Yeah, I have successfully beaten PhotoChop into submission and now have batch color correction of underwater phographs fully automated.

Bring on the TOAL, I am ready

I'm not really sure what that means ... but good for you Andy.

Well she's almost as tall as me (about 3/4 an inch shorter than me) and weighs MORE than I did after I had 3 kids cause she's gained some weight the last 6mo or so.... (but still weighs less than I am now, which is all fat NOT muscle) so I'd be one tired puppy pushing her big hiney around!

yanno BIP.... if her and dd get along...I could push her along... (i need the extra workout and dd would have someone to talk too.)

BTW she might have just yanked the toe (ie like a sprain) i did that two weeks ago and my toe hurt like heck to walk and put weight on it in gym classes but i managed and in about a week or so it got better...

Lisa: You said that irons aren't allowed in the rooms? So we can't even bring our own? Do they actually say that anywhere like "Don't bother to pack your iron" or anything? Do they allow curling irons? Isn't that the same fire hazard?

Yes no irons... Curling irons OK but don't leave plugged in our you'll get a nice letter from guest services...

OK so I walked the furr kids and on the way back, Isis the diva, goes to smell something in the grass. Just about freaks - literally jumps 3 ft in the air

Poor fur-kid...

My baby (yeah all 118 lbs of her) freaks out when i walk her around the block and try to walk past CUJO's yard (i really don't know this pitbulls name but it did almost come over the fence at us a few times then the owners got an invisible fence added as a precaution Guess i wasn't the only one he almost ate.). Abby still refuses to pass that yard on that side of the block. She makes me cross the street.

Cheryl: Yes, I'm serious about the ironing... DH wants to spend the money on DOTDs instead! We'll have to bring the wrinkle releaser stuff that we have too. Maybe we can do that and not worry about it!

Lisa: You said that irons aren't allowed in the rooms? So we can't even bring our own? Do they actually say that anywhere like "Don't bother to pack your iron" or anything? Do they allow curling irons? Isn't that the same fire hazard?

Believe me that has been hashed over a million times. Apparantly they are very serious. Don't worry- the Wrinkle Releaser works well and it should be a relatively small trek to the laundry room.
FYI- It was only $1.75 to have them press a full pleated linen shirt that takes me 15 mins to iron at home so.... if you have a few you might want to pass on one DOTD (or better yet, tell DH that he can have his DOTD but HE has to iron).

 

[goofyforlife]

On pirate zone we discussed a photoshare...

SO far we have 7 families signed up... (1 had to decline)

If anyone else is interested, it looks like the costs would be around 15-16 bucks for your own cd with as many photos as the photographers can take or you edit in either DL or DW....

I have room for a few more families. (each one added lowers the cost to all involved)

PM me before tomorrow night if interested....

WHY IS THE RUM ALWAYS GONE??


Bad news - DCL wasn't able to schedule any rum tastings...seems someone misplaced the rum? Where's that darn Captain Swann??

See a few posts on down though for the tasting schedule.

With the overwhelming popularity of our various drink tastings, DCL had to schedule 2 sessions for beer, martini and tequila. I've scheduled everyone as best I can making sure that no one has 2 tastings scheduled on the same day. I also took into account any Palo reservations, but that's only if you posted your Palo plans on the Who's Doing What thread.

At the tasting you will be asked for your room key. The charges (approx. $12-15 per person) will be charged to your room.

All of the tastings are full, so please don't ask to be switched around. If something doesn't work for your schedule, DCL will be offering public tastings. You are welcome to sign up for any of those.

Why is the rum always gone? You'll notice that there are not any rum tastings scheduled. DCL informed us that they were not able to offer a rum tasting. Not sure if there will be a public tasting onboard or not.

Thanks Monica, Laurie, and Tracy for getting this set up!

She could have also just badly bruised it. I had that happen to my middle toe once when a hunk of frozen chopped meat fell out of the freezer on it. I screamed bloody murder, got taken to the ER, had an x-ray, and was told it wasn't broken, just badly bruised. The doc told me to buddy tape it and it would heal on it's own. And I missed a week of gym in school . Unfortunately, docs never do much for injured toes.

Hehe well I'm not taking anything that requires ironing... DH usually does his own ironing anyway

Interesting... Thanks!

I'm not really sure what that means ... but good for you Andy.

When you take an underwater photograph, they usually come out all blue and washed out as the red light component gets absorbed once you get down more that 5 feet.

There's a 14 step process in Photoshop which fixes the colors back to what they should be.

Before:

After:

But doing this by hand for every phograph is time consuming. So PS can remember the sequence of commands used to fix the photos, then replay them for each pic you want done. You can then then have PS run this remembered sequence on a whole folder of pics, saving a whole bunch of time for DIS

And hairstraighteners (or flatirons, if you prefer) are OK too!

I disappear for a few minutes and the thread is closed I think this calls for ...........

ITA.....

After yesterday's fly across the handlebars, June has several scrapes and bruises to show for her spill. But she was a trooper and today we went for a long bike ride. Near the end of the ride, she tried to avoid a lady and her dog and almost ended up in a stream. Less than a minute later, she almost got hit by a Suburban

After giving the driver a piece of her mind, she was pretty shaken up and in tears riding home. She decided that she wasn't going to chance it and will stay off the bike until after the TOAL!!

 

[AndyR]

How??

I took the list of actions to be performed from here, made a Photoshop 'Action' out of it, and then used 'Batch' to automate.

I can't find that stuff here either!!!

The Wrinkle Releaser?

 

[pyramid2000]

Took me a minute to figure out why there were no quote buttons on the other thread...

 

[dahuffy]

The Wrinkle Releaser?

Yeah

 

[M<3'sMickey]

Yeah

I got it at Target. I don't know if you have a Target by you or not though. Maybe WalMart if you have that or maybe your food store?

Poor fur-kid...

My baby (yeah all 118 lbs of her) freaks out when i walk her around the block and try to walk past CUJO's yard (i really don't know this pitbulls name but it did almost come over the fence at us a few times then the owners got an invisible fence added as a precaution Guess i wasn't the only one he almost ate.). Abby still refuses to pass that yard on that side of the block. She makes me cross the street.

Somehow - I totally see that in my brain. I don't mess with dogs anymore. Isis has bitten 2 little dogs but they came charging at her and mine were on the leash - their's weren't. The second one I told the girl to pick her dog up or Isis would lounge at her - she didn't, mine did and the dog still came back for more. I think its a size issue.

Other than that - she (Isis) totally leaves other dogs alone. On walks she's got other things to smell.


As for dogs, my son Andrew was mauled by a German Shepard at age of 9. Got quite a few hundred stitches and quite a nice settlement out of it. Now if I can only get him to understand that settlements don't last forever.

Well, that was crystal clear!

Oh Poor June - please tell her to stay off the bike - we want her on here! Stay well June! and some wont hurt either.
