Capt'n "sweet-cheeks" Carl was claiming that he was the "princess" of this thread..... ..... LOL.....

Well, got the pics today and the videos. The camera was a very nice one, too bad the "photographer" took pictures and film like a complete amateur. The films are useless. There are only six pics of the whole wedding and they are of the flower girl and the ring bearers. They are dark, blurred, and there is more ceiling than people. The other pics are just as bad and I am doctoring the only pic that is sort of ok in a disposable camera sort of way.

The kids will ask all their friends for pics they took and Paul will ask his friend for the pics he took and maybe then we will have a few wedding pics.

The girl can't return the money as she already spent it...

irritated here...

yeh thats a bummer, but from the sound of all the cameras that were there you should get a nice selection [ cross fingers ]

Sorry to hear about the crummy photographer.

I understand. I'm counting on FF still being here when I get a chance to work at it seriously again. I'm looking forward to that.
Where will you go when you get your motorcycle?

Is it ever. Plus this is where all my very dear friends are.

Oh no, she never really liked riding on back.....and doesn't trust herself to ride her own.....so she's fine with it.....

We were going to get a camera, but then we both realized that I can't stand for very long and that floor runner was slippery. So we had to have someone and real photographers needed at least a month notice.

There were a lot of people taking photos, so there should be something.

I need to learn how to make a really cool filter. I look inside the ones that are really impressing me and can't figure out how you figure out what to make first, why use this component, and pretty much everything else on it. My brain is fried I think.

Hello Carl's Corner People,

Well I'm back for more! I have made a few filters but I do not know what you guys might think of them. Any critique is welcome

I have been doctoring pics that are worth saving. The majority though are just very dark, very blurred, and only parts of the people's bodies. She got a real nice shot of the top of my husband's head, one of his back, one of him from the lips down to the waist. That is how many of the pics are.

What I am doing is cutting and pasting pieces together to make complete pics, correcting the color, and reducing the image size to get rid of other little defects...I have one pic completed and one almost complete.

We have decided to get the wedding party back in a few weeks and I will take the pics.

I forgot to say...thanks for the offer!

This is the one to which I refer

Hi LF, thanks for looking at my filters. Here is a stripped down version that maybe you can use.
Wow! 13 filters. You have been busy. I will look at them when I get some time - very busy lately.
As for posting a pic. Use the 'Attach a file' Browse button to find the picture you want to post.
Good luck with your filter making, you're doing great.

Many thanks Ronviers, that really helps a lot Much appreciated. As to the attaching a file to post. I tried that and it does not come up at all.

There is another way. If you have an image hosted on another server you can use the 'Image' button. For example, if I wanted to post your lovely avatar, which is hosted on the FF servers, I would right click on it an click 'Copy Image Location' then paste that link into the box when prompted.

You're welcome. I figured out the 'Attach a file' thing right away but it wasn't until recently I noticed that row of buttons beside the smilies.

Sounds great.

Thanks Ron. Here is one with the baby. It's grainy, but I'm tired of working on it right now.

Click on it.

Lost internet again

Ahimsa - the wedding look a lot of fun, costume, colour excellent - mmmm where the one of you and Paul

Lady Fayre - you really might find it helpful to go through the library and find filters you like, open them up and see how they are made as a learning aid, then there are snippets which you can use in your own filters as well....... it's nice to have a new person posting in the corner

Sound very interesting to see Ron
