Photoshop Elements 6



Yeah!! I loaded Photoshop Elements 6. The class that I took at TMCC used this version and it was so much easier than PS3. I also like the outcomes of the Quick Fix much better on PS6 than PS3. I started to use the organizer, however, when I went to edit the pictures it took so long to load them. Therefore, I went to my external hard drive and figured out how to organize them there without tags. I am usually interested in a group of pictures and nothing specific so I believe this system will work for me. I then renamed the folders in My Pictures to the dates taken and that will also help. I am only about one third of the way finished but I am happy so far. Now if I could figure out how to make Jim's camera only load new photos it will be much easier. Lately, everytime I load pictures from that camera I get all the photos on the memory card. It is taking so much time to figure out what I have and what I don't have that it has become frustrating. It took about 3 hours to do all the above but I am happy so far.

Washoe Grille

We went to the Washoe Grille for dinner Saturday night. It is always so tasty. I had the sea diver scallops with risotto. Way too many calories but worth it. I just need to work harder at working it off!!!

Got lots done this weekend. Another lesson on Excel is finished. Only two lessons to go and the final exam. I went to my past Photoshop class. I got a lot more out of this session. I went home and tried by my PS3 class is way behind so I went and bought PS6 today. It came with a $20 mail in rebate so I will be sure to get that out tomorrow. Tonight I will go and play with it and see what I think. I can see that it may be very time consuming, but I have lots of free time on my hands right now!!

April

It is already April and there is so much going on. I have a pretty big to do list but I am crossing the items off slowly but surely.
Next weekend is the showers. A Baby Shower for Erin and a Bridal Shower for Rachel. It should be really fun. I have been making favors and buying all sorts of fun stuff! The favors turned out really cute.
I can't believe that Erin is 7 months along. Only two more months and we will have that little guy to hang out with. Steve is so cute. He sent pictures of Aiden's room now that they have finished it. They did an awesome job. Can't wait to Erin next weekend.
Working on finishing up my Excel class. I am two thirds of the way through it today. Only three more lessons and an exam and I will be finished.
Off to change my flight to San Diego so that I can be home that Monday to work since I don't have any coverage.
