Hi Fanny icon_smile.gif.....Adobe Photoshop is the most advanced and clever photo editing software available....sadly it is also the most complicated....thats why people goto college to learn how to use it....Have you tried photoshop elements this is the home user version and much easier to get on with on....apparently....also try my favourite paint shop pro....which was always easier to use....not done any photo editing for a couple of years much to the relief of people i work with.....did some great ones for work droppin peoples faces onto all sorts lol lol lol....anyway if you still want to persevere with photoshop try the link below.....

You could have a look at the 'for dummies' range of books, my library has a wide selection so you shouldn't have to buy it. Easiest way to take something out of the background is with the magic wand tool, or loso it but that takes a steady hand. If you copy a section and past it onto a new layer you can fidle with it without it effecting the background. Only way to get the hang of it really is practice.



Any ideas of what to do with a wireless keyboard that my adorable icon_rolleyes.gif cat spilt a cup of coffee over?

Hi H-x ......Regarding the wireless keyboard....personally i would strip it down and see whats what....but if you dont fancy that....apparently popping water damaged items in a bag with lots of dry rice and putting in airing cupboard for a few days works wonders....good for mobiles and ipods etc so they say....never tried it myself icon_smile.gif....take batts out obviously....if that fails sell cat and buy another keyboard (kiddin).....icon_smile.gif.....post it to me lol.....

Gary xxx

Dummies guide books are great....very user friendly....

Java
Not another feline-caffiene incident...

but the application...
now then, my machine tells me it's all switched on, enabled, all that.

But: There are ecrtain places where it won't allow access to chatrooms... not this site... others.
Whats that all about then?

Also... My wireless seems to have been disabled... not by me... not on purpose anyway... & for the life of me I can't get it sorted. Machine tells me it's a semi-permanant thing... how do Un-permanant it?

Have a terible and persistant damp patch in the bathroom... the water is seeping twixt the floor tiles to the extent that I have lime-scale on the floor. Suggestions?

Where can I get my hands on some easy-money? Sharpish?

Can I wire an electric shower into my bathroom ceiling-rose without running the risk of death simply to scrub me nuts?
Do I reallly have to get an RCD Fuse or whatever it is fitted to my box?
Fuse boxes frighten me.

How do I learn how to make friends and influence people... electronically... with this here netmachineweb... rather than through the mains and boobie traps (my old method)? This again brings me back to the fuse-box-phobia issues I mentioned earlier.

Speaking of which... without resorting to therapy (again), onlinewebwise or otherwise, how do I stop my machine from trying to persuade me to bad things to people...?

all help greatly appreciated.

Not EVERY website has chatrooms hunny, maybe that's the reason dunno.gif

The best way to tell is to look for clues, like a little button with 'Press here for Chatroom'. Google for instance, doesn't icon_confused.gif





And, come to think of it, nor does the BT website - so it looks like it's not as 'good to talk' as they advertise it is icon_confused.gif

Your wireless what???? confused.gif

If it's something like a wireless rubber duck for instance........ all it does is float in a bath anyway, so what do you want to 'unpermanent'? The sink facility?? What more do you want a rubber duck to do??? confused.gif

Leave it, eventually it will turn into Stalagmites, and your home will be a tourist attraction with tourists and allsorts visiting - how popular will you look then to your neighbours!!!!! icon_cool.gif

Charge everyone to see your Stalagmites icon_cool.gif icon_cool.gif icon_cool.gif

Fuse boxes frighten me.


I would scrap the light idea - cos not sure what the tourists would do if they've come to see your stalagmites, only to find you stripped off with a wireless rubber duck that does nowt, and a set of bollocks they can see their reflection in icon_eek.gif

Electronically making friends and influencing people - not sure about that. I suppose the best way would be a lottery win! icon_cool.gif

Failing that, you better get your ABC fuse thingy back out and start visiting them chat websites (excluding google and BT of course icon_confused.gif )
