**Cleaning up my holiday snaps**
|
|
|
|
**Q: **My recent holiday shots include a lot of Venice taken from the waterbus
|
|
as it wound its way up the Grand Canal. The images are lovely and clear, but
|
|
there's quite a lot of camera shake, resulting in the water and horizon lines
|
|
looking wonky. Is there any way of correcting this using editing software?
|
|
|
|
_David S Myles, by email_
|
|
|
|
**A: **Most photo-editing programs have the facility to manually rotate and
|
|
then crop an image but there's a much easier way, and I suggest Google's free
|
|
photo manager and editing program, Picasa (http://tinyurl.com/6xst6l). Once
|
|
installed, open the first wonky picture by double-clicking on it and in the
|
|
left-hand pane, under Basic Fixes, click Straighten. This overlays a grid on
|
|
photo and by moving the slider right or left you can twist and resize the
|
|
image in one simple operation.
|
|
|
|
**TV channels on a Power Mac**
|
|
|
|
**Q: **I am a Mac user and find that I can access the BBC iPlayer, Channel 4
|
|
and 5 players but not the Sky or ITV Players. As recommended I have Microsoft
|
|
Silverlight installed. Is this because I am using a Power Mac?

**A: **Unfortunately Sky Player only runs on Intel-based Macs but ITV Player
|
|
is a web-based application. In other words it doesn't matter which operating
|
|
system you are using, The only proviso is your browser must have the Adobe
|
|
Flash plug-in. It's highly unlikely that it's not installed on your machine
|
|
but just in case it's been deleted, or it's corrupt try reloading it from
|
|
Apple's download site [**here**][5].
