Hello. Once upon a time I had a free program that allowed converting images to quite consistent ones, in batches, via control of white. I've lost it, and now I can't find anything but Adobe Photoshop, unless counting ones that include coding. It's for my dear Uncle, who makes an effort to scan...

Since it appears that my old camera has gone partially inop, I'm thinking of buying another. However I used the old one so little, that I didn't learn much that is of use in buying something else. I want one that is reliable as possible with a good warranty of a good name brand, at a price of...

Until a week or so ago, my Canon PowerShot SD1000 camera worked just fine. I bought a new Gateway DX4860 desktop last December and was importing pictures from my camera using Picasa 3 with no problem -- did it several times. (I connect with a USB cord.) Then about a week ago I could not...

Vista 'organisation' bar in Windows 7's explorer? I've just got a Windows 7 64 bit laptop to go out and about with, but one of the main features that I miss off my main Vista desktop is this bar, which is very much like the one that you get in the 'details' view in Windows 7. The differences...
