys, I'm a 2 year newbie and realize I am on sacred ground.</p>

I would like to create a folio print look around my photographs on my portfolio pages. Like a black frame with white. Can this be done? If

so how? Thank You Judi

If you are using Mac OS X select your photos from your library or album. From the share menu choose export. From the

format pop-up menu you can select JPG. You then have the choice of exporting full size images or smaller. Selecting full

size images exports photos the same size as the original taken by your camera or you can select specific dimensions in

pixels. I export to my desktop to use. If you have a software program that came with your camera, that may guide you on

your PC; if that's what you use. Judi

I use an iMac Tiger and store most of my photo library in iphoto. I have had hi res photos stolen that I put on a CD and gave over to an ad

agency. " Live and Learn" Any suggestions for the best way to share these on a CD using lo res and still have them look great, if

possible? What size to use and how to? Thanks Judi

Frankly, the article sounds like incomprehensible drivel but my criticism is "purely

subjective"!

I recently found some of my photos hanging on the walls of a large resort hotel in the form

of some kind of a painting. I did not know nor did I give permission . They have been

changed enough to probably protect the artist from a lawsuit but I am shocked as to how my

captured moments have been manipulated. The beauty captured has been raped. I guess it

should be flattering that they liked them well enough to do that but I was devastated when I

saw them. Paintings, I think are a rendition of many moments of an individual's creative

imagination. Photography is the instantaneous capture of one wonderful moment seen by no

other. Judi<div></div>

I have had a passion for photography for many years but have only recently been doing the

digital imaging and have gone crazy with my Nikon dSLR. I am a gardener and I love flowers.

Lilies are one of my favorites and I have many photos of the center of the lilies and I do think

them very sensuous looking. I have been putting together an online gallery but after reading

this discussion I feel a little apprehensive and am now in the process of self-analysis. In

portraying "the beauty in the lilies" am I not only " capturing a moment" but revealing a part

of my psyche of which I am not aware? After all these years, maybe I am feeling as open and

vulnerable as the lilies I photograph ? Revelations can be frightening and what if I find a

different me? Judi Howcroft
