Laura, I've been going back and forth and this is definitely better. It really pops now. The colours are so much more vibrant. We will be able to bang our heads together now because I'm not all up on photoshop. Excellent work Laura. I always liked this image.

Laura E. Swan July 30, 2009

Wow! Wasn't I just here, like, an hour ago? You all showed up at once. Thank you so much!!!!!

Brother Rolan, Dale, Heidi, Ellen, Maxy x2, Julianne, Mailbox John, Little Sis Maria, Ladybird Barbara!, Troy and Eugenio, I really appreciate all you guys said!!! This new program has way too many options! I'm heading to U-TUBE to see if I can find help on learning there.

Yes Brother Max. It is a COW and don't let ANYONE tell you ANY DIFFERENT. Not even the MOOSE!

I agree, Julianne, DDR at home on the computer is SO REVOLUTIONARY. I used to develop my own B&W film. I will never miss the smell of the chems but I will ALWAYS missed the process and excitement of it all.

We lose to gain, I guess.

Thanks again all. I needed this boost.
