 Here's the second in my series of 5 reviews of Photoshop CS5's new features. This one is on "content aware fill" that makes simple work of removing nearly anything from your photos. Stunning stuff.

 I spent some time reading through Trey Ratcliff's StuckInCustoms.com latest posting, and was fascinated by some of the images he's produced. But that's nothing new. Trey has developed a master's expertise in HDR imagery, and I've followed his work there. But this is a different kind of imaging altogether.

 Camping in the mountains of North Carolina is always a joy. This week we are just outside Boone, NC, at Honey Bear Campground. We were here last year at about this same time of year. It's only about a one hour drive from home, but feels like a different world altogether. The campground advertises full hookups and free WiFi, but having used many 'free WiFi' installations in campgrounds around the country, I was prepared to get what we paid for.

 I've been working with a nice little device from Digital FOCI called the Picture Porter 35. Its main use is as a portable backup device for digital photographers, but it does a lot more than that. It has a 3.5" LCD where you can view your photos either individually or as a slide show. But that same LCD lets you watch movies, and the headphone jack lets you listen to the movies or MP3 music files.

Freeing your business from managing an IT infrastructure can free you to focus on servicing customers, but you can't just walk away from your servers and applications. Here's how to get started ... smart.

 This month, I've cut my phone line. Actually I abandoned a traditional POTS phone for my business a few years ago. Since then I've used a variety of VoIP providers including Packet8 and Vonage. I've been able to keep the same phone number by transporting it to each successive provider. As of yesterday, I've moved from any kind of cable based VoIP, and so far (one day's experience) I'm mostly happy with what I have.

 Google can be a pretty scary thing if you're trying to keep your identity at least moderately safe. It's easy enough to type in a phone number, address, or name, and come up with information you may not expect to find - at least out in the open. I suggest you do this periodically, as a check on your own identity. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, and in the scheme of things, not something that's likely to draw the attention of marketers and folks wanting to sell things to you. It's really Facebook that's digging into your personal life.

 Today I created my first HDR from within Photoshop. This was done with Photoshop CS5's newly updated HDR function. I've never used PS's HDR capability before, even though it's been part of PS for at least a couple years. That's because, according to pretty much any authority, creating an HDR in Photoshop just wasn't worth the effort. This time, however, I think they have a decent product. Take a look at my first attempt.

 Earlier this week I downloaded the evaluation copy of Adobe's CS5. The whole thing takes up 2 DVDs, so that meant that the download was about 15GB. Even with my relatively speedy cable connection, the download took most of the day. So, it wasn't till the next morning that I found out I wasn't able to install from the ISO files. The install procedure simply quit in the middle of the process and displayed an 'error 7' along with more than 150 specific errors. Interestingly, the error messages indicated that the OS didn't meet the requirements of the installation.
