I have a number of email addresses that I use for different purposes.
One them, until recently, was my primary address that I used for 95%
of my outgoing email. When I composed an email in Mail, Mail would
default to this address under "Account." I recently changed my
primary address to the address I'm using for this post, although the
old primary address will work for a while longer. I went into
preferences for Mail to add the new address, and I even made a point
of making it first on the list. But when I compose an email, Mail
defaults to the old address and I have to use the Account pulldown to
select the new one. How do I get it to default to the new one? Thanks!

Howdy.

Lots of applications can try to sharpen an image.

One of the best is, or course, Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop has several
different sharpen commands. A great one is called Unsharp Mask.

iPhoto may do a little sharpening with the Enhance tool

GraphicConverter can do excellent sharpening. GC is a low cost, very
complete, shareware program.

Note that you have to be careful about sharpening. It can damage an
image. An image that is too blurry can't be made sharp.

If you have access to Photoshop, there is a good trick to know.
Convert the image from RGB to LAB color mode. Then use the Unsharp
Mask tool. In LAB mode you will be able to move the sharpening bar a
lot more without doing as much damage to the image. When done convert
back to RGB mode.

You might check MacUpdates for freeware small apps and utilities for
sharpening.

I found 4videosoft has a Mac Blu-Ray to MP4 ripper. It does a nice job, but
is painfully slow (roughly 3x the runtime of the video to convert.)
I discovered I con copy the entire contents of the Blu-Ray to a Mac disc
just using Finder copy. 4videosoft can then read the hard disk copy as if
it were a Blu-Ray disc.

I don't have a solution for your problem, but I do know that I wouldn't waste money on buying any anti-virus app¡Kit's completely irrelevant for a Mac, IMO. (I've been using Macs since 1986 and have never had a virus¡KI'm not sure there even ARE any.)
