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

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      Chrome is Google's commercial web browser product; it consists of their proprietary features (Googlified everything including profile sync) plus their chromium project barebones web browser. Google developers control the chromium project. The chromium project is the "core" for the web browser product from other vendors including Microsoft Edge (their own proprietary features), Opera (their own features), Brave (their own features), etc... The "downstream" teams at Microsoft, Opera, Brave, etc., can either integrate their original MV2-supporting code into future builds, or they can integrate chromium wholesale and simply add-on their own features/functionalities -- their 'current' build pipeline, so to speak. THIS is why changes at the chromium project affect so many products besides only Google's commercial Chrome browser.

      You're comparing settler colonies to colonized war torn nations. It's easy to become the richest by coming in and stealing other people's land, culture and resources.

      ABP has become "old news" when MV3 started rolling out. They've gone downhill and is now simply irrelevant..... in my experience.

      About two years ago, I switched to Brave and haven't looked back.

      FWIW StatCounter has been trash for over 25+ years! Back in the day (circa 2000 and GeoCities pre-Blogger era), it was useful to paste a number on your webpage indicating how many visitors you had. In the ensuing 25+ years, they've grown in reputation and changed their ways... but their overall consumer value has remained abysmal. Serious marketing agencies only cite StatCounter when there's literally no other sources available to support any marketing claims! They are the absolute lowest threshold serious companies use to push any sort of narrative about this-or-that happening. Besides their credibility being what it is, they are forever subject to quality issues. They're so bad that my DNS-level ad-filter prevents me from even viewing their main website! HA!
