For some reason the pictures I am printing are very dark. The images on the computer are bright and clear. We have more than enough ink, the settings are as we normally have them and nothing else is changed...It normally prints photos well. (Printing on photo paper, but we always get great results from it. No change in the paper or the ink) Anyone know why they are dark ?
Open Question: What should I do with my photos?
I have thousands of old photos. Yeah, the paper kind. I have a scanner. But, scanning thousands of pictures into my computer and putting them onto discs is out of the question. Is there any other way I can get them on CD's? And, would the cost be enormous? Also, organizing them would be hard to do. They are all mixed up. So, if I somehow got them on discs, how would it be organized?
Thank you for your answers. But, I'm not scanning them. I have too many to scan. I am not joking when I say I have thousands of photos. I'm asking is there any other way to get them put onto discs?

2. Unravel the gobbledegook
Mr. Hughes the computer salesman at Computer Universe PLC is explaining about printers to a family who has just bought a PC for home use. They have never owned a computer before and know almost nothing about them.
They are deciding whether to buy a laser printer or an ink-jet but Mr Hughes is not helping with his explanation. Here is what Mr Hughes has said. Can you unravel the gooblegook and put his explanation into words that they will be able to understand?
It all depends on whether your paper output is in monochrome or colour. The ink-jet will produce 2400 dpi and around 10 ppm in colour and 12 ppm in monochrome. It will also produce photo-quality printouts.
The laser printer produces 1200 dpi monochrome and around 14 ppm. If you want a colour laser it is very expensive at around $3000. Cost of ownership is less for a laser printer but you have to outlay the money at the start.
(a) Write down your alternative explanation.
(b) After you have written your simpler explanation produce a list of questions that the salesman should ask to make sure that they buy the most suitable printer.

PROLOGUE
I am Zachary James. Also known as Z the famous detective. This is the story of one of my cases. The main suspect: myself.
I was 22 and my alias was already being said in whispers around the world. I had already assisted the FBI. And the British agencies like MI6 had caught wind of me. I had recently helped catch a serial killer called The Mayberry Murderer who killed in small towns across America. The FBI had requested I appear in his trial but not wanting to reveal my true identity I had declined and instead given a written statement. The murderer pleaded insanity, but thanks to my written testimony this was proved to be a lie, his actions were premeditated and evil. Hence he was sentenced to lethal injection for the Hyannis crimes he committed. Now a week after the trial I was walking to a café to meet someone in the FBI who would give me my pay for the case. The man always got a cut for his secrecy. And as an added bonus many of the other agents thought he was Z which got him respect.I picked a different location every time for our meetings and always made sure they were discreet. The FBI agent didn’t even know my name. He only knew me by my face.
In the distance I could see the sleek sports car I had probably helped pay for, and the FBI agent sitting at the café table. The reason the café was a great meeting place was because not only was it going out of business soon it was closed that day. I sat down at the table. Bill Modet stared at me seriously. His last name was pronounced Mode-ay a French name. His family came from France but that had been generations ago. He had no wife. His only goals were to get promotions and a bigger paycheck. Which I helped him do, as my fame rose so did his, he already had gotten a promotion because of me. I almost felt under dressed he was in a suit and all I had on were jeans and a white T-shirt. The money was in a small suitcase next to his chair. He got up, to I thought hand it to me. But instead he cuffed my hands. Thinking he had double crossed me I did roundhouse kick to his gut. As he went down I saw four other armed men in suits come out of nowhere. Then suddenly I felt a sting in my back, and I crumbled to the ground. My last thoughts before I passed were that my shirt was going to be SO dirty, and they were paying the dry cleaner.
I woke up. A bright fluorescent light stung my eyes. I knew who I would see sitting across from me and almost wanted to pass out again. I looked up anyway. In the chair across the table was a man I knew very well. Although, I had never met him in person. The head of the FBI, Henry Wilkins. We sat silently for several moments, obviously he was waiting for me to speak. Naturally I didn’t. Why should I? I didn’t come here willingly. Finally he took the hint and spoke.“Do you know why we brought you here Z?” he asked with no emotion.
“No sir I don’t.” I answered.
“Well, we have a video of you committing a murder.”
“Am I under arrest?”
“No.”
“Well I think I’ll be leaving then.”
“We don’t have you under our custody Z but we can’t let you leave. And if your worried your covers been blown don’t worry. The only people who know you’re here are the agents who brought you in and myself.”
“Do you know my real name?”
“No. We figured having you in custody was sufficient.”
“Who exactly am I supposed to have murdered?”
“A department store owner.”
“And how did you get this tape?”
“It was sent to a television studio. They watched the tape and saw the murder.”
“Wouldn’t they have sent it the police?”
“Not under the circumstances. Because the murderer in the tape died four years before the crime.”
“I thought you said it showed me as the murderer.”
“Hold on we’ll get to that.”
“May I watch this tape?”
“Of course, I was just about to suggest we watch it.”
As if on cue a tv appeared. It had been hidden inside the wall on the far side of the room. Suddenly, on the screen you could see what looked like a middle-aged man sitting at a desk. Then another man came into view. He had a pistol pointed at the man sitting. He fired one shot to the head, bam! The man at the desk fell to the floor like a rag doll. The man holding the gun, for the first time looked up toward the camera. Then the image paused and zoomed in on his face. He was in his sixties, and his hair was buzz cut.The image stayed that way for several moments then went blank.
“That was what the tape looked like when we got it. At first we thought it was a fake, but when we went to that department store, guess what we found?” he asked.
“A body?”
“Of course .So now that we knew the tape was real we also knew it had been doctored. So our tech guys got to work and came up with this.”
The screen came on again. This time it showed exactly the same scene except at the end I saw myself looking into the camera.
“And yes we know that it wasn’t doctored any further.”
“Yes but how did you identify me without looking up my name?”
“Well Modet was watching the tape after we had fixed it and saw you. He automatically told us who it was. Then we simply waited until you came to get your money.”
“Why didn’t you just arrest me then? Instead of dragging me here.”
“Because of your past help to us we decided to give you a chance to give us an alibi.”
“Well I have no alibi. But I can prove my innocence. Please have someone rewind the tape.”
Then the tv automatically started to rewind.
“Stop.” it paused just as the man held out the gun to shoot. “ Alright zoom in on the arm holding the gun out.”
When it had finished zooming Mr. Wilkins said,
“What is the point of this?”
“Well sir,”I said getting up. “Look at his arm then look at mine.”
Mr. Wilkins sat staring for a moment then said,
“The person on the screen has indentations where a watch used to be. And your arm doesn’t.”
“Correct, I hate wearing watches they get in the way.”
“Im afraid that isn’t enough to prove your innocence.”
“Ah, rewind the tape to when the person first enters the screen,” I asked, “Okay if you’ll have someone check the height of this person you’ll see they are actually several inches shorter than me, although that is just a guess.”
At that moment the screen went blank again and Mr. Wilkins left the room. Several minutes past and then he returned.
“You were right. The man on the screen is only 5"5 and your at least 5"8.”
“Im 5'10 actually. So is that enough to clear my name?”
“I guess so.”
“Does that mean I can Leave?”
“No actually. We just happen to need your help.”
“I just helped with a case not long ago. I work from my home. So may I please leave?”
“No this case is to important. We’ve got you your own office here with everything you’ll need.”
“Fine I guess I don’t have a choice. I will help you.”
“Okay then we’ll have you on a plane soon.”
“I thought you said you had an office for me here.”
“I never said “here”. But we do have you an office in England.”
Since I didn’t have a choice I got up and left with Mr. Wilkins. Apparently I was somewhere deep in the FBI headquarters. We walked up many flights of stairs meeting many people along the way. All of them nodded or smiled at there superior and either stared at me or didn’t notice I was there. Finally we made it to the ground floor. From there we walked to a small black car, a chauffeur opened the backseat door, and we both got in. The ride there was pretty uneventful. Halfway I asked about my personal belongings. He said that I would have everything I needed there. When we arrived at the airport I saw a small luxury jet waiting for us. We both got out and the as I started to board the jet I noticed Mr. Wilkins wasn’t climbing the steps with me.
“Aren’t you coming to?” I asked.
“No” he said “I wont be accompanying you. But if you have any questions just ask the agents I have there already.”
“Alright.” I said going through the doorway. When I got inside the pilot quickly shut the door behind me. There was no one else on the jet. It was going to be a long journey to England.
The seats in the jet were quite comfy. The mini~fridge was stocked with lots of drinks and snacks. By the time we landed I had already eaten anything chocolate and drank a few cans of Dr.Pepper. As I got up I felt stiff my left leg had fallen asleep. I walked out the doorway and was greeted with the misty gray of London England. A shiny Bug pulled up in front of me, I got into the backseat and buckled up. The driver had graying hair and a chauffeurs uniform. We drove about twenty minutes then we stopped outside a large hotel. The chauffeur got out and opened my door. I was about to walk away when he put a hand on my shoulder and said, “They told me to tell you that your in room 55. Also that you have clothes waiting for you and you can order anything you want from room service.”
“Alright thank you.”
“Oh yes and one other thing the said that you needed to be dressed and in the lobby by six tonight someone going to come and pick you up.”
“What’s the occasion?”
“They didn’t say.” And with that final note he got back into the car and drove away. I turned around to look at the building. This was the first time he had to become close to a case. He didn’t like it but he could never turn down a mystery.
Chapter One
I walked into the lobby and for the first time noticed the large stain from when I was knocked out. That felt like ages ago. Hopefully no one would notice. I approached the front desk where a peppy looking woman smiled at me and said, “Hello sir,”she giggled as she said sir, “Your in room 55, correct.”
“Yes, how did you know?” I questioned.
“Well when the person reserved the room they told us to give the key to the guy with the large stain on his shirt.” at this point she couldn’t hold back the laughter.
“Jerks....”I muttered.
“What was that?”
“Oh I was just thinking out loud. May I have my room key?”
“Of course,” she said handing it to me. “But could you wait the other clerk will get a kick out of you.”
Of course I left before she could come back.
The elevator ride up was un-eventful, it was playing that awful elevator music. When I finally arrived on my floor it was eerily quiet. After the over cheerful tune in the elevator it seemed creepy in the silence. My room was the first door on the left. I walked in and explored my new quarters. It had a bed with a large blue quilt on it, in fact the whole room was blue. You wouldn’t think it would look nice but it was actually rather homey. I walked up to the wardrobe and changed into another shirt and jeans. It was almost five and while most people would tour the city I just stayed in my hotel. He had already been to all the sights. I’ll I wanted to do was rest and wait until six. So I flopped down onto the bed and decided to assess the situation. It had only been this morning when he had been walking to meet Modet. Then he had been jumped before he got paid. Which reminds me they still haven’t given me the money. Then he had been sent to FBI headquarters, Im still not sure how long I was knocked out for. Then I was accused of being a murderer. The claim was completely false although it seems like they let me go a little to quickly. I was quickly boarded onto a jet and flown here. Now that I think about it that tape seems a little to convenient.....that they would just “happen” to need my help. As I was thinking of all this I slowly drifted off to sleep.*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* wonder whose at the door, I thought, Oh yeah! Someone was picking me up at six! I didn’t have time to change if they were already here. So I walked up to the door to see.....the clerk from the front desk and another clerk. “Oh darn Nigel! He’s already changed. Oh well, sorry to have disturbed you.” she said as they walked away. “Phew”I breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the clock I saw that it read Ten minutes till six. I still had time! But I knew I’d have to hurry. Seven minutes later his hair was combed he had on a black suit and he was ready. I went down into the lobby to wait. Sitting in a chair I saw a beautiful woman in a dress walk in. She approached the desk. Smiling at me as she went by then she said, “Im here to pick someone up,” I stood up hopefully. At that moment a guy in a biker jacket walked up and said “Oh Im here.”
“Ok come on” And they both walked towards the door. As they were about to walk in an American man of only maybe twenty ran through the door up to the desk and said through gasping breaths “Im here to pick.....someone.....up!” *Drat* I thought.
“He should have had a large stain on his shirt when he got in.” At that the woman at the desk grinned broadly and pointed to me. The man ran up to me and said, “Sorry Im late! Nice suit, The cars outside come on.”
“Alright.....”
“Oh yeah my names Jesse.”Then we both walked out to the car. I got in on the passengers side while he got into the drivers seat.
“So Jesse where are we going?”I asked.
“Oh we’re going back to headquarters.” he said nervously.
“Why are you acting so strange.”
“Well its just that you are one of the best detectives alive!”
“Oh,....what do you mean by alive?”
“Oh well there was Gable Dayne. He WAS the best detective ever!”
“Oh” I said thinking about what to say. Instead we drove the rest of the way in silence. It was a short drive. We went past Big Ben. Then we came to a stop only four blocks away. It looked like a fairly new building. It had shiny windows with one-way glass, they could see out but you couldn’t see in.
We approached the front door. There was a code to open the door. Jesse said they each had one, everyone on the task force that is. After he had typed in the code, I thought we would enter but then he flipped open another hidden box and put his eye to it. “Just in case” he said. Finally, we entered inside was a large office. To the left of the door was a fridge beside that a stove. It was a kitchen. Across the room I could see through a doorway a bathroom. There were a many closed doors I assumed were bedrooms it was like a house.
“Where is everybody?” I asked.
“Oh, they’re downstairs in the media room. That’s where we’ll be most of the investigation. This part of the headquarters is only used to relax.” I could already tell that I wouldn’t be spending much time up here. He barely ever rested during a case. We went down some stairs to the media room.
“This is what I was expecting.” I said. The media room had a whole wall of monitors. Each one showing a different news station. A few were even connected to cameras on the streets. Another portion of the room was devoted to computers. The room had low lighting and was very calm feeling. There were guys scattered about the room paying attention to one thing or another.
“Ahem...”Jesse said trying to get there attention. Immediately they all looked up, a little startled. They looked kind of angry at Jesse at first for interrupting them. Then they saw me and ran up to greet us. Their were five of them. They all stood in a row, and said there names one at a time.
“Hello Im Fenway Im head of this case. Nice to meet you.” Fenway was average height with a sturdy build. He was in his late fifties with graying hair.
“Hi Im James Im glad to make your acquaintance.” James was tall with blond hair. He was in his middle thirties.
“Hey Im Carter Im glad we can work together. ” Carter was in his early fifties, with black and gray hair.
“Hello I am Bergen I hope we can solve this case.” Bergen had a German accent. He was skinny with brown hair. He was in his early thirties.
“Nice to meet you Im Darius” Darius was tall and muscular. He was in his middle thirties.
“Its nice to meet you all.” I said.
“Yeah its funny how they got you here with that fake videotape!” Jesse said.
“You idiot that was a secret!” Fenway said hitting him on the head.
“Sorry”
“Can we please get to the case already!”I said.
“Sure,” Fenway said “come over to the computers and we’ll show you the files. We walked over to them and James pulled up some photos. Telling me the names of each person in them. Seventeen, in all, they had disappeared at different times all in the same month. None of them had any noticeable connections. Everyone was baffled.
“I bet Dane could solve this no problem!” Jesse said.
“Oh here we go again. He’s always rambling about him.” said Darius.
“Well its true! Did you know that he has solved the most difficult cases the world has known! And that he did it all without ever showing his true identity. To bad that when Lotor died we never heard from him again. Of course now we know it was actually Lotor all along who was Dane.”
Jesse went on and on about his accomplishments and how he could have easily solve this case. I finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“ I am Gable Dane!” I admitted.
Everyone stared at me in shock.
“But you can’t be! Lotory was Dane! That’s why we never heard from him again! He’s a legend!”
“Don’t you understand! Lotory was my old contact with the FBI when he died I decided it was time to retire.”
“But why retire?”
“Well I had already been doing detective work for five years-“
“Hold it,” James interrupted “If you had been doing detective work for five years when Lotory died you would have only been 14 when you took on the alias Gable Dane, that’s impossible.”
“No its not. I was an orphan with ‘special’ abilities. You see, when I was a child I lived in an orphanage. One day I decided to runaway. There was no point in me staying there. The other children would come and go. Always being adopted or dropped off so making friends was hard.
When I ran away I didn’t pack up a handkerchief full of my possessions and start walking even at that age I knew that was foolish. Instead I made sure to get enough money for a laptop a cell phone and food. I got in contact with Lotory anonymously providing him with tips. I stayed in a warehouse that was empty. I got information by hacking into the FBI’s database. Then I would tell my suspicions to Lotory. After I had helped him with many cases I set up a meeting with him. Of course he was surprised by my age. But Lotory was getting on in years and decided that it was a ‘I scratch your back you scratch mine’ kind of thing. I helped solve cases and get him respect and in turn he gave me the money from the cases. I have the same routine with Modet now. After many years as partners Lotory died. It was then that I decided to take a break from solving crimes. I had plenty of money plus since I was eighteen I could get a house. After four years of doing virtually nothing I decided to come back with a new alias.”
“But why get a new alias at all?”asked Bergen.
“Because I knew if I approached an FBI agent with my old alias they either wouldn’t believe me or if they did they would try to get me into custody.”
“Makes sense. The FBI suspected you were that’s why they tricked you with the videotape.” Fenway said.
“I was wondering why the tape originally showed Lotory as the murderer. None of this can leave this cant leave this room,” I said “No one can know Im Gable Dane. Do you all promise?”
They all agreed.
“Good if you hadn’t you may have been assassinated.”
At that statement they all looked a little nervous. Jesse especially. Of course, they should have been because I wasn’t joking.
The next few days were uneventful. We didn’t have leads, witnesses, or evidence. So all we could do was wait. Everyone else slept on the first floor. They found out quickly that I immerse myself into a case. Instead of sleeping upstairs they brought me down an army cot which I barely slept on anyway. I watched the monitors and computer screens almost constantly, finally I decided to look over each of the records. I noticed a subtle pattern. Each person was one, related to, or friends with someone in the media, journalist, photographers etc. I wished there was an easy way to know what they were about to write. Everyone who probably knew was missing, in my opinion dead. There was one other way and that was to go look through there personal files, there desk, even a sticky note would help. I told the other task force members, they reviewed the files and agreed, surprised I noticed something so small. We decided that after we got the legal stuff over with we would look through the actual journalist house and office first, then move onto they’re friends houses.
We searched order of location. The first seven had nothing but in the eighth house we actually found a clue,
a printer jam had caused a piece of paper to come out with chunks missing it said,
GoPepsi
The reason he couldnt distinguish Z from the murderer was because they looked exactly the same.The real murderer had surgeory or make up on to look like Z.
Also I planned on adressing the whole "How did Zachary get in contact with Lotory" thing later on in the story or in another book altogether.
The reason he told these people was so they wouldnt doubt his deductive skills.Also he told them what would happen if they blabbed.
Well it takes him a while for two reasons:
1. He doesnt think to look over the profiles thinking they had covered everything before he got there.
2.They werent ALL in the media some were only friends with people who worked in the media.So the relation wasn't just jumping out at him.
Later on in the story I plan on telling that SOME of the reporters were paid not to say anything,while there friends didn't comply and were killed.
The reason these 8 were assembled is that some were asked for there talents and some volunteered.
Guess my age?

Resolved Question: what's the easiest program for colouring and drawing over pictures and documents?
I had a program for viewing photos on the computer and it allowed me to choose a "pen, brush, bucket" of color and draw over my pictures or write. It also had an "eraser" to help me correct the mistakes and also other features.
I need that program back but I forgot its name and now I have some scanned documents on which someone wrote over and I need to cover all that with white because I want to copy them on paper because the way they are it will bother me when I read.
Does anyone know what program is that and where can I download it?
Resolved Question: Is an iBook G3 a suitable computer for me?
I have a great laptop (PC) that I have used for the past 2yrs and love but have no idea what its specifications are, so I don't know if this iBook I am is built with everything i need on it.
I use my computer to write papers for college (word documents) which I always save to my external hard drive, and for e-mail and very, very light internet research (i.e. google searches, occasionally opening PDF files and Facebook checking). I am also a frequent WiFi cafe visitor. That is all; no photos, no video, no games, etc. I have never installed anything apart from Word and PowerPoint onto a computer as I've never needed anything else!
Here are the specifications of the computer I'm looking at:
600 mhz G3 processor
256MB memory
Apple Operating system X 10.4
AirPort wireless card installed and 56k modem built-in
I am basically wondering if this computer is worth $300.00 or not, and if so, does it have everything on it that I would need?
Thanks for any help you can provide!!!

Resolved Question: How can I get glue off an old photograph?
I found a photograph that I took about 5 years ago with my old 35 mm camera. I do not have the negatives anymore, and unfortunately I tried to be creative and glued a whimsical saying in the upper corner. Now I am left with a glue mark with some of the paper. Is there a save way to remove the paper along with the glue? I don't want to destroy the photo, it is special to me, and the only copy I have. I have tried to scan it on my computer, but you can still see the marks from the glue. Any suggestions?

Resolved Question: Can you recommend an excellent all-in-one ink-jet printer?
Don't care about LCD window.
DO care about:
1. Seperate (inexp.) ink tanks. Duplex copying.
2. Decent size paper feed tray & envelope feed.
3. Stand alone fax & copier (doesn't need computer to run)
4. Decent text, photo, and graphics quality.
5. Wireless if possible, but not a deal breaker.
I'm considering Canon Pixma MP970, HP Office Jet L7580, and Epson Stylus CX9400 Fax.
Are there other considerations I should include? Thanks for your help.

Resolved Question: work question?
I work at a grocery store. They changed my schedule without telling me and when I went into work the time clock said I was suppose to be working, but the paper said no. I checked to see if the schedule was dockored, but there is only one computer in the whole store and it doesn't have any photo editing software on it. The department manager reprinted the schedule. I complained to the store manager but she said it was my fault. She said any changes made to the schedule after the first one is put out is my responsibilty to look at. IS IT REALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY? Shouldn't they have called me?

And I know that there is nothing wrong with the ink cartridges, because it will print a test page just fine. There aren't any lines or streaks, only when I try to print from something off the computer does nothing come on the page. I have windows Vista.

Resolved Question: Experiences in my old home----paranormal or manifestations in my mind?
In my old home (which was sort of "creepy" and built in the 1800's) I used to experience strange feelings of being watched as well as sensations in my body of being touched, cold, and or "tingling" of the limbs at times. I expressed this to my husband a couple times, but he always cast it off. I sometimes used to hear music very faint, or even some whispering--but during times when there was some white noise (a fan or A/C unit running).
One particular instance, which I could not explain away, involved the manipulation of a photo. We had a large picture frame of guest signatures from our wedding day (no glass was in there at the time). The photo in the middle was of myself and my husband in our wedding garb. The photo was printed from our computer on paper which was not quality paper (while we were waiting for the high quality print from our photographer to place inside, then place the glass there).
Anyway, one day I glanced at the photo, and it was manipulated. I was the only one home for weeks at that time, and I never touched it. It appeared that someone had taken a pencil eraser and clearly erased two spots over my husband's lungs. It was not fading, as the entire picture would have appeared this way. It appeared very deliberate specifically over his lungs.
It really intrigued me. I was the only one in the home, and no one else had access to this. I took the photo out, and sent it to my mother-in-law (who reports she has had some paranormal experiences). She seemed pretty concerned.
What could this be? Has anyone else experienced something like this?
To be honest--it may have stemmed from my feelings of resentment toward my husband for travelling so much. If there were "entities" in that home, they certainly knew my feelings of anger and resentment toward him (I was isolated in a home in a commercial area, no neighbors, and very lonely). Perhaps it is all in my mind, and manifested by my feelings.
However, I also did have a dog who used to stare and bark at the dishwasher for no reason. We also experienced tragic deaths of three pets in the home, as well as one who disappeared (an indoor/outdoor cat). Probably not related, but I have NEVER experienced this much tragedy in one home. In fact, one of my pets ate my best friend (who was a talking parrot) when my husband was not watching--and I was not home. I used to lay on the couch after his death, and sometimes would hear his tiny footsteps by my head. He used to do this when he was alive. He used to sneak up on me and try to take my glasses off! It was very comforting to hear those footsteps.
Could there have been something going on in a paranormal way? Or, was it all in my mind? My husband gives no validity to these as paranormal, so I am just exploring to see what others may think--or may have experienced. Thanks for reading!!!
Resolved Question: How does this sound for wedding favors?
First I'm going to have bubbles in a basket on all of the tables (I love bubbles! I just think they're so pretty)
I'm also going to try to find a good deal on picture frames (maybe at a craft store or something).
I love to scrapbook and at the end of all my scrapbooks I always put one last picture followed by the saying (that i made up)
"A picture is worth a thousand memories"
Inside all of the picture frames we would use the computer to print out (on nice paper/in a nice font of course) that saying, and that would be the wedding favor...
yes or no?
Hopefully I can find a good price on picture frames (even if its just a frame big enough for a wallet photo) becuase I've got a LOT of guests (150-200) and my fiance and I are young (21) and have no help from family to pay for it. We also just closed on a house!! *Yikes! so many major purchases at once!!*
I am currently in the process of figuring out approximately how much we will need for the wedding, and once I figure that out we're probably going to take out a personal loan for it!
My moms wedding cost them 30,000$ in 2006. My step father is VERY wealthy though so they were able to pay for it in cash....
Hopefully we can cut down on costs so that it doesnt come up to that much!!!!
Voting Question: Transparent overlay program for computer monitor?
I don't know if this exists but i was looking and couldn't find one but maybe some1 else did. anyway what i am looking for is a program that will allow me to have say a picture open, but be able to adjust the transparency of the photo, and it not actually be a functional thing. I essentially want to be able to paint in photoshop like with tracing paper basically. So i want my canvas in photoshop to be the tracing paper, and the photo be the picture underneath, but since i know this is most unlikely i was wondering if there is a program that you could just open a photo, and make it transparent and when you click on it and stuff nothing happens. Hope some1 cann helpp mee
