AIE - Automatic Image Enhancement

Xerox has invented printer software that automatically adjusts small areas in a picture, at a time, to correct contrast problems. This technique is called local contrast enhancement. Xerox has named their technique AIE - Automatic Image Enhancement. AIE will soon be found in xerox printers, and may be included in image enhacement software.

ALL-IN-ONE (AIO or MFD) PHOTO PRINTERS (no FAX)

ENSURE it comes with (or you can download) DRIVERS for

YOUR Version of Windows (including 32-bit or 64-bit versions).

MY preference would be a CANON (NON-AIO) Printer

Based on Ownershop & Reviews, I RECOMMEND THE CANON PIXMA MP990 AIO PRINTER.

Only buy a FAX machine if you can turn incoming faxes OFF

CANON PIXMA MP990 WIRELESS AIO PRINTER

CONTRARY TO WHAT CANON SAYS, INSTALL ONLY FROM THE CD (NOT the Internet). I am not normally fond of AIO devices - they usually fall short when attempting to do everything. However, I bought one of these MP990s when my beloved I9900 Photo Printer Died. As Canon told me, the MP990 does print photos every bit as great as my old I9900 (although the MP990 maxes out at boarderless 8.5x11 Pictures. I found the MP990 for $130 at Amazon.com (free shipping)(new, sold by Amazon). Picture quality is excellent. Standalone Copying was excellent, I did have to make the colors a little darker, to totally match the original that I scanned. I have had it for only 3 days, now. Note - this unit does not do any FAXing, but it can be used as a stand-alone copier without needing to be connected to a computer. Copy Reduction / Enlargement = 25%-400% READ THE REVIEWS - Noisy, may sometimes print your one page output spread over two pages (that is not correct). I am so far using it from 3 computers, via an ethernet network. It does have a single port for a USB connection to a computer. If you use an ethernet connection, you have your choice of EITHER 1] Wireless (IEEE802.11g and will operate in the 2.4GHz), or 2] Wired Ethernetnet (but NOT both). The MP990 accepts "PictBridge" and can print directly from various memory cards, infared devices and has an optional Bluetooth connection. It uses Six ink cartridges. Compatible memory cards include SD Memory Card, SDHC , MultiMediaCard, MultiMediaCard Plus, CompactFlash Card, Microdrive, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo. The following memory cards can be used with the addition of a special adapter sold separately: miniSD Card, miniSDHC, microSD Card, microSDHC, RS-MMC, Memory Stick Micro, xD-Picture Card, xD-Picture Card (Type M), and xD-Picture Card (Type H). So far, I like it very much. Max. Paper Size: 8.5x14 inches Max. Resolution (Color): 9,600x2,400dpi Max.

BATTERY CHARGERS
At the moment, I have no experience with these companies
Battery charger - Wikipedia Be sure to read about problems with Batteries and Chargers that only have TWO ELECTRICAL LEADS (the new standard is THREE CONNECTIONS). www.eBatts.com Canon Battery Chargers Amazon.com: Digital Camera Battery Chargers Abe's of Maine NiMH Battery Charger Comparison Table Schumacher Adorama BH Photo Video EastStar (via Amazon) Snap-tDigital (via Amazon)
BATTERIES FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS
Should you get a camera that uses standard "AA" batteries (the size - the batteries themselves could be rechargeable or throw-away [dsicard legally and safely]), or a camera that uses a custom made battery? Cameras with custom made batteries will provide more pictures per full battery charge, and really advanced digital cameras always use a custom battery. While the custom sized camera batteries will give you more pictures per full charge, you have to ensure that they are always charged. I found that even with two such batteries, when those special occasions arose, the batteries were never charged and would take hours to charge, so NO Digital pictures. I finally got so tired of not having charged batteries when needed, that, for my more simple digital cameras, I bought cameras that used "AA" sized batteries. I use rechargeable "AA" batteries, but then if the batteries run out and I have no charged spare batteries, I use non-rechargeable batteries (you will probably have to buy Lithium-ion batteries to produce enough current to run your camera - check you camera's specifications). Most digital cameras seem to use custom batteries, but you can find very good, easy-to-use digital cameras that use "AA" size batteries. For sophisticated cameras, you will have to buy one that takes custom rechargeable batteries. NOTE - THIS IS LESS AND LESS TRUE AS TIME GOES BY
Do NOT Buy Camera Batteries/Chargers with only two Electrical Leads
WARNING: I bought some generic Batteries and Battery Chargers for my 2Ti, but ended up throwing them away. The OEM batteries now all come with three electrical connections on them. The Third connection is used to monitor battery temperature while charging and often other purposes. Thus units with only two connectors may work fine, BUT they are much more dangerous as they are more likely (might never) to catch fire and explode. Some Vendors are using more than Three connections. I suggest that you examine an Original Equipment battery and charger before buying replacements. Also, ensure that the new battery has at LEAST the same Voltage and Capacity (usually stated in mAh [milliampere-hour (mA·h or mAh)]). Battery Replacement Requirements - SUMMARY: 1) Has to be the correct size 2) Has to be the correct voltage 3) Has to be the correct capacity (OR BETTER) 4) In my OPINION, have the same number of battery "leads" ("wires").

bit - A binary digit - the smallest piece of digital data possible. bit rate - The number of bits (data sent) measured over a specified time - also called the data rate. nits - Candela per square metre - a (video / SI) measure of brightness. more NERO 7 - I've been told that NERO 7 will NOT allow to create backups of your own, purchased music CDs that employ the copy protection flag. I understand that NERO does not want to help music pirates, who does, but since NERO 7 seems to preclude making a backup copy of your own purchased, music CD, so you can use it in the car and (the same copy) at work (or for the kids), without causing any wear and tear on your original purchase, which is stored safely away, and not played: I CAN NOT RECOMMEND NERO 7, Unless you need something only NERO has. I've also read that NERO 6.6 does NOT have this problem. Nero Tutorials ROXIO's Easy Media Creator 8 Suite - I do NOT know if the latest version of Roxio, Roxio Easy media Creator 8 Suite, allows you to create one backup copy of your purchased, copyrighted, music CD or not - you might want to find out. I've heard that Easy Media Creator 7.5 does NOT have this problem.

CAMERA SENSOR DUST BUSTERS: Olympus was first to combat the problem of dust on the digital camera's sensor, called sensor vibration technology, in 2003. Sony's new Alpha Digital SLR has a similar technology. Cannon has now introduced the most comprehensive system, EOS cleaning system. Canon designed the low-pass filter, separating it into two parts (reducing the chance for dust to get on the sensor), added vibration technology and feature that maps any remaining particles to remove them with software.

DIGITAL CAMERA (Point-and-Shoot)(Digicams) REVIEWS, SPECIFIC
See also BATTERY TYPES FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS Tastes very. For myself, while I look at all cameras each time I need to buy one, I always seem to not like Fujifilm, nor Kodak point-and-shoot cameras. I usually do not like Panasonic cameras, although, this year (12/2009) I'm tempted by one of the Panasonic point-and-shoot cameras. I haven't liked Samsung cameras, but I will check out the Samsung HZ15W. I rarely find a Sony that fits my needs. This time, the Sony DSC-HX1 may do the job. BUT I bought both a Canon T2i, with an 18-200mm lens, and a Canon HF-R100. While I've had both Nikon and Olympus digital cameras in the past, these days I usually prefer a Canon point- and-shoot digital camera.

SanDisk Extreme SDHC Cards - SanDisk HERE IS WHAT ROB HAD TO SAY ABOUT CLASS 10 SDHC FLASH CARDS (scroll down) - Amazon.com: "This review is from: SanDisk 16GB Extreme - SDHC Class 10 High Performance memory card (SDSDX3-016G-P31, Retail Packaging) - NEW 30MB/s version Regarding complaints about performance with HD camcorders: SDHC cards are rated in MegaBytes per second (MB/sec). HD camcorders are rated in Megabits per second (Mb/sec). There are 8 bits per Byte. Therefore, an HD camcorder with 24Mb/sec video capture requires (24Mb/sec) / (8Mb/MB) = 3MB/sec SDHC card. A Class 4 SDHC card with at least 4MB/sec data transfer is more than enough to capture full HD. Those camcorders are not designed to work with Class 6 and Class 10 cards. Remember that Full HD, 1920 x 1080 pixels = 2,073,600 pixels, or 2 Megapixels. Digital SLRs shoot at 12 Megapixels with minimal lag time between shots requiring much higher data transfer rates than HD camcorders. Consequently, people who use Extreme Class 10 SDHC cards with high speed digital SLRs seem happy, but people using them with HD camcorders are not. It can be confusing, but you must use the appropriate card for your application. Faster is not always better."

PrintMaster
OUR OPINIONS - OUR PROFESSIONAL FRIENDS AGREE WITH OUR OPINIONS ABOUT PRINTMASTER My wife has had at least seven versions of PrintMaster. She just wants to make nice, custom cards, using great included graphics and her own pictures. The earlier the version, the better looking included graphics (opinion of EVERYONE I have ever talked to, about PrintMaster). We have ALWAYS found that apparent software bugs cause problems with projects that my wife created with PrintMaster. Of the versions that I had, Only one would run WITHOUT having to have the Printmaaster media (CD or DVD online) - How stupid! Note that PrintMaster has been sold at least once (twice, I think), and the the current owner, Broderbund, did not originally develop it. READ THE INTERNET FOR HUNDREDS OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT PRINTMASTER. Everytime I was going to upgrade again, the comments on the Internet stated tha the "latest version' was worse that before, and the included graphics even worse and in fewer numbers. I like the support people! PrintMaster VERSIONS THAT I KNOW WE HAVE HAD (I have the licenses/manuals): PrintmMaster Gold PrintMaster Platinum PrintMaster Gold 4.0 PrintMaster Gold 8 PrintMaster Platinum 10 PrintMaster Gold 12 PrintMaster Gold 16 BroderBund is bringing out a new version of PrintMaster, PrintMaster Platinum 2.0 I see by the publisher's review, PrintMaster Platinum 2.0 comes on DVD and you can install all, part, non of the clip-art, as desired. PrintMaster 2.0 can NOT read any projects created by earlier versions of PrintMaster. PrintMaster PROBLEMS / FORUMS: PrintMaster problems - pcreview.co.uk/forums printmaster problems - FixYa PrintMaster 15 - Knowledge Base Articles (25) - Support | Encore Perplexing PrintMaster Puzzler - will NOT read files from older versions: "Just purchased Print Master 2.0 thinking it was an upgrade from Print Master 18, but found (in conversation with Broderbund customer service) that the two programs were developed and produced by different companies. I discoved only after installing Print Master 2.0 that it does NOT RECOGNIZE any of the projects/files created in Print Master 18." "Art is so small, you have to open it to tell what it is" Earlier versions of PrintMaster were rather glichy - PM Platinum 12 PrintMaster 16 OWNERS PROBLEMS (scroll down) If you have PrintMaster 10 or earlier, do NOT bother with this version (11)

SPEED RATINGS of FLASH CARD CLASSES
You MUST use a flash card rated at least as fast as your camera specification calls for, or else you may experience dropouts when recording video, and longer pauses between single picture shots (non-video). Note that Manufacturers rate their own cards - not one checks the actual rate of the flash card. Secure Digital - Wikipedia: " Class 2 = 16 Mbit/s (2 MB/s) Class 3 Class 4 32 Mbit/s (4 MB/s) Class 5 Class 6 48 Mbit/s (6 MB/s) Class 7 Class 8 Class 9 Class 10 80 Mbit/s (10 MB/s)" - Wikipedia NOTE - I now have Class 10 cards rated at 20 MBs/second. WARNING the Canon T2i will NOT shoot video on a higher than CLASS 6 card. I do not know about the T4i nor the T3i, HOWEVER, You CAN use Class 10 in the T2i for pictures (not video) HERE IS WHAT ROB HAD TO SAY ABOUT CLASS 10 SDHC FLASH CARDS (scroll down) - Amazon.com: "This review is from: SanDisk 16GB Extreme - SDHC Class 10 High Performance memory card (SDSDX3-016G-P31, Retail Packaging) - NEW 30MB/s version Regarding complaints about performance with HD camcorders: SDHC cards are rated in MegaBytes per second (MB/sec). HD camcorders are rated in Megabits per second (Mb/sec). There are 8 bits per Byte. Therefore, an HD camcorder with 24Mb/sec video capture requires (24Mb/sec) / (8Mb/MB) = 3MB/sec SDHC card. A Class 4 SDHC card with at least 4MB/sec data transfer is more than enough to capture full HD. Those camcorders are not designed to work with Class 6 and Class 10 cards. Remember that Full HD, 1920 x 1080 pixels = 2,073,600 pixels, or 2 Megapixels. Digital SLRs shoot at 12 Megapixels with minimal lag time between shots requiring much higher data transfer rates than HD camcorders. Consequently, people who use Extreme Class 10 SDHC cards with high speed digital SLRs seem happy, but people using them with HD camcorders are not. It can be confusing, but you must use the appropriate card for your application. Faster is not always better."
UHSI-I - A NEW CLASSIFICATION FOR EVVEN FASTER FLASH CARDS
I have a UHSI-I card rated READ: 90MB/S WRITE: 45MB/S. "UHS-I cards, specified in SD Version 3.01,[40] support a clock frequency of 100 MHz (a quadrupling of the original "Default Speed"), which in four-bit transfer mode could transfer 50 MB/s. UHS-I cards declared as UHS104 also support a clock frequency of 208 MHz, which could transfer 104 MB/s. UHS-I is the only class for which products are currently available." - Wikipedia SQUEEZED VIDEO - same as anamorphic.

REVIEW, Testing out disposable camcorders Video Connectors WAV - WAV was a joint development effort between IBM and Microsoft. Any program that plays audio files should be able to play Windows .wav files. WAV files are not compressed. WAV files use an average bit rate of 1411.2Kbps. Note that the typical MP3 files bit rate is 128Kbps, creating a much smaller file.
