I took a bunch of photos using my iPhone XR over the last 2 weeks. I just used the OneDrive app to upload them so I could access them on my PC (Win 10). The photos have date-time info in three different places and none of them agree. Here's one example. Pressing the (i) button on the photo on...

That is one solution. Thanks. On MrExcel, which I consider very well run, the "Solved" flag is mainly for the benefit of others who may be looking for a solution.

Some threads are ongoing discussions. Others are specific questions seeking an answer. The solved flag helps distinguish them. On MrExcel, threads that are marked solved are helpful to people wanting an answer to the same question. Why would XenForo provide a solved option it is as useless as...

Some forums have a way to mark threads "solved". I find this very helpful. One is Mr Excel, which also uses XenForo. I don't see a way to do that here. Is this something that is being considered?

You are correct. The lens was fixed field. I was able to switch to a different lens and able to zoom. Thanks

A friend loaned me his Sony a7III camera just before he went away for a week. He said he will have very limited access to email. He said he had it all set up in Auto mode. I can get everything with the camera to work except for the zoom. He has several lenses in the camera bag. The one that is...

I would appreciate recommendations for a camera that is better than my Nikon Coolpix S8200 for taking these photos, but doesn't cost thousands of dollars. Is there a camera that is significantly better than my Coolpix for around $300?

Thanks. I'll check that out.

Me, too! I do intend to "get it right" -- at least within my time and ability. I feel confident that shooting in full sunlight, but in the shade, and with a better camera will get the results I want. That's my next project. In gratitude for all the help and "encouragement" I received here, I...

OK. I'll try to post a low res version of one of the photos here. The folder also has a PDF document explaining how each photo was taken. OneDrive folder with sample photos Here's a low res version of the one I think is the best. The cut lines are quite clear, especially when zoomed in, which...

To get a general idea of the detail, I took a few test photos of a smaller puzzle (9" x 7") using my Coolpix S8200 camera and my 4' tripod in ambient daylight lighting. The photos are almost 6 MB. I tried to upload one here, but was told it is too big. I can use Irfanview to resize it. What's...

Thanks for the heads up. If I can't find another product that can do the job and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, I might buy a one-year licxense and try to get all of the puzzles done in that year.

Wow. I am more than a little intimidated by all that. I don't doubt that you are correct, but I fear that even if I went out and bought all that gear, I wouldn't be able to use it correctly. However, I agree that getting a good photograph is the first step. Is there a second (or third) best...

It would have been nice to have gotten some indication that this was done

About a week ago, around 5/8, I started a thread entitled, "Help a novice get a good photo of a jigsaw puzzle". There were at least 8 replies over the next 2-3 days. I just tried to access it but got this message I did not delete it -- at least not intentionally. I think it is thread number...
