What almost two
year’s means to my little girl’s
feet.
Children are a blessing... make sure you remind
yourself of that every day and keep children
around (they make you a better person).

When scanning
images, it’s often possible to fit more
than one image on the scanner bed. Scanning
multiple images at once can save input time when
loading images into Photoshop. Fortunately, the
Crop And Straighten Photos command picks up and
keeps the efficiency going.
- Place
multiple photos on your scanner. For best
results, you need to keep 1/8 inch between the
images in your scan. If the Crop And Straighten
Photos command does not succeed (which is
rare), you should process the individual images
using the Crop tool.
- If
you’re working in a multilayered image,
select the layer that contains the images. If
you only want some of the images, draw a
selection border around one or more
images.
- Choose File
> Automate > Crop And Straighten
Photos.
Each image should be cropped, straightened, and
moved into its own document window.

I just got
this email from Apple about a special on Time
Machine.
“Save $30 on a 500GB Time
Capsule. Time Capsule works with Time Machine in
Leopard to back up your Mac computers wirelessly
and automatically. And as a MobileMe member, you
can access files on your Time Capsule drive over
the Internet, wherever you go.”
Use this Promo Code at checkout:
T2N3L7GJE8”
The code might be a one-time use.... so try it
(first come first served).
I already have one and these work great.
