On my iBook G4, anytime I start up from a shut down, my skype auto-starts. How can I make it stop doing that?
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Right-click the Skype icon in the dock and unselect "open at login." I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally ticked that box for something ridonkulous like Photoshop that I really DON'T need opening every time I turn on the computer.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
On a pc, you could run msconfig and turn it off that way - I assume there's some parallel process for the iBook.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know how to phrase this question.
I have an image I want to streak. If you imagine a selection with a raggedy right side, I want the right hand side of the image to be motions streaks of the selection itself. Does that make sense? Like you've dragged it across the canvas.
I have Paintshop Pro, Gimp, and Adobe CS3, and speak the languages in that order of familiarity.
OK. I gotta go put memory in my Powerbook.

There's a Blur tool in Photoshop, ita. I'd try copying the picture layer, then either use the Blur manually OR use the Filter effects, there's a whole set of blur effects, which includes Motion, IIRC. Then you add a mask to that layer, and either have an abrupt dividing line between the blur and the clear portion, or else put in a gradient black-to-white on the mask so that it comes in gradually.

Will that allow me to effectively drag the right edge of the image along the canvas?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
in the Skype app, there should be a check box in the pref's. I can't guide ya to it, as my iMac is getting a hard drive replaced.
