Haha yeah I thought that was pretty funny, that civic was at the nicest grocery store in Port au Prince...and I couldn't believe my eyes...ears first cuz I heard it, but I saw a silver bugeye with exhaust while I was there too...couldn't get a pic tho. Most of my shots from Haiti were taken from the back of a truck doin about 30mph since walking the streets wouldn't be such a good idea.

hugo, i just got my copy of Photoshop CS3. What book do you recommend? Also, how the heck do you do frames in that program?

a simple black frame?

increase the canvas size and select extra area as black. Make sure you change the type to pixels rather than inches, and check the "relative" box.

Heres one I just did with an increase of 60 pixels (so 30 pixel frame)

i thought there was a simple menu option. this language is new to me. so i don't know what you just said. i am a total PS idiot.

perhaps someone else can elaborate. I'm a PS n00b too so I can't describe things well, and I'm tired too

image size: scales your image up or down
canvas size: scales the canvas: bigger will expose white, smaller will crop the image. so if you make your canvas 100x100 pixels, you will have a super detailed close up, until you make your image size 100x100, then you has an avatar.

so increase the canvas size a small amount of pixels and make it black.

now, can we batch this process to all the images we have. also can we batch process images to add the MyNikonLens signature at the bottom and also save them as JPG medium res.?

yup. unless someone else types up directions, tomorrow Ill type out how to make it an action so you push a button and it does the whole thing

EDIT: saw your second post. You can make it all an action (I'll let someone else explain that) and then with Bridge you can batch it all
