    That's amazing, Ron :!: I wonder what the occasion was :?: I zoomed in on several people, and they all look very serious. You can see their faces in detail though, which is incredible in such a large crowd. It's a bit scary though- Big Brother is watching you :shock: :shock:

    It makes you think doesn't it? Even in a large crowd BIG BROTHER is watching you.

    You see this sort of thing on the FBI shows, it's fascinating how cameras can zoom in with complete accuracy.

    Not quite as good as the Photosynth system that I tested a few years ago, prior to its release.

    I photographed my old workbench as an initial piece. View it as a 3D composite at http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=68db9995-296b-475f-a98f-2a1b10c2c75b where you can both move around by clicking on parts the picture and zooming right in using the controls at the bottom.

    I also did the Tin Man at Brownhills http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=7e37fbd2-7ab1-4bfe-ad26-14c1ad9415e5

    WOW, I thought Ron's was good but that is fantastic! Love your workbench :grin:
    My workbench works for its living. I previously used it every day for 20 years when I was a toolmaker. When I left, it came with me. Now it lives happily in my workshop where I took the pics. 8)

    That's very impressive, Joseph :grin: I particuarly liked the Dalek and the model of a chef on the shelf. Your workbench is like a work of art in it's own right. I think it should go on display at Tate Modern :grin:

    Joan :grin:

    Photoshop Elements is reckoned to be a very useful piece of software for improving photos at a reasonable cost. Look at the minimum specs to check if the computer has enough RAM memory to cope or it will slow right down. I use Paintshop Pro but I think that is too complicated for an amateur.

    Do you need the extra printer/scanner/copier facilities as well, rather than just a photo printer for a similar cost? Modern printers will have a 'Best Photo' setting in the Print Preferences which should print off good photos for you. The really cheaper printers are often much noisier, but shop around for a bargain and look at the cost of replacement cartridges too as colour printing eats them very, very quickly. It is important to also use a premium photo paper, that is usually neglected and ordinary A4 paper is not good enough. There are lots of reviews at http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/printers/13/

    The program will only run on a Windows computer, not an Apple Mac. Full info is available at http://photosynth.net/about.aspx
    How they are created is at http://photosynth.net/create.aspx download the Photosynth program from there and start off with a small object as shown in the full guide at http://mslabs-777.vo.llnwd.net/e1/documentation/Photosynth Guide v8.pdf

    And its all free.

    I have done photographic manipulations for many years and found the best program to use is Paint Shop Pro it’s easier to use than Photoshop and not as expensive or as professional’ which is not needed for most users. I joined a group on line to learn the program which was good and very explanatory. http://www.pspug.org/ Wishing the best >>> Ella
