“Hiding? It was our dear little starlet again wasn’t it? The one playing the princess?”

“Yes, she was annoyed that I had made her kiss the ugly one.”

“The ugly one? But the actors are identical twins too?”

“You try telling her that!”

“Say, talking about the warm food, do you think if we stop providing them with a meal their acting will be edgier, stronger – a little big hungry. This piece seems to be missing some drama.”

“Don’t you worry about that. They’re wheeling the dragon prop away now – it was only a decoy. They have no idea what’s going to come through that wall when I shout ACTION again!”

Quickly Edward looked around for a fire extinguisher. In the mirror he glimpsed a different angle of the other man. Could it be, was it? The other man looked a lot like his evil identical twin brother, Warded. They had been mortal enemies ever since the incident with the cat, the kite and the laser pointer. But if it was him, there was some hope. Warded liked fire even less than Edward. Meanwhile the princess though that she was smelling smoke. Was it smoke? Or was it her burning passion for Edward. He had come to her in the night, him, but somewhat different.

I still can't see any data in the affiliate portal. I cannot click on the calendars and going to insight gives me a data of 1969 which I'm unable to change.
I want to know urgently if I need to take down my Renderosity ads on my websites until this is fixed or whether you're still tracking that and it is just the interface that is broken.

I'd second this suggestion - I would also like to customise my wishlist and for it to remember my setting. I'm continuously sorting by vendor and then having to wait - and then you add something - and it is unsorted again ..

Thank you very much. You are super-efficient!

I couldn't resist it ...

Hi

I use Serif DrawPlus X3 - it's an affordable graphics programme with lots of features.

I prefer .png format. DrawPlus can import a .psd file if it's a single file as a picture file but it's not foolproof. 

have Photoshop elements and if it is on .psd layers I simply use that programme to convert them to .png so that I can use them in my web programme or drawplus (and I must really really want the product to go through all that effort!) If there are two similar products I'll always pick the one in .png format.

But eitiher Photoshop Elements 7 can't convert grouped layers or I have no idea how to do that - I can only use simple layers.

And since Mystikel told me about ABRViewer I bought some of her brushes and the conversion there is less than 5 minutes and have been successfully using them in DrawPlus and on WebPlus. Only warning here - brushes need to be below 165 brushes because the programme seems to crash with a larger file size. (Could also be my pc but I don't think so.)

But you may want to ask this on a more general forum because this would just be my personal opinion based on my personal preference.

You know those of us in Africa don't have one single style - if you go to an apartment in Johannesburg and I used to live there - I live a few minutes north of it now - no two will look the same. There may or may not be African-type images in our houses but mostly they're sold to tourists. I don't think any two houses in the complex where I live would have the same look inside even though our houses are identical in architecture - or lack of architecture. You'd paint the walls any colour you feel like cos you'd do it yourself and the next person can repaint it again - but the vast majoriy will have white / beige and other boring colours. If you like clutter your house will be full of trinkets - if you like minimalist - your house will be minimalist.

Only difference I've seen between USA and here - we won't put in white carpets unless it's in a room that's seldom used and for special occassions only. Tiles and wood floors are more practical - wall to wall carpeting is popular too. We don't typically have airconditioning. But you have so many cultures and languages and races living together in Johannesburg it would be completely impossible to say - that's a JHB apartment and then you'd probably have to target a particular race group - which in Africa would be okay - in USA probably politically incorrect. Also JHB is 100% city - there's nothing much left here of "Africa" - except in the odd curio store. 

Fashion comes and goes around here too - some people like the cottagy look others want ultra-modern. We have stores for everything.

None of us dress in the way poser content dresses African people - except if you're in a tourist area and putting on a show for them - and we no longer live in grass huts in the cities ... although you'd find them in the rural places. Very poor people live in shacks which is really not much better than living nowhere and there'd be not actual structure there.

Really I think you could take any modern apartment with modern furnishings and tell someone that is in JHB and it would fit

Thank you Mystikel!

That is so awesome. I'd never even thought to look for a programme to convert them but I downloaded it, tried it - worked like magic ...

Wow!

Thank you!

Thank you Roberta.

I personally don't use Photoshop but have Photoshop elements and if something is sold in simple layers I use that to just convert them to .png - if they're in grouped layers or brushes I cannot use / buy the product.

But there are some other sellers of content that are more "picture" friendly than Renderosity, only they don't have forums. Perhaps you should try the competition - you'll see a lot of overlap between vendors and clients in all the different stores.
