That's all very well chaps but in Photoshopically restoring to me Christmas in Darmstadt you seem to have deprived me of my iPod! €20 in, €300 out! Does this make sense? I think not.

Speaking of image manipulation software, some professional computing-type friends of mine have been rather impressed by the following: http://www.gimp.org/It's perhaps of most interest to those who used to be on PC and had, ahem, somehow under circumstances beyond their control ended up using naughty versions of things such as the sus-mentionné Photoshop but whose PCs had pranged and they'd changed to Mac and while they still might well need to do the odd bit of image manipulation (such as deploying the Ollie Sudden Anonymity Device) they certainly wouldn't be doing that often enough to justify actually paying for a program. Oh, yes, me for example. |

Ron, you really are becoming a demon photoshopper, aren't you? Not guilty there, martle: that's a Tommo trick (though I wish I'd thought of it....) And yes, I use the Gimp as well: there are some things it does far more easily than Photoshop. I'm also learning Gmax, which is a 3d cad programme; that's a serious brain scrambler with a rocket trajectory learning curve...... |

I like the GIMP. Not least because it's free. It may be quirky in some aspects of its interface, but on the whole it does what I need and then some. On the subject of 3D modelling, you should try Blender. The interface when I first looked at it made me think "no, I'll stick to learning rocket science" but once I got hold of a couple of good tutorials it all became surprisingly easy, and now I am even working at quite complex shapes. Sorry Ollie. A couple of CDs jumped out at me when I opened the desk cabinet here, but nothing that resembled yours.  |

 Happy now? I suppose you're now going to complain that you have lost your "Academy of Ancient Music recording of the Mozart clarinet quintet, horn quintet and oboe quartet in a water-damaged copy on which some tracks no longer play". You just can't be happy can you? Tommo  |

I reckon that your CD has been spirited away to some strange Nether World by that spooky looking skull type face on the curtain on the right. Whaddya mean, you`ve never noticed it? Yikes!!!

Cheers Ol,
I'm not sure if I am using photoshop or not. I r-click on the photo on the the web and save to my drive. Then I double l-click on that. That opens it up in something called 'windows picture and fax viewer'. Then I select the edit function which closes 'windows picture and fax viewer' and goes to something called 'paint'.
Am I being a luddite?

Neither of those are Photoshop, tommo. Paint is the one I use for modifying images (haven't really figured GIMP out yet, though I have it on the computer). It comes with most versions of Windows, I think. But that will be lost on all those people who have crossed the Iron Curtain into Macland.... |

(Although I don't think I'm in any danger of becoming a flag-waving Mac proselyte. It's nice that it starts up so fast and all. But I do remember with fondness some PC things that Mac doesn't do. And I don't mean naughty software.) Mort, it's actually a spare mattress! And they're really vaguely flower-like patterns although I suppose now that you mention it it does look a bit like a sku - what? - what are you saying? - take the vacuum cleaner pipe? - and an axe? - and go out into the street to wreak untold havoc? - yes, master - right away, master - I'm just writing to - no, master, I suppose it can wait - yes, right awa |
