"Please Mom?"

That is what mom hears when I find another free download of a photoshop program. So far, I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 (yes, it is really old...) and Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 (another older version), Adobe's Artweaver, and now Picasa. The other day I found out what neat things Google's Picasa can do. So I downloaded it. (if you do download it, be warned that it can be a headache and you might end up reinstalling it because you did it all wrong...) Probably my favorite feature is the handy "collage" button. You select the photos, and in one click you have a collage. It takes a few more clicks to get the settings right though. This collage was mady with 250 photos, or something close... The only problem is that with so many photos it makes them really really tiny! Well, they aren't tiny until you resize it... But there was no way I was putting a picture that was abut 5000 pixels wide on my blog!


Here is another one I made with only pictures of Elisabeth's face.

Speaking of faces, Picasa has the neatest feature where it can sort faces! Its really hard to explain, so if you'd like to read about it, go here: http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=93773 Its really good at it too! Only once did it think that Alison was me. :-) Even the computer thinks we're twins! LOL!

This last one is just a few random pictures that I've taken that I really like. I'll probably make quite a few more collages with my pictures! It's really fun!


I've learned a few things about Picasa the hard way, but now that have figured a few things out not to do, I'll never never NEVER do them again! LOL!

Those are REALLY neat collages! I especially like the pictures in the last one, they are very eye catching!

Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

Hi!!

Thank you for the comment on my puppy post! It's nice to hear from you!! We're not sure what we're going to name the puppy, but we have a long list and will name her after we've had it for a bit. :-)

I liked seeing all the pictures, even if they were pretty small.. hee hee Oh yes, I was going to read on your interesting day with the tennis court key but I haven't yet, I guess I'll go do that next!!

Love,
Amber

I'm glad you've started blogging again! In that last arrangement of pictures is that you or Alison standing by the beach? Just wanted to know! :>)
We just got a pony, we think she has a disease that can kill her, please pray for her.

Thursday, November 12, 2009 - Great Shots!!

Posted by Grammy Blick
Your shots remind me of a young lady in our church. She was in my Jr Hi Sunday School class -- I miss seeing her more often now that she's High School. Anyway, we live out in the country and she shares her shots on Facebook quite a bit. She's won prizes at school, too. Thank you for sharing your work -- it displays so much of the world God created for us. I found your Mom's blog through IFB-KJV Directory. My blog is connected there, too. May God bless continue to bless you and your family.

Hi Amy!
Yes, I do play some musical instruments. I've previously taken lessons in Violin. I also know some about playing acoustic Guitar, but I'd like to learn more about it. What do you play?

By the way, I noticed you listed all the programs you use for photo editing. I just wanted to mention that I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro too (it's version 9). Took a little while to get the hang of it, but I really enjoy using it now. :)

P.S. There is no L in the word puzzle...try again!
