Superb paper - use it for scrapbooking!
2008-12-02This is hands-down the best paper we have ever used! We have been using it now for over 5 years for my wife's scrapbooking hobby and any time we need to print a quality photo.
This paper dries instantly - even though I use a generic ink with our Epson printer. The ink will not smear and the paper has a professional-looking finish and coating.
We gladly pay 75 cents or more per sheet for this photo paper - it's great!

The best paper for my Canon printer.
2008-10-01I have a Canon Pro 9000 printer and print at home using my desktop PC, and Adobe 5.0 software. I initially tried the highest quality paper from four manufactures, until I had a nozzle problem. Having bought the two year extended warranty and calling Canon, they sent me to a local repair expert who got me a brand new replacement Pro 9000, and I have used Canon Photo Paper Pro ever since without any need to even clean the nozzles. I have a Nikon film camera, FE model and am ecstatic that I can get CD's and rival ANY pro photo shop I have ever tried. It's a dream come true as I used to use the Beseler two step subtractive chemicals in a dark room closet at home with the Beseler 23c series. This is so much easier and so consistent. No comparison.

Best photo paper you can buy
2008-09-10I use this paper for all of my prints on the MP530 and the picture quality is incredible. It is as good as or better than most commercial reprint places so I always print my own picture.

I ordered paper too big for my printer, be careful when ordering
2008-06-18I returned this for 4x6 and 5x7 paper. Makes excellent quality photos from your camera printer

Wow!
2008-01-31I have used many different brands and types of paper for printing photos, but I have been completely won over by this paper. I have had so many compliments on the "photo lab" look, and many people turn the photos over to see where they were processed! While it is expensive paper (which is why I gave 4 stars rather than 5), it is the only one I'll use to print my keeper photos. I have friends who say they have switched to using this, too.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...

Camera Parts & Features - these are standard or basic features on a camera. Your camera may have different features. If you have any questions, please e-mail me.
View Finder - A small eyepiece or screen on the camera that allows you to see the image you're recording. (The camera also acts as a VCR, so you can play back and watch what you have already recorded through the view finder).
White Balance - If you ever ended up with yellow-tinted video, chances are you forgot to white balance. It's worthwhile to white balance every time you use your camera to get the highest quality video. If your camera doesn't have this feature, it may have an automatic or internal system. What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
