Nuyt:
Actually I am better after I get into the Scottish elixer.
Things I have learned and will apply.
1. Do not have a bright light over your scanner, especially a flourescent one which seems to be why the last batch I posted were a bit fuzzy.
2. Clean the screen often. I have to open the thingie and place the photo and I see I have all kinds of smudges on the image glass. Won't happen again.
3. I have the routine down pretty good now and may go back and try to fix some of the really bad ones. I can do full size 8"x10" and switch to a postcard size and then to a fairly small pic and get them all to come out the same size more or less. Still too big but I may have to buy a better photo editing software to get it consistently right.
I cannot thank all of you enough for your faith and encouragement in this adventure. Remember, I am 64 1/2 and grew up in school with an abacus. Give me a big pat on the back (side?) as I was posting an average of 10 times each pic before I got the forum to take it. Literally hours in front of this bloody screen seeing the dreaded message "Too f*****g big, try again laddie". I think GWB had the message specially made up for me.
I may not make it back today as the 3 grandkids are just now arriving and this is the day I promised to give them a show.
Our 5000 gallon fish pond has spawned about 150 goldfish in addition to the 20 Koi and 4 huge catfish and it is overwhelmed with goldfish s**t and I have to clean 4 filters twice a day.
So, I am jumping in the pond with my trusty fish net and going to catch as many of the little beggars as I can and put them in our holding pond until I can get rid of them. I will try to have my daughter take a pic of me with a glass of scotch in one hand and the net in the other in the middle of the bloody pond.
Cheers
Bill. Oh might as well post a pic. One of my other interests. Sory, remembered I fixed the GMC shovel pic
I'll shoot the other in a sec.
