I feel safe.

wow... did you put a fedex label on your UPS package?

I didn't know there were other kinds of silo's at the time.

It made sense considering the massive arms race, they had to have somewhere to put them all...

but never know.... during the cold war, what might've looked innocent could well have been missle silo's.

Well I wanna try this out because the accent color on my car is Red, and the B/W thing would work well for me.

Thanks, I knew that... I meant in PS what is it called to do that.

I've done it several times in PS.

Google "Selective Color in photoshop". It's a really simple process, but I don't have PS on my work machine (yet!) to tell you exactly where to go.

I'm about beginner level with PS though.

I'm not seeing Selective Color anywhere?

my pops uses a point and shoot but he takes beautiful pictures with it when he goes out hiking.

the ONLY reason why i bought the DSLR was i wanted to make my own lens distortion by using wide lens and give the image of my car appear a tad more artistic than the FLAT boring pict my droid took. also since im very limited with time, i wanted to have the option to use filters.

but then, mr.alcheng HAD to tell me he liked my droid pict out of all the picts that i had up in my albums page some taken using my DSLR.

And of course because I bought the software over a year ago, and right now PS is in the midst of moving everything to another program of theirs for storage, it won't let me complete the registration process for my account.

i just use the cheepo photoshop elements. works great for my purpose...

FYI T3 is still a good camera. T3i was marginal improvements + swivel screen.

We have a regional overnight shipping carrier (Lonestar) that charges a surcharge if you use their packaging materials to send ground packages. We always ship ground cause it's like $6 for a huge set of architectural plans overnight, so we just use FedEx materials cause one of the other businesses in our offices gets them for free

I know how expensive that stuff gets, and I know my weaknesses. I'm not opening myself up to DSLR GAS lol
