yeah, ran into that issue myself. You can find it on some sites as a microsoft office replacement or freeware office programs, or something of that sort.

I know that there are no articles discussing it in the magazine, and they used to put a cardboard insert with the magazine listing the programs on the disk of the montly issue if you bought on a store's magazine rack. It is not listed at their site http://www.maximumpc.com. I also noticed that http://www.majorgeek.com listed your program as a hot freeware application!

I meant Maximum PC magazine has it as an awesome alternative to Photoshop, sorry for the confusion.

according to the link to the home page, it's #19 in PC world. Yeah, I should have looked at the thread you mentioned, forgot to look for it. Also, love the avatar, go Stargate! Thanks Myrddin, with your name I guess your'e a fan as well, the ancient name for Merlin! And you have a cool sig! But no one has mentioned Maximum PC having paint.net as a program on their discs! I know, weak excuse for starting a thread

I recently looked at two computer magazines. In Maximum PC they provided Paint.net as a great Photoshop alternative (on disc), and PC World listed it #19 in the best 100 products of the year, I believe!

Perhaps if you post one of the images, someone would be able to help you a little bit better? Sage Sage, I decided to put 3 of my pictures on photobucket, so I'll link them here. They are 800x600, one in jpg format and the other two in bmp. Feel free to email me or post if you have any suggestions. :wink: Here are the links: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q276/stargatesuite/david1a.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q276/stargatesuite/michael1a.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q276/stargatesuite/michael2a.jpg

Let me see, I'm not too proud of my pics, and if you are a fan of Stargate SG-1 you'll be truly offended. Is there any stipulations that celebrity pics can't be posted without their permission? If I find that I can I'll post them here. :?

Thanks BarkBark! I was frantically searching the web, looking for a way to go from jpeg to RAW! Saved me the aggravation, now that I can save an image to bitmap or png. Will do so in the future! :o

I figure I was a little better than 30 ft away! Damn preferred tickets! If I had Gold Tickets I would have been anywhere from 5 to fifteen feet away. And since in was in a conference room, the lighting stunk. Read my instruction manual later, which said that this was one of the scenarios where you need to change your light and /or ISO setting. Yeah it's a digital camera, Panasonic Lumix with image stabilization and 6x optical zoom. A couple of my friends there had SLR's, with 10 to 12x optical. I figure if I dealt with using the optical zoom, and zoomed in after the photos were on my hard drive, I wouldn't have these problems. Another issue was people's heads in my way. It kinda pushed me into digital zooming. Is there a free way to put point and shoot images into RAW format? I figured PhotoShop cornered the market on that. Which brought me to my initial question, because I thought I saw a tutorial for PhotoShop in which there was a way to highlight a section of an image with a lasso or something like that and correct a blurred image pixel by pixel. If that is the only way in both instances, I'll chalk it up to a learning experience and do some test shots before dealing with taking scifi celebrity shots and crying about it later. Thanks guys!

Hi everyone! This is my first post in the forum, and made sure to read the sticky posts to avoid getting myself in a bind. My question relates to two other posts that weren't truly answered. I recently went to a con in Vancouver, and took some celebrity photos. It was my first time taking faraway shots, and needless to say, they didn't come out as good as they appeared on the camera's lcd screen. They came out a little blurry or out of focus. I noticed another member asked about this, but I was unsure if he had the same problem. I have found two programs that supposedly will fix out of focus pictures, Unshake and Neat Image. I know sharpen in Paintdotnet doesn't help. Is there a way in this program that can be used to fix my pictures? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, startreksuite
