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

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I understand Microsoft's intention here, at least I think I do. There have been so many printer driver related problems over the years due to OEM printer drivers not be compatible with the latest Windows update, that Microsoft wants to eliminate those by controlling the printer driver updates and keeping them compatible with the latest Windows update. That is okay as far it goes, but what it can do is put limitations on printers that wouldn't be there with OEM drivers since the OEM printer drivers are not universal drivers. It's a tradeoff and one can only hope it doesn't turn all Windows printers into $69 Brother printers.

      Vivaldi is a very unique browser. It's the only chromium based browser that has its own powerful and fully customizable UI. It even supports CSS like firefox based browsers do. If someone wants a powerhouse chromium based browser, Vivaldi is actually his only option. All other chromium based browsers just tweak the vanilla chromium UI. It also comes from an ethical company that has proved its ethics all these years. Something very rare in the chromium world... (all other companies which develop chromium based browsers own an ad company, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera etc).

      I really wish Zoom would have been the collaboration tool most organizations ended up with. Teams is garbage.

      While I agree that in some instances you should be wary of the government, shouldn't we also be wary of corporations that have the money, reach and power of many governments? Having good regulations is essential for population protection (from corps trying to make more money than the other guy). At least we can vote in and out governments, but these days your choice of consumer tech is now only a few very large players. And we also know "consumers" are idiots and need protecting, it's literally the government's job to deliver those services.
