No, I don't work for them but I do like this painting program. And with the latest program updates makes it a photo editor on par with many of the big guns.
Or to Simba, for that matter, we have arranged a 'time share' of the house for the cats.
Weather permitting, between 7am+/- to 7pm-ish, Simba and Lucy go out to the pet enclosure and Ziggy has free run of the house. 7pm-ish until the following morning, Ziggy is in the lounge with door closed, and Simba/Lucy have run of the house. It's working nicely.
We have also had another breakthrough with Simba. He has finally learned what a bed is for, that it isn't a litter tray, but something to sleep on.
I saw him slowly climb up on the bed, considering his past history on my bed, and the fact he has been snugging up to my legs at night, I decided to take a chance and left him to his own devices.
He was using my handbag as a pillow. :)
I have been experimenting with it, and all I can say "It's about time!" What I do find funny is that it's incorporated some features I have already been using for about a year in TwistedBrush.
I kind of like how the big guy is trailing behind the smaller company.
So far the only irksome things:
1: there is no Lens presets for Lumix cameras. I have all the info how to make a custom preset, but still, they really needed to add Panasonic cameras to their list.
2: Still need to use a custom action to remove purple fringing from back lit photographs.
I think between PS and TB, I am good to go for just about all photography and artwork.
When I was living in the US, Aikidomayland 's nickname was 'Roo'. That nickname stuck, and our net friends still call him that.
After corresponding with each other for the better part of 4 years, and then visiting, we both decided to fly me and mine over to RooLand. I arrived on the 4th of May, 2000.
I guess you could say "May the Fourth Be with Roo!"
Happy Anniversary to us!
A few years ago, as many know, after doing some house cleaning (I got tired of the constant promises to help and the growing mess so I did it all myself in one day. Left me gasping in pain by the end of the day) and less than a week later, the damaged disc from a motorcycle accident collapsed. You'd think the males living at the same house would remember this too, and not want to have a repeat performance, yes?
Aw hell no. So yesterday, I went to Tai Chi. For the first time in a while, my back started spasming and it was so tight, it hurt to take a deep breath. Why? Because on Sunday I got tired of waiting for help to clean, and couldn't stand the condition of the floors anymore. So, I vacuumed and mopped.
You'd think I'd learn, yes?
Ouch
Dr Sherry was thrilled with how well and fast the graft is healing. Blood supply is feeding all the way to the edges and the edges are holding nicely.
He did say that the graft will look worse before it gets better, but looks is the operative term. It will get redder in appearance due to more blood supply while it heals. Once the healing is all done, all that will remain is a pinpoint of white scar tissue.
Ziggy looked relieved when he took the cone off to examine her eye... and very peeved when it went back on.
Ziggy's eye has progressed to the "maddening itch of healing" stage. Poor muffin is shaking her head, trying to find some way to rub her face/eye, all to no avail.
All I can do for her is get a warm, lightly soaped paper towel, and clean out the "Cone of DOOOOOM", and maybe rub her cheek under the eye. It seems to soothe her a little bit. She hates the eyedrops, but they're for her own good.
Still, even with all this discomfort and misery, she finds time to 'have a happy'.
Here she is padding on her blankie.
