No it isn't. That's what I have used for a long time, and it is not free. Here is current version.

It has less than Photoshop, yes, but more than Photoshop Impressions which used to come free with camera's, don't know if it still does or not.

Here's something to try, does your camera shoot raw? shoot it in raw, then save it as 300ppi jpg without resizing.

Not sure. How do I tell?

I guess they don't include it with all their cameras, it came with both of my dslr's. Acording to a reviewers site, the a530 doesn't allow you to shoot in RAW mode, so you will be stuck with Large, superfine, fine etc...

It looks like the photo is going to be printed at 12x18 inches, so the longest side of your photo should be 5400 pixels at 300ppi... Their entry form states that it should be "at least" 300ppi.

After taking your pic's in large super fine, open the pic in PS, resize the image by changing the long side to 5500, resample with the resolution set to 302? "just for good measure" so it is at least 300ppi? try resubmitting the big file.. I dunno what else to think of, if it doesn't work go for a nikon :P they make good camera's

I saw this at 4:49 this morning (Mr Heylinder the Firefighter got toned out for a signal 25). Anyways, I tried it .... It was taking so long to send that I thought it was not working again so I shut my laptop down.

Surprise! I'm in! I got an email confirmation this morning. Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it I'll remember you when I'm famous

Good tip Cauzomb! So I guess those clowns at Staples even didn't know much about this!

Hey, so, can we get a sneak preview?

Didn't feel like typing out the history of that grave so here's the stone marker

I couldn't even afford that much of it in Southern Cali!

Hey, it looks like a very cool pic, it would have been even a bigger winner if it had some sort of a ghostly white image hovering above the grave!


Heck, may be there was but since your camera doesn't shoot pics at 300ppi, you missed it! lol

My camera takes pictures of ghost ......
