Perth 2001

I have a niece

Hard to believe that she’s married and has a couple of kids. These are some of her wedding photos.   The photos were dramatised in Adobe Lightroom with a couple of presets I made up. I’ve been trialling Version 2 beta and so far I like some of the added features. It certainly makes it more...

image resizing (retargeting) technology

16 May 2008
By Chantilly Lace

Have you seen this stuff? This is incredible technology and Adobe has hired the inventor of it. I wonder how long we will have to wait to see it in Photoshop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qadw0BRKeMk&eurl=http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/08/28/adobe-hires-co-inventor-of-image-resizer-technology/ Today, I booked our trip to Europe.

He looks to be about 3 years old here, so it could possibly be Christmas in 1964. He is just so cute in this photo. It’s my favourite photo of him so far. Moving right...

Easy go

Well… the computer that I’ve had for less than a month died last night. I can’t believe it. It lasted a whole of 2 weeks. I’ll make a warranty call on Monday to Dell. Everything was backed up. I did have my zip files for my scrapping supplies on it, I transferred them last weekend...
