| Thank you for the welcome Danny, I'm really jumping the past week here I just got a Wacom tablet and picked up a nice photo editing book which has Doug Nelson's name on it. I'm trying the power editing in Photoshop with the tablet right now with pretty good results and I will have a photo or 2 this week for everyone to take a shot at, I just need to knock the size down without degrading the image quality first. Something different concert photos with an intresting twist from the early 80's. And Hello Deb I'm not with the official welcome wagon having just found my way here as well , however welcome aboard! This place appears very educational for photo buffs I learn something everytime I stop by to mosey around. TTFN           |

| As you may have noticed, looking at the info on the left side, I'm from Belgium... That small country between France, the Netherlands, Germany, and an even smaller country : Luxembourg... across the pond is the UK, so you know more or less where it is... no, it was not a dirt on your map, it's a country  Was born in '75 in Malmedy Went at school in the "regular" section (ie not artistic ) but I always drawed in the margins (to the despair of my teachers) of my books... then I had to choose a orientation, tried Translation, I'm good to learn other languages but I can't stand vocabulary lists... and the first year at university involved too much fun... so I decided to take infographics... went in a "beaux-arts" school, but they were still using Amigas (in 1995) I discovered Photoshop in the only Mac of the Class... I didn't finished the year at school, (I felt it was not "the" school) The year after, I found the good one, they were giving classical courses, as well as teaching infographics... bought my first PC, and became immediately addicted to Photoshop! (the year after, I was more an assistant to the PS teacher than a regular student ) I finished those studies in a row (what a change!), then got my actual job, who's title is "Illustrator" and I can use my loved app at work. I am still trying to get a side job in which I can be more creative (my main one is for a big institution, so not really over creative) but it will involve me being organized.... My main home on the net is Greg Vander Houwen's PhotoshopTechniques.com I post also at Mark's PhotoshopGurus, and at the Adobe Photoshop User to User forum... I cannot describe myself as a Photographer, but I like to shoot, sometimes... I live in a house with my GF, my dog (german shepherd), and my cat (who loves to walk on the keyboard) not too far of the French border. Ah, also, my biggest fault: procrastinator! also, I'm infoholic: I like to read, I need to read, everything about any subject... Sports: running (10-15 Km), and helping a friend to build his house, trust me, it's a whole sport by itself! Tastes: Electronic music mainly, expecially noise/ambient/underground/industrial Movies: Dark scifi : Blade Runner, Brazil, Delicatessen, most Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, David Lynch... movies Books: Dune, Hyperion (Had the mandatory Stephen King period, but still read his books from time to time) + William Gibson Other details : No driver license, but dad sells cars (no, you don't need to replace the "but" by "because", unless it is unconscious , OTOH, you can relate this to the Procrastinator info... and to the fact that they made too many "drink or drive" ads... I choosed: Belgium doen't produce petrol, but beer!) Old hobbies : Remote Controlled Cars, then Amiga and ...Deluxe Paint!... Likes : everything that's creative... I can watch fashion shows (NOT only victoria's secrets!) my preferred haute couture designers are Thierry Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier... I love to stare at the buildings (we live close to marvellous things, but don't notice them most of the time) Is that enough?  |

| Hey, Tiana: Glad to meet you and Welcome Aboard. RE: im 23 but dont let that fool you In a word, Wow. Given the breadth and depth of experience you've gained so far, academic achievements, future educational goals and having started your own business, you're an inspiration to many. Congrats on "getting it" so soon in life. Many folks 2-3 times your age haven't yet. Continued success and hope to see you around the forums. ~DannyR~ BTW: If you didn't notice it as part of the registration process, click the "Map link" below my sig. for a nifty site navigation tool. |

| Shalom Just found this niche to introduce myself.... Just recently turned 68---ugh--- Started to use Elements2 for about a year. I have up-graded it with Hidden Tools +CD. From the title you can see that I am living in Israel, since 1957. Married with 3 daughters, and 3 grandchildren. Interested in both genealogy and digital photography so your site sort of combines both interests... Haven't really done much restoration, actually none, but recently recieved about 10 really old pictures. One that I am working on I posted http://community.webshots.com/photo/111180103/111180176JiNqSg for advise on http://www.myjanee.com . Jeaniesa pointed me in the right direction... THANKS. After reading so many tip/tuts/ etc and working with various tools I am trying to make up a list/steps to restore it. I will probably start all over again using a higher resolution scan. Enough rambling... nice to meet a great bunch and hope to get lots of advise... Carol PS Would someone be so kind to explain all the various "titles"...junior/senior/registered etc |

| Carole, We have a few things in common. I just turned 66, interested in genealogy, photography, restoration, and have several grandkids. Your link doesn't work for the pic. I was recently told about a program, Tiny URL, that helps when you post links with long strings. Check it out here. The designations "Junior", Senior", etc. have to do with the number of posts the member has made. It has nothing to do with school or age.  Once again, welcome aboard. Ed |

| Actually, Ed, that post has just made me realise that you're showing as a "Registered Member" now, when presumably you should be "Really Really Really Senior Member" or something. Is this fallout from the upgrade? |
