...When I got home, I had to adjust them in Photoshop Elements. If I make the same blunder on the D40, I could lighten up the shots right on the camera, which saves the edited image as a separate file, in case you don't like the fix.

Then some entrepreneur sees a business opportunity: Let's bring in bigger monkeys to solve the problem...
...news article "To 'Kill' or To Fix? A Clash Over UC's Future" mischaracterized remarks by Undergraduate Council presidential candidates Brian S. Gillis '07-'08 and Tim R. Hwang '08 at Thursday night's presidential campaign. Neither candidate said that he does not hope to win the presidential race. Hwang has said that he intends to prevail and subsequently to dismantle the UC.

He has vowed to transfer the presidency...
