Thanks, Cynthia. I knew about "cloning" but have not actually tried it in a photo yet. As for it being cricket: that's not a concern here. When I was growing up, it was not unusual to hear people use the expression "make a photographic record" - the idea being that a photograph somehow captured something objective and permanent about something. In the digital world, everything is a bag of tricks: is there anything we can't manipulate? Virtual, indeed! I last used film five years ago. I love the freedom of digital photography. Jim McKenney
