Did a computer upgrade... The old one, after years of great service and Windows 7 :) became problematic with the graphics board. I still have it but don't know if I am gonna put in a new mother board or just pull the hard drive and set it up as an extra external drive. The quick fix was a new computer (BBF) Bigger Better Faster. Anyways, finally got pushed to windows 10.. Been Voiding It long time. After working out the work arounds to there priority work flow agenda. I have adjusted :) Sorry, just needed to do a little rant. Anyways, found that the viewer comes with a tool kit that lets you do some kinda fun stuff with pictures. So I been playing.... You can take a guess at the movie I was watching while editing. This is what came out. Not sure what it is. It was on the ticket when I got it. Neither the ticket or the plant lasted very long but I gottsa picture. Sooooo just having some fun.

Beautiful processing and a fine shot, Frankie, and I hear ya about putting off upgrading to Win10 from Win7. I finally had no choice but to upgrade a few months ago and still haven't gotten used to Win10.

Thanx..... :) It's a challenge... I dumped out of most of the Microsoft Software switched my word processing out to Word Perfect (always preferred that over the night mare the made out of WORD) and My spread sheet to Quatro (which has it's roots in the old lotus 123) much more user friendly. Excel hasn't been too friendly since Excel 5 when the took out all the data basing tools, cause they bought a couple of data base programs like FoxPro and started pushing them and not allowing data basing in the spread sheet. Also, figured out how to hide my files from the cloud (a major benefit). They have improved security which does a good job of protecting you from everyone except them... lol. The new browser has posed some challenges and organization is a bit more challenging. I decided to work with it and get out of the google chrome invasion of privacy..... sorry once I get started it just keeps flowing. Keep smiling and enjoy your day. Thanx again.

LOL I agree with you, Frankie, or at least the parts I understand.

You have a wonderful day too, Frankie!

Will the SOOC people never learn that their/our photos are the basis for flights of fantasy ... Effects and plugins are the flavor-enhancing MSG for eyes. You have cooked well Frankie.
