Thursday February 23, 2006 6:55 am Ballina NSW

A. Morning Musings

6:55 am There was a little rain overnight but I see a fair amount of blue at the moment. There is nothing scheduled for today. This is a good opportunity to have a close look at the first chapter or two of "The Photoshop Elements 4 Book for Digital Photographers". 7:05 am

B. Plan

Chores: none

Exercise: beach walk.

C. Actual

7:05 am I spent an hour reviewing the photos I took while birding and kept only a few that showed each bird clearly. 8:15 am

1:30 PM Continue reading "Vincent by himself" 2:30 PM

3:00 PM Take a walk to Shelly beach to look for birds with the camera. 4:00 PM

9:15 PM I have been playing with the steps at the beginning of "The Photoshop Elements 4 Book for Digital Photographers for the last hour. I like the idea of immediately creating a CD of the images downloaded from the camera. I did this with the images I took this evening. Overall I was successful, but I did have some difficulty with a few of the steps when the screen displays failed to match with those in the book. I also liked the idea of creating special pages for the CD jewel case. I was not sure when I was finished whether the CD created by Photoshop Elements would still allow additional images to be added. A test confirmed that it would. Good. 9:25 PM

D. Reflection

I was a little disappointed in the Photoshop Elements 4 Book for Digital Photographers as it wasn't quite as straight forward as I had hoped. There were some differences between the book and what the screen showed, but I was able to get the task of preparing a backup CD for the images I took earlier in the day. However I do not yet have the series of steps down as a regular routine. I think I should make a few notes about this tomorrow.
