omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I just sent a feature request to Apple for the iPhone. I'm wondering if others do it too, it might get put in.

I finally pressed the "Emergency Call" button. I feared it dialed 911, so never pushed it. Nope, it just brings up the dial keypad, but no address book.

My suggestion was to somehow allow a mini-address book for I.C.E. numbers (In Case of Emergency). Should something happen to me, I'd love my phone to be of use in contacting the ones I love without having to know the pass code.

is there a photoshop guru out there that can answer some of my stupid trial and error questions?

I can try... I wouldn't claim to be a guru, though.

Not a guru either, but I do spend a lot of time with it. I'd be happy to try too.

well, hell, ginger, I might just suggest that we do a little work before dinner on Friday :)

I do a lot of stuff by trial and error and I've figured out some stuff, but sometimes I'm just baffled.

Sure. Any program that calls sharpening images "unsharp mask" is not particularly intuitive.

If anything stumps the others, I'll be happy to pitch in with PS help, as it's one of my primary tools.

Thanks guys, I'm almost embarrassed because my questions will be so simple.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My keyboard suddenly decided to swap the @ and " symbols. (When I press the " key, the @ symbol shows up instead and vice versa.) I swear I didn't do anything to make this happen.

WTF???

Do you roll your eyes a lot when you quote people? Maybe the keyboard is trying to bond with you.
