Hi You don't say what type of camera and computer you are using. With my wifes old camera, it was the strap that would get in the photo when the photo was a vertical. The solution for this and your finger is to "chimp", in other words take a look at the photo you just took retake if neccessary. Chimp the act of reviewing every exposure taken.. Also try and learn where you can put your fingers so they aren't in front of the lens. Something you can try is taking a piece of kitchen twine and taping it to the camera thus creating a "do not cross line." Photoshop is great at getting rid of not wanted stuff. A lower cost alternative is Photoshop Lightroom, Around $200 for new version, $99 for upgrades. It is designed to do about 95% of what the Pros do. My wife has iMac PPC4, OS 10.5.8. I loaded Lightroom 2 on it and it runs great. Lightroom 3 & 4 do not support the PPC versions. See if you can find somebody with a copy of the appropriate version of lightroom that is not maxed out on tne numbers of computers it is on and see if it will work for you. (I'm maxed out as it's also on my laptop) I do use both Lightroom and Photoshop, everything goes into Lightroom first. Keyword, get rid of bad photos, and make adjustments and the like. Anything that I can't do in Lightroom then goes into Photoshop. Rick Pulliam

Can anyone recommend an App that is > simple to use and gets rid of unwanted objects? Photoshop's Healing brush is totally awesome at this, but Snapheal is also supposed to be very good at it. I used to have this problem. I solved it by getting a new camera that didn't let me stick my fingers in the image easily :-) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
