Joe CharityAugust 29, 2007
When I got my first digital camera six or seven years ago, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I started experimenting with my new camera (or so I thought) taking all kinds of pictures, like portraits, outdoor, landscape, indoor and anything else I could think of. The only problem was, I was stuck on auto...

Goodbye to Clogged Printer Nozzles
Tom Hubbard August 24, 2007
Although I’ve been completely digital for over 7 years, my most nagging printer problem has been clogging. This clogging of the ink jet nozzles shows up as white streaks (banding) or totally missing colors in the prints.

Using Your Camera's Manual Features
Cindy Maestas
August 20, 2007
Are you struggling to understand all the manual controls in your camera? What is aperture? Depth of field? ISO? White balance? I struggled with these controls too! I knew cameras wouldn't have these controls if they weren’t useful, but I certainly didn’t understand what to do with them. As a result of managing HP’s Digital Photography Center, I’ve learned a lot about these controls and how best to use them. I also learned that it was difficult to find easy to understand explanations of these controls on the web. Most of the information I found took a long time to read and was very technical and hard to understand. I wanted to create something that would explain these controls for the beginner – something that was easy to follow and was interactive and visual ...
