Problems, need help (Rebel XTi)
Ok, so I've been noticing lately (as I get more into the editing of my photos) that most if not all have been coming out anywhere from slightly soft to slightly blurry. I understand that if it's really blurry it's just camera focus, but I've tried auto focus, manual focus and everything else. I know I can sharpen on editing programs but often times that doesn't help. Please help me out!

Can you please post a full-res sample in the gallery and then give us a link? I need to see a sample to really evaluate. I'll also need to know your camera settings. The gallery has no file size limit, so you can upload any size JPEG you want.

Not necessarily. It could also be extremely shallow depth of field, camera shake, lens quality, and/or subject motion.
But looking at your examples:
1) Plant: this one is definitely a focus issue as the water behind the plant is in focus.
2) Tree: this one looks sharp to me considering you're shooting this lens nearly wide open. Stop down at least two stops (especially in this static shot) and you should see an improvement.
