5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 7

[ohiominnie]

OHMinnie, I thought your pic was pretty cool. Is it hard to do? Are you doing that online or is it a package that you bought?

Ang

It wasn't hard to do....at first. I uploaded most of our vacation photos, then downloaded the free program. It installed without incident (something I was afraid of b/c I thought I'd have to ask Mike for help and he'd find out my surprise)

Then I just played around with their settings and made my first mosaic. The first one didn't come out too well b/c I didn't limit the number of times a picture could be repeated (so every other picture in the sky was the same picture!) So I played some more and recreated. And got the picture I posted.

Now, the problem is, I pulled it up in Photoshop Elements and zoomed in, and some of the pictures have been turned 90 degrees. So I have to go through all of my vacation photos and edit them to have the ratio of 4 across and 3 high. Which, at times, means cropping out most of the picture, but I'm cropping out backgrounds for the most part, not people. But, it kinda works, b/c I can take a picture of Mickey and the kids (too tall to crop them together) and make ONE picture of just Mickey's head, and ANOTHER picture of the kids up close.

But again, it gives me a chance to go through my pictures one by one and make sure I'd actually want it on the photomosaic. I want family pictures on there....not necessarily the picture of some lady's feet wearing HORRIBLE shoes in Epcot that I took for badfeet.com!

VERY quick to do it any ol' way. Time consuming to do it right.

Today is my darling DH's birthday so let me be the first to say:

Happy Birthday Mark!


​

Hope you have a great day Mark. Enjoy.....

Acutually, I don't want to just steal Mary's birthday wishes for Mark. Seems too easy and impersonal....

So here's my own:

Happy Birthday, Father of Bear

DITTO from your fellow Illinoisans!

Sounds like too much time that I don't have these days. Very cool picture by the way.

Wondering if I could a TOP here...

Woo Woo...a T.O.P. without any pirates.

 

[tinksdad]

HI Pam! Thanks for noticing! I have been busty with work and kids and trying to keep on exercing...

There's no reason to show off........

 

[tinksdad]

Did no one have any comments about this? Is it so horrible that no one wanted to have to lie and say "COOL!!!!" ????

Come on, give me SOME feedback and let me know what you think of this.

OK, you asked. It's neat, but it makes my eyes hurt!!

 

[tinksdad]

I cross stitched a saying once and it hangs proudly in my house:

Only dull women have immaculate homes!

That means we have "fireballs" living here!!!!

You can also do a back twice on the browers and it should take you back to your posting/reading spot too.
