Happy Halloween!

Picasa 3

Friends and family often ask me what software they should use to edit their pictures. While I'd love to tell them Photoshop I know that it's rather pricey! For a long time I would tell anyone that asked to use Paint Shop Pro. I LOVED PSP! I used it for a long time rather than Photoshop because it was what I knew, and it was great. This was back a few years ago, when it was Jasc Pain Shop Pro, before Corel bought them out. Now I hear rumors that it's just not as good as it was back in the day. Sad. It was a really good program! (Eric still refuses to use Photoshop and uses the old PSP.) =)

The newest software that I would recommend is Picasa (picasa.google.com). Free software by Google! For anyone with a point and shoot camera or someone who might be looking for a quick one click fix, Picasa is a program that you need to check out!

I think I may have been a little behind on my Picasa software updates, because last week Eric told me there was a Picasa 3 beta out and I think it has been out for some time now! =) Anyways, I decided to check it out. At first I thought that it was basically the same, but look closer, they have added so much more! If you're looking to remove red eye, it can. If you're looking to do some basic touch up, it can. If you're looking to make a collage, blog a picture, send a picture via email, share a web album, it can, it can, it can, it can!

If you haven't checked it out yet, head on over to picasa.google.com and download it now. You'll be happy that you did!

 

This is just a quick collage that I put together with some of the images that I have been using for color calibration.

Server relocation

The server that hosts kellyannbrown.com is being relocated. We should be back up and running tomorrow if all goes well!

Sorry for any inconvenience!

TESTING...

Google and ye shall find!

I use google daily. Last night I was looking for something. What you ask? I don't remember. That's how my googling goes. I tend to find other random things are are more interesting that the initial search!

Last night I found my way to You Tube and was laughing so hard Eric had to ask if I was okay! By the end, I was nearly out of breath and almost to tears I was laughing so hard. That's the way I am... Once I start, I can't stop... and I'm LOUD... Eric had to tell me that too! =)

Anyways, I thought I'd share the video that I found. I wanted to see if I could embed a video into this blogger blog so this is my test!
