Yes, I often stop down to 1 1/2 stopss too, depending on if I'm seeing a lot of light areas in the image. In fact, I don't have a whole lot of time and a big garden, so I have to be efficient. Not knowing what mood I'll be in re depth of field when I look at them later on, I'll take multiple pictures in multiple f stops and in each of those f stops, I'll usually take multiple bracketed exposures, if I explained that right. It's not unusual for me to take 200-300 pictures on a 30 minutes walk around the garden being really efficient! The problem I'm having now is that my lens is too slow and I'm getting lots of slightly blurred images. I need a faster lens, which is too expensive for the moment. Re the reds, if you use the magnetic lasso in photoshop you can isolate areas that you want to have a separate exposure. Also, there is now very exciting new technology by Nik software where you can just click on any area and change that area. I'll definitely be getting that at some point. In the meantime, if it's really a problem, I'll isolate the part of the image I need to change with the magnetic lasso or just manipulate the exposure with levels, but I don't like super saturated reds, so I'll underexpose the reds by a variety of settings to be sure that there is detail in the bloom later on. Working with the exposure should help with the color. If not, you can always manipulate the individual color tones.

Looks ok no McAfee files present. Some start up items running those are the 04 entries.Those entries always start when you log on most of them are not necessary and use ram.

Click Fix Checked Close Hijackthis Reboot the computer. Check to see if entries are gone by doing another scan and saving a log file. Keep the log for future reference. If any functions are lost Hijackthis keeps a back ups and are easily restored. I don't expect that to be the case. We are not removing anything just stopping it from running. If you don't stay ahead of start ups soon lots and lots of things are running and the computer slows to a crawl.

Charlene any time you are going to get things like your fonts or any other downloads like that make it a habit to always before you open the file on your pc, immediately after you download it just go to that file and right click and choose to scan it with your antivirus program then make sure your malwarebytes is updated and do the right click scan and use malwarebytes too, if you do this you will prevent opening a potential infected file to your pc. Keeping malwarebytes updated is essential so that when you do a right click scan it has all the latest definitions, your antivirus program gets them automatically but with malwarbytes you have to open the program and hit update. Also running malwarebytes at least once a week, fully updated and full scan is a very good habit to get into. and we have to all remember when something is offered to us free sometimes there is a reason and it comes with a nasty little bonus unfortunately they love to add those to stuff like wallpaper, fonts, smilies, all the nice fun stuff. I would definitely never get anything from the site you got those from they are not a trust worthy site. Are you using WOT on your pc? Free Internet Security WOT Web of Trust

One of the things that an older interior designer told me was that when perpectives were hand drawn the patient understood that it was a representation of the kitchen and that it was an artistic view. Once the better virtual programs came to be, the rendering looked so like a photograph that it was often interpreted that the kitchen would look *exactly* like the rendering, and this is not so. The programs can manipulate and spread space, so the "real" will Not look exactly like the virtual--and the client is disappointed.
