Adobe photo shop elements 9, i have had it for a few years but just now downloaded it into a newer computer so i could use it as my old puter died on me and i lost all my photo and paint programs with it.
it is an easy program to use and well worth the money as you can mark your photos as well as place info in the file, such as name and copyright info.

thanks.. 2 of the birds from eggs from florida ... i seemed to have the highest % hatch with her eggs .. got me some purple bs / pied combos as well .. NO more ordering eggs for me for a LONG time...lol

Wow you are in New York and eggs from Florida hatched for you? That is really good! I am still sad that none of those eggs Deerman sent me developed.

He packed them so well but I think the distance was just too much on them.

Zaz I have edited photos to change the lighting but I never thought of making them less foggy. You did a great job cleaning those photos! I agree anything Adobe is normally really good. You can find tons of tutorials for using Adobe programs and booklets you can buy that give you step by step lessons showing you how to do different things with picture examples. Photoshop is probably my favorite, although now that I am used to using Adobe premiere pro (video editor) I like that program a lot too. Adobe audition is fun too even though I don't know how to fully use it. I was able to make some music in audition which was time consuming but neat. Also you can get certified for the different programs. Usually the certification tests are pretty easy. Most of you probably have a good job or are retired, but if you are still in school getting certified in an adobe program can look good on your resume.

Happy late birthday Birdrain! A few years ago for my birthday I got the camera I have now and I got to go take photos of wild ducks with it. That was really fun especially because it was my first time having a camera that could zoom that well. I also got a compound bow for Christmas one year - It is really fun but don't get the idea to hold it horizontally and try to shoot. I got that idea and it really popped my arm! I also had fun making a snow man (we were in Alabama on a trip and it was snowing) and the next day it was more like an ice man so I started shooting at it with the bow. The only bad thing is if you miss, you loose the arrows in the snow! Also I have lost arrows in the leaves. I need to use my bow again. I never practiced enough to get really good but I did win a bet when my friend put a styrofoam cup on the target and told me he bet I couldn't hit it. When I did he lost his drink.

My dad has a blow gun that I sometimes play with. I shoot at my friends with it (the darts are wooden and not very pointy). Recently the dog decided she wanted to "play" with a Native American knife my dad had just finished making. I was at school so I didn't get to see the knife, but evidently it was one of the nicer knives my dad has made. Well the dog jumped up onto the kitchen table, took the knife, but dropped it and it broke. My dad was VERY mad. It takes him a long time to make his knives look aged and to make the hide glue - Of course the hide glue and the strip of animal hide wrapped around the knife made it irresistible to our little dog who likes to chew on animal hide and tear up peacock feathers.

I agree about the wolf thing...This person on a different website told me I didn't know what I was talking about and that they were overkilling wolves, etc. While wolves are important in the ecosystem, it is like you said they introduced the wrong kind of wolf! I think it was the grey wolf that originally was in that region? The kind they introduced is like an artic wolf which is bigger. I think it is an issue, although I don't live there and there are different arguments about it. All I can say is the wolf is my favorite animal, but even so I am not against people going on wolf hunts to help control the population - I am not saying kill them all just keep it to a healthy population. Just like I like raccoons but I go coon hunting.

I like wolves too but the surplus pop shouldn't be. I like the normal gray wolves not the Canadian ones. I love most animals but when humans decide to come in and try to help sometimes it just ends up becoming worse. Nature will always find a way. If something is out of balance Nature will take care of it in some way. I feel like I'm reciting Jurassic Park. I feel sorry for you're dad. That's why our dogs our always outside. They are pure bred Border Collies.

Haha here is an over used saying in Jurassic Park: "We spared no expense" and yet everything still went haywire. I love Jurassic Park so much! I can't wait for the next one! I love dinosaurs!
