For lots of those images I used a school image package called Colour Magic.

If you protect the scanner using acetate then it gives a different effect from clingfilm - you can use coloured acetate as well.<br /><br />It wasn't you - I removed the comment that I was referring to about advertising. You ought to develop your textile ideas though.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-86151044950641707222010-07-23T13:08:41.286+00:002010-07-23T13:08:41.286+00:00Do like the sound of cutting fruit and veg in half...Do like the sound of cutting fruit and veg in half, thanks for that suggestion would not have thought of it myself.

I got some weird looks from the guy in the shop who asked me what I scanned. My husband said - you name it and she'll scan it. Leaves are great especially if you play about with the setting and it gives quite a different effect to taking a photo. I've done fruit and veg cut in half but you do need to protect the scanner bed with acetate or clingfilm.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-43396395205378849332010-07-23T09:13:09.156+00:002010-07-23T09:13:09.156+00:00Hi Jo, Part excited and part worried that it would...Hi Jo, Part excited and part worried that it wouldn't turn out as I wanted it - I did have another canvas done by another company which I liked but this is a better quality and if I remember rightly the other company was more expensive. The other is in the same bedroom and of a wild rose - pinkish and white too - partly why I chose this photo as the two went together well.<br /><br />By the way have a great holiday.<br /><br />Hi Craig - I'll certainly visit your other blog. I used to do a lot of digital photography and manipulating images when I was teaching and also when I was an ICT consultant.

I think you chose a lovely photo, and it looks fantastic on canvas. I too like the cornflower one. All my photos are just in files on the pc. I delete the rubbish ones, and I get my favourite ones developed and put in to photo albums, just like the old days. I'm so old fashioned, but I like to have something there to hold and look at.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-43271762421949139872010-07-23T07:38:19.269+00:002010-07-23T07:38:19.269+00:00Hi Tanya, We used to take slides too and have digi...Hi Tanya, We used to take slides too and have digitised all our slides and photos now. Maybe a winter activity?<br /><br />An 8Mpx photo would work just fine Vrtlarica - but choose a very well focused sharp photo I can set my camera to various MPX and have a general setting of 5MPX as otherwise the photos are huge. Also the higher the MPX setting the less you can telephoto on my camera. My original photo was 2560 x 1920 2.15Mb but I cropped it to remove some of the background to 1784 x 1468 1.65Mb The website advises 500KB for larger sizes of print but I guessed the bigger file size would produce a more detailed image. My print is 50cm x 41cm. The company do say you can send in a photo and they will advise on suitability.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-27352642002823760492010-07-23T06:14:18.668+00:002010-07-23T06:14:18.668+00:00I love the photo you have chosen for a print!

Then I burn them on a DVD (a CD is too small space to have them all). <br />I love taking photos, like you, and some of them will be deleted instantly, some later. But I never (so far) have more than 1 DVD of photos per year. <br />I was also thinking of enlarging some of my photos and framing them. But I’m always worried that the pictures would look blurred if the camera is not one with a lot of MegaPixels. Mine had 8MP, so I’m not sure if that is good enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-3942604978080434892010-07-22T21:36:00.021+00:002010-07-22T21:36:00.021+00:00My photos tend to get saved in files and then put ...My photos tend to get saved in files and then put onto disk...I have to admit I'm not as camera happy as i used to be and i have a cupboard full of photos from the old days when you paid for printing upstairs all labeled and dated....I really should think about taking my camera out more now that it is free....Maybe I will even end up with a picture that I would like to hang on my wall too....I have to confess I have seriously thought about scanning all my hard copies of photographs into the computer and saving them onto memory cards as I have a digital photo frame which can show many pictures...mmmm...now you've given me something else I want to do and can't fit into my day!!!<br /><br />The print looked great by the way!!allotments4you.comhttp://www.allotments4you.com/noreply@blogger.com
