Humble beginnings, and a wake-up call...

[ArmedFerret]

what's the wake-up call? look at that horrific color balance on my 8-year-old POS digital camera. :P

good grief, i need a new camera.


ETA: The xd9 came from member Deldorado. couldn't be happier with it. although while i was at the range today, i rented a p229 in .357sig. that round sells itself. wow. not to mention the 229's balance. butta.

Nice little collection.

A friend of mine just let me shoot his Sig the other day and it was a fantastic pistol... very comfortable and solid. I got a better pattern then with my XD.

new camera, or save money and get Photoshop. Below you can see I cleaned up the picture, to bring the natural colors and textures back out..

....or i could just get a new digital camera and get rid of this friggin paperweight.

besides, last time i checked photoshop costs $650. I could pick up a Powershot S2 for half that. how would I be saving money?

there are ways around that

Photoshop Elements is significantly less and can do everything you need. It's at least powerful enough for any non-professional application.

You can get GIMP for free, and it does just about everything Photoshop does. I learned about it thanks to Overkill.

[ArmedFerret]

cool thanks. i'll look into that.


but i'm still buying an S2. :P

Google has a free graphics editing program as well. check it out.


it's called Picasa, it says it's a photo organizer but it does picture editing and stuff too.
