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 releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
