Need Help with Big Printer Problem!

by Carl Farley for Priss Fletcher . . .  

I need help!  We  have an HP PSC 2210 All-In-One printer that is “stuck.”  After removing a jammed piece of paper, the message continues to read “Clear carriage jam, and then press Enter.”  We have done this and tried several other possible solutions in our HP manual to no avail.   Does anyone have a suggestion?  I’ve tried an interesting source for ideas FixYourOwnPrinter.com, but not being much of a techie, some of the ideas are over my head?  Maybe the solution is just to buy a new one.  Sam’s has good prices.  Any low tech ideas would be appreciated.

Taking Photos with an Infrared Camera…how to increase IR light?

by Carl Farley for Bryan Edmonson . . .

I have a budget camera with infrared but it will only film objects about 2-4 feet away, in complete darkness.Do you know how I can find out more about Infrared light sources (like a separate IR projection lamp) . I would illuminate with high IR light levels, so as to be able to see film and clearly see a whole room in complete darkness. Should I Google, Wikipedia? Can you suggest a newsgroup? What would you suggest? I value the opinions of your SIG members. Thanks.

HELP!…New Bride’s Wedding Dress is too White!

by Carl Farley for Dick and Betty Brotzman . . .  

I need to reduce illumination on one SEGMENT (one person) of a photo (bride in a wedding photo.) Others in tuxedos and dark clothes look fine.  Blonde bride in white dress has an eerie white, ghostly glow. 

Can this be done with no-cost photo editing software?  Which? What is the process to do this?

All help would be TRULY appreciated.  I need to do this soon to keep bride happy.
