Out of Mind, Out of Sight

It’s done.
The last layouts were completed and uploaded yesterday.  I finished the front and back cover and spine and uploaded those.  I double-checked each page to make sure I hadn’t left VividPics on.  I previewed more than once.  I placed the order and clicked "submit."
It’s done.
Now, all I can do is wait for Shutterfly to [...] Read more »

Once More With Feeling

Who’s my favorite Photoshop instructor?  Oh, come on… you know who I like better than even Scott Kelby!  It’s Donnie!
Yes, Season 2 of "You Suck at Photoshop" is underway at My Damn Channel and I’ve gotten notice of the latest episode.  They’ll continue with new eps every other week, so just keep tuning in [...] Read more »

Where Do We Go From Here?

Here’s what I finished last night…

This one was [...] Read more »

Here’s the latest…

Loving Life in the Lightroom!

Updated to add the link to the site hosting free Lightroom Presets.  See paragraph 2.
One of my readers, Barb, sent me an invitation to try Lightroom 2.0 Beta (after considerable effort on her part, I might add.)  And I got it loaded and registered yesterday and tried to play around with a photo a friend [...] Read more »

Weekend Giveaway

I said goodbye to my teen for a whole month yesterday.  We got up at 3:30 in the morning to drive her to Frankfurt to catch her 11:15 flight and spent most of the day in the car.  It was so sad to see her go, but I felt so proud of how confident she’s [...] Read more »

What’s it Take to be Cool?

It’s hard to create an album for a teenager!  I mean, when she was little, she loved anything I did just because it was for her and about her.  Now, she criticizes a page because I include a picture of her that she considers "dorky" or I write half a page about the sites she’s [...] Read more »
