richard, i knew you were teasing Andreas about something. i thought you were saying it was tilted and i wanted to know how one could determine that in a more precise way other than just visually. sorry i didn't catch your humor better. :) Andreas, thanks so much for that WONDERFUL card!!! It's FANTASTIC!! I should frame it!!! Richard, i have to confess to another DUH...where the hell the's straighten tool in PSP???? kemal and i just looked and couldn't find it. :( and thanks for explaining about that lens distortion. well, that certainly helps me understand! i'm assuming there's nothing one can do about a lens distortion??? What did you do to my frame, Richard??? LOL!! :) Anyway, i hope that i do have that straighten tool in my PSP7. that would help a lot if i do! :) if not, you think using the cropping tool the way i did with Andreas' image is precise enough? Dovid, thanks so much for that link!!! i will check that out!! :) Marlene, Animal House....YEAH yeah!!! that's the one!!! Thanks!!! that was driving me NUTS!!! Slumber party sounds GREAT!!! Andreas, you can bring your Porky's DVD!!!! LOL! :) Marlene...yeah...i agree with you. i ALSO stand by my initial feeling that there was NOT a tilting issue going on with this picture! Yep...like you said...done deal! :)
