How neat     what program do you have that you can do that....Im gonna email   Ryan this pic  if I can copy and paste it   ....that is really kewl.....My webmaster showed me how he did all those things..but he died last Feb, before he taught me how to do any of those things...he told me I didnt have the needed programs on my dell......he had firefox,  and a bunch of names , and when he did my web, he did a dreamweaver website, and he did a lot of different things with pic...he took the fence out behind Crissys baby pic   ,,,,, and he took a wicker chair out of a pic of two pups I put on site....he also liked to make images  and all kind of neat things.....it takes time to learn all this....Ive only had a computor  about a 1 year and 6 mos...

Thanks   that is fun.....cant wait to see what Ryan says.....hee hee

Yeah I gotta learn how to do that......I dont know whats with all the bald heads    these are all young guys....I forgot  I had another surprise visit from Dallas  last Sunday and my girl    Gretchen   came to see me    Her dad Carl brought her to see ganny   ,,,,,She has a nice head for a  female.... and Carl has a nice head   for Birdy to practice on....lol

Here is Carl, kind of again quick and messy but it's the best I can do right now as I'm really felling crappy with this stomach flu. I feel like someone has beat me up and left me at the back of the bar to lick my wounds.

Yellowrose, I use photoshop. I've been using been using it since it came out many years ago. I  used to work for a newspaper and before the computer I did this with photo manipulation on what we used to call a "Stripping" table. I use Photoshop all the time but prefer one of the older versions to do most of my work. I also use a Mac and prefer it for design work over the PC.

Birdy...

Flyin' Dutchman's Curse!! Me hasn't seen so many cue balls sine me played billiards with Capt. Patchy at t' Salty Saloon! AYE these sprogs be wearin' toupees just like me mate Sponge Bob did when he went t' prom AYE!! t' only thin' better than a good rug be a good can O' Spray on Hair! Arrrrrrrrrr"

Hi YelloRose,

Those are some nice looking dogs! I really like the male dog's face.

Birdy,

Wow, what a great job. I think you should get into the photo manipulation business. I think Carl needs a haircut now;-)

CaptMike,

What the hell did you say?

Gabby  : Who knows what CM says:   I cant read parrot talk...gettin to ole of a gal to interpret....

Yeah, I think I need to learn how to do that....Ive always known  you have to touch up some pics....like take out the garbage sacks behind him or  get rid of the Revelon Lipstick.....ynwim.......

Yahoo offers a widget photoshop program  gonna have to ask  Birdy if that would be of any help    I dont even know what a widget   is....Im comp illiterate except when it comes to dog pics. and that I know how to download and upload....but I would like to be able to take out certain flaws in those pics.....¥ 

Yellowrose,

There is a program made by Adobe called Photoshop Elements 6.0 is the newest version and it's available at Amazon.com for 80 bucks. It does a lot. I can do most of my work in this program instead of firing up PhotoShop itself. I highly recommend it. Call it a Christmas present to yourself. You'll kick  yourself for not getting it sooner. and it's available for PC users too.

As for Carl, I played with alot of hair for him and I thought the "whole" head look was better for him. I have to steal hair from some other soul and place it on the new recepient so it must fit the bodie's profile and Carl was kind of looking at an angle so more tweaking was needed to make it look realistic.

CaptMike, I don't think I made him look like he's wearing a toupee and if you didn't know that this guy was bald in the previous photo, your comment would be bunk.

Birdy...

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6

Thanks    my daughter , who gave me part of my computor set up, can give that to me for Christmas....they always want to know what to give me....is it registered , like dream weaver to the person that buys it and no one else can down load it?

my old website was a dreamweaver and before Michael died he gave me the disc and the dreamweaver book...couldnt use it  ,,when my friend tried to download it   it told him   registered to someone else,,,enter the code and id.....well,  Heaven is a long way away and I dont know the codes or ids....

Yellorose,

As for Photoshop Elements, It would be registered to you and comes as a "single" user number. Macromedia makes Dreamweaver and they do have strict registration rules. Dreamweaver isn't that user friendly. I have issues with the program, Once you do learn though it's a "dream" to use.

There are some nice books out there to help you too with Photoshop Elements. Either purchase them or see if you can get your library to get them for you.

Birdy... 

I think Michael has a whole shelf of photoshop books and his mom hasnt thrown them away   just anything to tell me how to get started..Im not a computor wiz and boy any key u touch send things in a mess   and then I dont know how to reverse it or am afraid to continue on my own .

I have adobe on my pc now  and it has things you can do and i can down load programs on it..now   but I dont know how to use any of it.   right now there are things to do with alll kinds of marginal options  with crayons,,,,etc    I can draw and just need someone to show me how...Dr. Peppers mom know about some of this   maybe on thanksgiving week end she wont be working and can show me how to use what I have in Adobe  right now.....I saw her   do the eye red thing and I know how  but getting the pic to the place to do it , is a puzzle to me....i guess you transfer it to adobe.....see im a dummie on a pc...
