I think you can type just text in Photoshop and put it in a 6 by 4 and print
that. I do that.

Hi,

I was wondering if you are able to send photos to print that have been altered
by a photo program.

EX.  take a pic, and then type wording on it or do an effect.
thanks

Greetings,
downloading photos onto my PC they end up in a folder marked its respective
date. Then I distribute the pics to their various categories until the folder is
empty - almost. There is a ghostly file left with the Photoshop avatar marked
`ZbThumbnail'.
Placing the cursor over it, it says: 'type INFO file' and a certain amount of
KBs. It does not open.
I always delete the folder with this strange file in it. Do I do the right
thing? What does this file mean?
Thanks for answers - Klaus and Rusty (the dog)

Annette,

As I wrote before, it's better cropped, but...
Do *you* think it's better cropped?
Do you "see" why it's better cropped?

Subject: [photography_beginners] Cropped version of an old photo

 

Good Morning all,

 

I was going through some of my old photos and came across one that I thought would look better with a little crop. 

 

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2632/4100881896_670b7eb5f6.jpg this is the new cropped version

 

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3139/2891358100_d2ed4ed6f6.jpg this is the original version
 

Does it make and improvement?  I am trying to rescue some of my old boring photos and maybe make them more interesting by mabye cropping.

 

Thanks for looking

It sure does improve it!
I would have chose a slightly different crop, but that photo needed a crop
for sure!

I know I was thinking the same thing but if I do that then the person's leg that was standing behind it would show.

I like it!  The only thing I'd suggest is leaving more of the hat on the "girl" doll.  But that's just my preference.. .it looks good!  :o)

Excellent images. The location looks like it is very employable and the more time you spend watching the better the shots will become.

Most web space providers charge a $500 clean up fee when the site is
shut down due to a DMCA demand letter.

Find the actual server owner.  My experience was with Verio. The sent
a letter for the removal to the site owner. The site owner remove the
link to the photo, but still have in directory and you could directly
access it.

The second demand letter resulted in the complete take-down of the
web site and a fee assessment of $500 us dollars.

YMMV.

But, The 1st contact should be with the provider with a DMCA demand.
Allow them to manage their client. it works well usually.
