(1) I disagree with the swearing in previous posts, however it is a common comment to RTFM in many situations where this information is clearly outlined. (2) The manual has not significantly changed between 5 and 5.5. In fact, the section on Zooming and Panning is exactly the same as quoted above (pages 25 and 26 of the Bryce 5.5 Manual). Anyone who bought and installed Bryce 5.5 would find the manual in the Help folder of their installation. (3) Why would anyone want to make Bryce like "99% of other programmes I've tried"? It has a avid following because it is unlike many other programs, and people like the way it works. This is also because they have taken the time to read information, listen to other people, and experiment to gain an understanding of how Bryce works. (4) As I said before, the Bryce Camera is not a real camera. It does not have a real lens, or a real focal length. You can't expect it to behave completely like a real camera. The Pan and Zoom controls themselves are specifically not for the camera, and expecting everything to behave as if they were a real camera shows a lack of understanding at best. (5) If you "...did not come here for the advice I got from you" then why did you come here? Merely to insult and shout at people who are trying to explain to you what really is going on, rather than an idealised version of what you think should be going on? There are people here who have been using Bryce since it was a Mac only tool, and they know more about it than any beginner does. They offer their advice freely, so please refrain from attacking them when it doesn't conform with your view of what Bryce should be doing. Regards Mahray
