Tulips, from May

7 Delicate

An interesting weekend — alternately exciting (Wow! Look at that!) and frustrating. Learning what can be done, and what can’t. Yesterday I had problems getting the Flickr Uploader to work, but today it seems fine. I am loving loving loving being able to move my laptop easily between the living room and sun room. The battery life is amazing compared to the HP.

iPhoto, unlike Picasa (which is not available for the Mac) does not automatically add photos edited and saved with a new name in Photoshop Elements. This was annoying until I realized I probably don’t need iPhoto at all — Elements for the Mac seems to do everything I want.

Woke stiff-necked this morning, too much time looking at the screen. So I’m rationing myself today. It is so fun — stimulating — to be zipping around the Web again. Lots to read and think about. Also, I have a new poem, but I can’t post it here yet; I entered it in a contest.

This tulip photo is one of my favorites from last month — lots more to come.

Happy Monday!

    Re: Pingomatic, no, but it seems to be rather unhappy right now. Was working last time I posted, which was last night.
    Isn’t battery life great? I get six hours on my tiny little Sony Vaio, and it’s like a whole new world of happiness. No more power outlet paranoia!

    I’m not exactly sure what you mean by that, but iPhoto can use Photoshop (or any other image editor) as it’s external editor and the new version of the photo will be in your iPhoto library, along with an archived copy of the original file.
    I’d play around with and explore iPhoto a bit more before you consign it to the rubbish bin. I’ve found it to be an invaluable tool.

    Well, Maggie, I believe you — but I can’t make it work. I’ll keep trying.

    What are you trying to make it do?
    What work are you seeking to accomplish?

    Here’s where Automator comes in. If you want to do something like add edited photos in PSE to iPhoto, you create the necessary script to do so. So basically anything you want to do that doesn’t happen naturally in the program, you can do with Automator. It’s a Tiger thing.
