I thought you had used that option.There are some great tools in picasa I did not want to comment in case you used photoshop!!!

There's more fiddling in photoshop and the picassa one does the job nicely enough, albeit with less precision if you need it.

Let's not get snooty at people just because they don't know their Physics.

This isn't about science, it's about art. In art it's the three I mentioned before. You're barking up the wrong forum.

Thumbs

I go to the thumbs, but it's empty?

there is something very fundamentally wrong in that statement... ie utterly false, by the statement of fact.

Can you work it out?

OMG, I've fallen asleep, and I'm dreaming I'm back in Grade Three.

It's a nightmare.

Just to throw a spanner in the works, yellow could be seen as green in some circles and I am not talking about colour blindness

please don't ask ask as I came across it while googling on the subject!

Yellow only figures in the equation if you choose to use Yellow, Cyan & Magenta as the "Primary Colours".


blahblahblah

In "art" this works.... in a reflective colour environment eg painting, printed material.. this environs & the medium being talked of and used is emitting...therefore the Primary Colours are Red, Green & Blue... Yellow is comprised of equal amounts Red & Green....


blahblahblah

A long time ago(4 or 5 years) the contributors to these monthly threads decided that in the most part discussion & commentary upon the subjects chosen was of no worth.

What was encouraged, for example, was something like the following.

entry no.1 - the derelict mills

Straight from the camera, resized in Photoshop and sharpened a wee bit.

I really like all these photos so far - it's the kind of category that is likely to include lots of my kind of art.

I'm only going to vote for photos that are about what I consider primary colours, though - the ones you'd get in a crayola four-pack.

I'm thinking 'red, yellow and blue' for primary colours. This is a bit of shame as I've got loads of good green pictures

Still, wouldn't it be good if everyone entered one red picture one blue picture and one yellow picture? The thumbs page alone would look fantastic

e2a: actually the thumbs page already look fantastic.

Nice way to plug your own thread and be a bit of a dick at the same time, well done.

I'm a CONTRIBUTOR and I don't see the harm in it to be honest.
