1) .. Twenty-One Ways to Improve Your Photographs .. I enjoyed this .. if you enjoy it also, maybe you can find some way to say that without admitting to your friends that you think like me .. If nobody says they liked it, I'll just assume you couldn't find a way, because, what's not to like ... note:enlarging the text helps .. ctrl++ on Firefox)

so, now that you've read it, pay up .. for YOU, only $8.99 US




and, last but not least ... there's nothing stopping you from making your own ezine, it should be photo\art related .. (I'm NOT doing the links) ..

"Fingerprint"?? Great, now I gotta stop taken pictures of my willy!! How do you enlarge in PS anyway?? I accidentally did a motion blur and did that hurt!! 8~O

Remember, if you manipulate to much you'll go blind!!

OMG!!!... hahahaha *cough splutter... I just choked on my drink.. lol

You could always try those fun house mirrors Randy. That might help. ;-D

The 21 points looks promising. I started to read it, but the small text was making me bug-eyed. I guess most of my images fall under the unmanipulated category. I thought it meant that you did absolutely nothing to the shot as it came from the camera. Those software programs look interesting. Thanks for the links.

you can enlarge the text via the 'view' menu if your browser is IE (and CTRL and + in firefox)

helps greatly

~CTRL & +~

~CTRL & +~

~CTRL & +~

That did nutin' for me on this end mista!! No enlargement!! Oh!! You talkin' 'bout the internet thingy....nevermind!! Thought you meant sumpin' else!!

Hey, lend me a helpin' hand would ya?!?! That's just sick, forget I said that!!

LMAO... *hands Randy magnifying glass, pepper and tweezers.. that should help... lol

~sneezes~

Now I need a Kleenex® for sure!!

I can understand where control might be an issue here. ;)

The little trick to larger text doesn't work in IE on that page anyway, Keifer, but CTRL+ does work in Firefox. Thanks.

The little trick wouldn't work in IE except for version 7. The font size in the CSS stylesheet file is specified in px (11px to be exact). IE doesn't play well with absolute sizing so it wouldn't allow you to increase the font size... just another reason why Firefox is far superior.

With IE 7 you'll be able to get more or less the same function by using the zoom (also activated by CTRL +) although that will just zoom in on the page and not increase the font size... it does work though.

Thanks.
