Thanks guys I have been having another play today with a house plant. I can move that easier than the hanging basket.
Still clipped the ends of the petals but it looks alot better with the background going to black. But i confess I never quite got it right in camera and had to use Photoshop
While I'm online can anyone answer this question? I use elements 6 and it has started saving everything as a jpeg 2000 file (jpf). as opposed to a normal jpeg. Is this because of now usng the Nikon and RAW or is it an update from adobe on elements 6?
