It just gives you a little border of pixels you can crop away once you've straightened the horizon. From: David Parsons Yeah, I was referring to not being able to see the entire frame. It's pretty difficult to frame accurately, in-camera when you can't see the edge of the frame. On Sun, Jul 3

It also assumes that "level" in your viewfinder is "level" on the sensor. I know that I have a tendency to tilt images, so when I remember I try to correct myself. But sometimes, evenm when I'm sure that I've been scrupulously careful in lining up a vertical object with the edge of the frame, I

The problem with that philosophy is you end up with an ever shrinking, self selected minority choosing for you. It actually aggravates the problem. In fact, that's what *they* want you to do, stay home and let their supporters choose for you. It's why elections are the way they are now. *They
