Thanks to D.C., I pulled a program down to see if there was a way to salvage what I have. The pictures here have been modified. I tried to get them as close to what I remember as possible, and perhaps a bit better if that is possible. I think I was able to pull it off, you be the judge. The program is called IrfanView, by the way. It worked far better than I had hoped. Take a look. Oh, I am sure I can do even better. Making the pictures the same size, working to more exacting color corrections, learning to manipulate the other variables a bit better. But that is talent that, when extended, becomes more of an art. Then it becomes a matter of taste, so. This is what I have today.
It is odd that they are all magenta on the right side.
ReplyDeleteI have little idea or clue about photography, but they don't look to bad to me.
ReplyDeleteD.C.,
ReplyDeleteNot all the pictures have it, if most of the ones showing do, and about 2/3 in total have it. The sun was weird that day, though, and the setting on the camera was weird too. I think I fixed the camera, but can't tell until I take more pictures. (I didn't need the manual yet, either) Some of these are ones which were too bad to show and I had to work them quite a bit. One of them is of Logan and where I live, and it came out a ton better even if it was already one of the better pictures. But I did notice that magenta thing too. *working* *working*
MK,
Thanks:) I did work on them a bit. Some of them are awful in there original state. It is actually sort of fun to work them up. Until I get more cd's, which it looks like I will have to order online, that is it for a bit.
The cd I have was a read only, so no erasing and redoing. I hate those kind. I think I was forced to buy them last time, or picked up the wrong ones. I almost hope I don't catch a fish till I get them, but... not quite. I am hungry for fish!
Never mind me then, I am just an exceptionally fussy ex-photo processor who views badly processed prints the way a violin maestro must react to fiddling.
ReplyDeleteOh? What you offer is something good for a budding photographer. Keep at it. I am not a woman, I do not take it personally. *crying* Ha! Between you and Jean I have finally gotten these up, then tweaked them, and I have tweaked my camera. I won't know about the last until the mini cds arrive, but.
ReplyDeleteI can handle criticism. And I will always complain about work. It is my nature to do so, at some point. Or to throw myself down and sob, "I can't!". hehe I don't know why, it didn't even work on my Mom past three. Meh, it is fun.
So, keep it up. (Meanie :P )
*laughs*
aha! So I am getting some credit for motivating you, even though I am a girl? Well, well, well *g*
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha
ReplyDeleteYep! I have no problem with "motivation", as I was telling D.C. And, I whine about it whether it comes from a man or woman, but girls are more fun to whine about cause I can call em' a girl too! And I do it to my Mom too. If she hasn't been around me a while, she almost takes me seriously! I have to sit down with her and splain it all again.
Yeah, if you feel picked on or such around here. Have a laugh about it. It means you are worth goosing, uhrm, with cold hands too, sometimes.
You've been warned, be on guard. Or better, not. I like that weird look on the face when people are trying to figure it out. :p
