Penonome Carnaval Parades

This album shows some of the carnaval floats from the night-time parade through the center of Penonome. After a day of getting soaked by water cannons and beer drinking, the evening festivities are great entertainment. The amount of work that goes into the floats always amazes me.

As always, clicking on any of the thumbnails will take you to the full size photo album.

Photoscape Experimenting

The more I play with Photoscape, the more I like it. Simple to use and effective for many editing jobs.

This 1st pic shows a few of the features. The original in the background was far too dark and dull. 2 clicks added light and contrast. 1 more click added a frame. Then choose a layout and drag n’ drop the 2 photos into place.

 

The next 2 pics are from a simple group shot. Cropped and saved the portraits and then used filters to soften and lighten the faces.

Lightening and mole removal are so easy to do with Photoscape. This software may even make a decent photographer out of me, :)

For this crop I just used the smoothing filter to soften the skin, with no lighting changes.

Photoscape has many more options, I’m still finding more as I experiment. For free software it is tremendous and well worth a donation to the developers.

Finally, an attempt at lifting the colours of one of the waterfall pictures I was disappointed with before. Not a great improvement, but it’s hard to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

Better??  Worse?? Too Artificial?? Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.

You can get a FREE copy of Photoscape too, HERE. Just click on the screenshot to visit the download site.

Photoscape

I downloaded this last night and played around with it.Is easy to use. Have fun with it. 

Photoscape
A free deluxe photo and image editor
For Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Windows Vista
Download size: 13.1 MB - Dialup users can download this file in 75 minutes or less. Broadband users - less than 5 minutes.

Tis the season to take pictures - falalalalalala….

Today, is one of those rare times when something fun is actually useful and something useful is actually fun.

It’s amazing what you can still get free on today’s increasingly commercialized Internet. But, there’s still some darn good stuff out there, even though it takes us about four times longer than it did a few years ago to find stuff.

Let me be candid. This program isn’t going to replace Adobe Photoshop or even Corel’s PaintShopPro, but it’s really a great and feature-filled program that can do almost any normal image editing task you’ll ever need. You can crop, resize, add text, filter, and otherwise improve or enhance your images or digital photos easily and without having to read a 500-page manual. The interface is simple and clean - and best of all logical, so you don’t have read page after page of help files.

You can also create HTML pages with nicely formatted tables - and all you have to do is drag you images into the table cells.

If photo and image editing is something you like to do, or need to do, or want to learn to do, you can’t go wrong with this one - Photoscape. It’s free, it’s easy-to-use, and it has many of the features you’ll find on programs costing $50.00 or more.
