Thank you for the update...it is really kind of you to let us know how things went.
You were not butting in.....you were looking for advice.
I am sure that I speak for all those who post to this thread, when I say that I hope the swans will be looked after .....and hopefully will recover.

Husband is murmuring about getting an I-pad for work - will it be able to do the same things?

I also have a Very good Nikon editing suite which is free with the higher end cameras.
I have tried it but prefer to keep photos real and try to develop my skills by camera setting, always using manual.
I put borders round photos with uMark copyright software which only costs about a tenner.
I am on my third generation of iPhones and just discovered I can use it to take panoramic photos but you can't beat a true wide angle lens, not fish eye.
I took a lot of photos last week for the Barnoldwick respite centre and printed a few on magnetic paper so they can have fridge magnets with their photos on.
It's my way of putting something back into the community.

I'd assume so with it being a apple device m, there's numerous photography apps but "pic art" (to me) seems very user friendly.



Just downloaded it M, I'll give it a try when I've some free time :)

Today in Pictures, another day of bedlam down at the Cut.

1. It is BargeArama, this barge has just gone through Foster Swing Bridge.
2. Another going in the other direction waits to go through.
3. The boat waiting at the bridge has just bounced off the centre of the structure, and is making no attempt to open the bridge, the bloke waiting had to head to the bridge with the handle.
4. This barge is sporting the flag of New Zealand, I wonder if he has come all this way, I don't think he goes home for dinner.
5. Leaving the mayhem behind, I start to enjoy the tranquillity.
6. Its a swing bridge, that doesn't swing or bridge, will re-position and take another photo now its quiet.
7. BLOOD AND SAND its all kicking off again.
8. This guy was going so fast he was doing water wheelies.
9. Just time for a bit of photographic faffing.
10. Barges a GO-GO has now passed, so its back to bird song, the wind breathing through the flowers, the gentle rustle of the grasses rubbing together,......and the distant lullaby of a pneumatic drill digging up Burnley Road, bliss.

My manipulated pics are obvious(when they bring out a camera that will do colour selection techniques, I will be having one)...and I do it because I like the artisitc effects I can create.....but like you Russell, I do prefer pics to be as natural as possible.
