If you have a Flickr account put it on there, share using the BB code at 1200px. There's a tutorial somewhere. Or save at a small size (think it's ~500kb) and upload to TP.

+1 or get her a higher spec camera that is second hand. ETA: avoid bridge cameras.

John - from your OP it seems you want to use direct on camera flash. Ideally you'll want it off camera but that may not be practical. If it's just a bit of fill that you want you'll need to experiment a bit (either using the flash in manual at different settings or if using ETTL using FEC and...

Thanks, I get what you mean now. Will try that tomorrow (camera has been left there for now, didn't want to transport it while it was open).

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the dumb question but which part do you mean by 'the two arms'?

My other half's grandma had this and two others cameras tucked away in a draw. Anybody any idea how to unlock the mechanism so that it will fold back in? Have tried Google but haven't had any luck, so thought here would be a good place to ask. Agfa by -Ian J Bradshaw- Agfa by -Ian J Bradshaw-...

Nothing to add but as I need a new charger thanks for starting the thread OP.

I'd love to shoot different people each time I pick up my camera, Graham is right in that it's due to lack of subjects. I do think twice about posting as I understand people will get sick of the same type of shot of the same kid. The advice has been invaluable, and I'm thankful for the advice...

Can't you carefully steam a section of it off the wall? Stick that in a frame and you'll have the original and not a photo. As for taking the shot - even, diffused lighting would help. Can't be the hardest shot anyone has ever taken. It's flat and static. Point, focus, click. Job should be...

If it's the family shot, in profile, you'd need each image on a separate layer. Mask the layers so that you have faces showing, reposition images to get them how you want, merge layers, adjust levels, etc. Do you have the individual shots already?

Fair enough, but you'd just use the software that came with the camera in that case, which would support the raw files produced by the camera. My reply was about someone unable to use Abobe software because it was older than the camera they had.

How would the way I edit make any difference? Genuine question. I use ACR and PS if more manipulation is required.
