    printing companies

    Can anyone recommend a company that does good, professional printing of photos that doesn't cost the earth? On-line preferred or Belfast based if in-shop. Thanks.

    help with rounding corners

    I was hoping someone out there could walk me through how to put rounded corners on my photos through Photoshop (I have version 7). p.s. - is CS3 a much better version than PS7?? Worth upgrading?? And if I have PS7 - is it worth having Lightroom as well?? Thanks, Zoe

    help me to add a black background

    sorry - hate to be a bother again - but being a beginner at all this, I need a few more steps - where is the highlights and exposure you're talking about? No doubt it's simple as anything and I'm being a bit clueless...but I'm having trouble getting to that step and the adobe book isn't helping me.

    Camera/lens advice

    I don't know if I want to switch from Canon at all - but I hear so many people rave about the Nikon - personally I'm happy with the Canon, but if I invest in lenses, I want to know I am going to be happy with it long term - especially if I upgrade in the near future....oh, so many decisions...
