I got a Question for whoever can answer :)

If you look at Louisville Slugger's picture there is a 1pixel black border around the image. How do you add that easily (ie not manually?). I am not good at programs like Photoshop, etc. I never sat down and learnt them because they do not interest me. Could someone explain, simply, how to do it? I have PSP7 and Photoshop 7. Cheers :)

its easy, in PS7 just zoom into your image, then select the 'Pencil Tool' (right click the 'Brush Tool' to get Pencil) and select black from the colour palet...

next select the smallest Pencil, which is 1px (i think its the default) from the drop down menu at the top...

then click once in the corner of the image, and HOLD now hold down shift also, and draw a perfect line down your image...

do the same starting from the other 4 corners, and you will ahve a 1pixel border going around your image, easy peasy :)

heres an example:

Alright, so this thread has caused me to break down and get a new digital camera - my current one (Agfa ePhoto 1680) is around 4+ years old now, and I want something newer. I'll most likely be getting this one - EOS Rebel. I wanted to make the move to a digital SLR - something that I will be able to use and explore and will grow with me for a while - and it has an excellent price for what it can do. I'll be sure to post when I get some good pictures out of it (that might be a while :) )

Props to everyone's pictures here - there are some really awesome ones (no offense to everyone else, but Sjokkel's are amazing...) Oh, and I hate you all for making me do this as well :)

I've also been looking for a digital SLR solution that is affordable. It's a shame that prices are almost half in the US of what they are here in Belgium :(

The rebel is one the first affordable digital SLR's with some really nice specs. It's a great tool to learn photography since you'll have all the functions of a normal SLR but the advantage of instant results. But keep the photo shooting in your mind and only try to use the camera as a tool to capture the things you already created in your head and I think the Rebel would be a great tool to do that. ..... Now can somebody lend me some money :blush: ? Or maybe i need to find myself a bank :ninja: :D

      Wow, this is some Iran, Cuba, China, Russia, North Korea-level citizen surveillance right there, the UK's government has gone totally mad. Power trip indeed, their politicians are totally out of control about this issue. They're starting to cross limits I wouldn't have imagined, to be honest. British people, fight this, your privacy and freedoms are in danger. Vote this government out of power.
    • Nintendo unveils The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and it's out this year

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nintendo unveils The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and it's out this year by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Confirming many rumors, Nintendo officially announced a remake of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the very first game in the series that offered a 3D experience to fans. Unlike previous remasters and re-releases, the originally 1998-released fantasy adventure game is being remade from the ground up for the Nintendo Switch 2 console this time. "The Nintendo 64 classic returns for a new generation in 2026, reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2," said the company about today's announcement. While Nintendo didn't go into much detail about the project, other than confirming its existence, we did get a small teaser trailer at the Direct presentation today. Catch the footage below: With a tapestry as the backdrop, the first half of the trailer tells the tale of Hyrule, the Kokiri forest dwellers, and their fairy companions. It goes onto introduce "one particular boy" without a fairy, which then cuts to a sleeping Link, showcasing what looks like the new art style being introduced in the remake. Unfortunately, no gameplay or a look at the world has been revealed yet. The game originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 1998, offering a time travel adventure where Link is once again going up against the evil king Ganondorf. The hugely well-received title has only been playable on modern Nintendo consoles using the Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't have a firm release date yet, but Nintendo says it will be released sometime in 2026. Considering just how many publishers are avoiding the Grand Theft Auto VI release nowadays, the company may copy that strategy and also opt to bring this out before November this year.
