This looks horrible! Those wind speeds are insane. At least they're expecting it, unlike where Helene ended up - that's not downplaying the severity, but hopefully they can be better prepared. I've got a high school friend who lives in the path. I was going to contact him, tonight to see what he's doing, but it was late. I'll try tomorrow, morning. ... View more

Yes, it was off the charts for a hurricane to have so much power that far inland. I was hoping to go up to Chimney Rock in the fall and take photos, but doesn't look like a good idea, this year. ... View more

There is an Adobe employee, Joe Pearl, who lives near Ashville. It took several days for him to respond to my message about how he was doing, but he finally did. His home suffered no damage, but communication is spotty or non existent, at times. He's still trying to get utilities back. He managed to get some gas 45 miles away, for his generator. Such a horrible mess out there! ... View more

Thanks, yes, we're okay. We are actually out in CA when it hit. Our daughter was watching our place. She said that there was a good amount of rain and some strong winds, but no damage. ... View more

The rules are voted in my the homeowners. We have a HOA "Police" in our cul-de-sac, and we got a violation the first 2 weeks that we were there, for putting a birdbath in our front yard - even though the president and another board member have them in their front yards - see photo. Our neighbor across the street got into it with her, as he wanted to put up a full sized totem pole, in his back yard that his 95 year old uncle carved. He did manage to get approval, but the ARC said that he could only place it in two locations - both of which were right in front of his windows. He didn't listen to them ans placed it where he wanted - see photo. Our neighbor also got gigged for having a retractable screen door. Well he got fed up with them and got on the board. We can now have birdbaths, in the front yard and retractble screen doors. He wants me to get on the board, as well. ... View more

There is also a technique using auto blend, by masking out the areas of each image you want to exclude, but leaving a good amount of overlap. There are tutorials, on this, on Youtube. ... View more

That's interesting that PS does that. I would agree that your situation should be affected by Adobe's rules. This isn't whatt you were really asking about, but a workaround might be to create a duplicate document and remove the nudes, leaving just the background, then expand the background, and finally putting the nudes back in. ...

That's a hard call. There are so many programs that now require a subscription that I don't bother with learning or getting new things, as I just wouldn't use them enough to justify the cost. I still have an old version of Microsoft office 2010 that works, so that's good. I can justify upgrading to their subscription version. Used to love Filemaker, for database, but it's now a subscription, so I stopped using that. So many others. They all add up to too much to spend on software. Got to be very selective, now. ...

Very nice! Our HOA doesn't even allow vegetable gardens! I used a have a little garden, when I lived in Los Angeles. Too a fair amount of work. I had another little one, when I moved to the central coast. I could never seem to get a mandarin orange to grow well there, which was one of my favorites, in LA. Now I don't even try in, NC. Although I am thinking of taking out some shrubs that I don't like and planting blueberries.  ... View more

It's amazing what we can do with a little ingenuity. @Nancy OShea, your duct tape post made me remember a photo I did, while in high school. I borrowed my dad's old Argus C3 camera and was taking photos of everything. I wanted to try taking closeup photos, but I didn't have the money for lens diopters or extension tubes. So I unscrewed the lens on the camera and taped on the core of a toilet paper roll, as an extension tube. Then, since the camera  was a range finder camera, I had to figure out how to focus it. So I placed a piece of wax paper in the camera on the film plane and focused it and taped a string to the lens to mark the distance. I then loaded a roll of fill and took this photo of a scorpion, on my finger. Yea, I did some stupid things when I was young. ... View more

As the others mentioned, scripting can get the info. You can store the info in an array. It will record the points in the orthat they were drawn.  I'm curious as to how a jpg file has path info stored? I thought that wasn't possible.  ... View more

When you turn off a color channel, the color you see will be that of the remaining channels, and if you really wanted to keep the look of with the channel removed, you need to create a new layer, and paste each of the channels that you like into the channels for that layer The ones that you don't want, should be all black. There are lots of ways to do this.   If you just want to change the color, I would try a hue saturation adjustment layer, and change the hue. ... View more

First thing - not relate to your issue, but use a blank layer above your original layer, as you really don't want the pattern messing up your original layer. Were you able to create a pattern layer with the spacing that you wanted? Did you make the reference file? I see on your screen shot that you have use reference file checked, which you don't do, until you have all the settings they way you want them and you have made the reference file. As far as the normal fill dialog box that comes up, after you select ok from my script, there should be several scripts to choose from. If you don't see these, look in Photoshop's subfolder presets\deco. All the deco scripts should be there, including the one that my script created: TempFillScript. ... View more
