In my never ending search to make your life easier I have been out looking under leaves and rocks and twigs and have found for your surprise and delight…stuff!
That’s right more stuff from the Ole Trawler.
First and maybe the easiest I have ever seen is this little Web-base picture editor, Pixlr. It isn’t as powerful as the high priced spread or as flexible as Photoscape but you can do some amazing things with it and best of all it doesn’t clog up your hard drive cause it’s web-based. Let someone else’s server carry the load. Oh yes, it’s free. Now that’s not bad, no space on you hard drive and free, that’s nifty, neat and cool.

Click on the link and then bookmark it and you’re done, a picture editor in a web-based package with nothing for you to do but click and enjoy.
Ever wonder what all of those buttons and settings on your digital camera are for and what should you do with them if you knew what they were? Wonder no more.

Read this short but inclusive article and you’ll have the inside track and be able to manipulate your Brownie with all of the aplomb of Annie Leibovitz! Don’t let the Program setting buffalo you, take charge and make that camera whistle Dixie, oops that politically incorrect song again, maybe the Sound of Music sound track would be a better choice…The hills are alive…
And when you finish the article and are walking around with your head in your hands and thinking maybe the ole hemlock death of Socrates wasn’t such a bad deal, go to…

Where you can start putting all of that knowledge to good use without spoiling a single frame of digital film!
For next class there will be a pop quiz on camera settings so don’t think you can just go home and watch re-runs of Gilligan all night and expect to be prepared when we meet again!
