hello there! so maybe not many of you remember, but i busted in here a week or two ago, and caused a bit of a ruckus over color space and such... made some promises about tutorials, etc, then never delivered. Well. just wanted to apologize in case any of you were concerned. I honestly had some good intentions, but did not forsee a project which soon did land in my lap. Somehow, someone thought it would be a good idea for me to design and produce the annual report for my local public school system! (i live in Portland, OR, population: a few million) Actually, its more like a three year report, covering some 50-ish pages, coming at a hyper-critical time with them choosing a new superintendent, funding crises, etc. All eyes are on me right now, and they're hoping i can be at least a small savior. No pressure, right? So, this has pretty much consumed my life and will continue to do so for the next couple of weeks. So, anyway, i apologize with all me heart for not following through and hope that i didnt disappoint too much. As soon as i get a moment or two to breath, i promise i'll put together a nice easy Lab tutorial (if anyone's interested), and will throw in a really really useful grain and sharpening trick (if desired) as well.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,
Earth.

Hilarious picture! Speaking only for myself, I'll be glad to see your tutorials on LAB color, etc., but not SO glad that I just can't wait, if you know what I mean... Hope your life settles down quickly!
