I just saw my children in a photograph on the wall of a chain restaurant. What rights do I have to protect their image? Given what other posters say the US laws are (IANAL), we shouldn't be "afraid" to take pictures of people in public, but, as situations like this highlight, it's important to be sensitive to the people (especially children) whom we photograph, especially if the pictures will later be displayed in public places. |

If I swallowed my SD Card would it be readable when it emerged? I would not risk swallowing an SD card. Aside from choking, there's a possibility that it could become lodged in your intestinal tract or even perforate it. Lodging would necessitate surgery to remove it. A perforation could cause internal bleeding or death from sepsis. A microSD would be a lot safer (just because it's so much smaller) and wrapping it securely in plastic wrap might also make it less sharp and a bit less likely to get stuck. If you made a plastic/rubber "vitamin pill" to insert it into, that might make it a lot safer and disguise it a bit too. |

Which laptop has the best display for photographic processing? I have heard that Apple Retina displays are very good with color accuracy, but I have not used one. |

Canon 60D with SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Class 10 = Card Error I don't do macs, so I don't know the details. What you want is a long format (not quick format), preferably with no other options. If you have another card that works in your camera, see if it's fat32, or whatever exfat is and then use that to format the card in question. MBR is master boot record which "theoretically" shouldn't bother anything, but why open the door to problems if you don't have to. |

Canon 60D with SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Class 10 = Card Error Why would you put any mbr on a memory card for a camera? That's only used if you want to boot from the card. Fast format usually just sets everything as erased, but leaves it there. Long format gets rid of old content. But neither of these should affect the camera's ability to read your card. |

Lightroom plugin development — is it worth it? @Francesco - I'm sure you're right, but you probably need a lot more programming skills and a knowledge of the LightRoom API (or whatever they call the interface for macro writers) to go that route. Although a fair number of people do multiboot or use vms, most people probably stick to one OS and there are similar macro processors for Linux, Windows, and OSX. The hard part is getting the sequence of actions right. For most simple things, recoding from one macro processor to another is not very difficult. |

How do I compose an image for use as a browser background or wallpaper on a widescreen monitor? The diagram is very helpful. I guess I'll just have to eyeball it when I'm shooting - unless my camera has a CHDK type option to make it easier. |

How do I compose an image for use as a browser background or wallpaper on a widescreen monitor? @drewbenn Great articles! Nothing to do with my question though. I'll check my cameras for the CHDK. One of them (Canon Elph) might have it. I don't have it here to look at now. That might actually be "the answer". |

How do I compose an image for use as a browser background or wallpaper on a widescreen monitor? As you say, the actual ratio for wallpaper would be the screen pixel dimensions, but for the browser with toolbars, etc, it's a lot smaller. Just having 16:9 would still be an easier place to start from. I know neither case is exactly 16:9. As for cropping, that's post processing. The question is about composition. For "normal" pictures, cropping it that severely would ruin most images. They have to be composed "right" to make the cropped image viable. |

Are there any other small cameras comparable to the Canon Powershot elph 310 HS? Whoever voted this question down should at least comment on why they did it. I know I don't know a lot about cameras and photography yet. I come here to learn. If you tell me what you think I did wrong, I can learn from it. Otherwise, it's just a rejection that I can't do anything about and it makes me less likely to post a question (or answer) in this forum again. |

Are there any other small cameras comparable to the Canon Powershot elph 310 HS? My partner writes articles for magazine publication. Most of her pictures so far are of animals, usually at very close range, but sometimes in the distance. She also has plans for books and wants to provide her own pictures for them. The elph can also take pictures very rapidly which can be important when animals are in motion. |

Are there any other small cameras comparable to the Canon Powershot elph 310 HS? We will also be getting a better camera - as mentioned in the original post. She needs this one to be small enough to carry everywhere. She's generally very equipment weight/size conscious. The elph 310 also has more optical zoom than either of those you suggest - important with animals at a distance. We have looked at those other cameras. They are good. |
