Plagued with Red-Eye

Posted on December 25, 2007 by Lori

Our family is plagued with the red-eye syndrome!  Here is the Adobe Photoshop tutorial that I use to remove it from our pictures.  Basically, it has you creating a new layer for the fix.  On that layer, you select an “eye color” (sampled if possible) and paint over the red portion.  Select Filter, Blur, Gaussian…

Higher Praise — I thought I had lost it!

Posted on December 2, 2007December 2, 2007 by Lori

Higher Praise is a wonderful resource for Bible study, children’s Sunday School lessons, song lyrics, videos and more. For some reason, I lost my bookmark for this and went on a frantic search. Then, I remembered that I had it on the “old site” and decided I really needed to move that stuff over here….
