I was waiting for someone who claimed to see the leopard to show us where it was. Since none seems forthcoming, here it is.

Do you see a leopard in this photo by Indian photographer Hemant Dabi?

Whatever happened to bedside manner?

Congratulations. 😀

If FIVE equals FOUR, SIX equals NINE, and SEVEN equals FIVE, what does TWELVE equal?

I’ve been using it a lot over the past few days on old scanned photos that have fair to poor resolution, with mixed results. Generally speaking, I find it tends to over sharpen; and sometimes distorts the shape of features like spectacles. I would rate it as a work in progress.

Explain this.

Math never was my strong suit, but if it takes you 600 hours to delete 72,000 messages you are deleting only about 120 messages per HOUR!

I think you mean it would take you (72000/200 =) 360 minutes, or about 6 hours to delete them all if you could delete them at the rate of 200 per minute.

it’s nice to have someone interpret for you.

Back on January 9th, a group of HELLS ANGELS, South Carolina bikers were riding east on 378 when they saw a girl about to jump off the Pee Dee River Bridge. So they stopped.

George, their leader, a big burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks through a group of gawkers, past the State Trooper who was trying to talk her down off the railing, and says,
"Hey Baby . . . whatcha doin' up there on that railin'?"
She says tearfully, "I'm going to commit suicide!!"

While he didn't want to appear "sensitive," George also didn't want to miss this "be-a-legend" opportunity either so he asked . . . "Well, before you jump, Honey-Babe . . .
why don't you give ol' George here your best last kiss?"
So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing and did just that . . .
and it was a long, deep, lingering kiss followed immediately by another even better one.

After they breathlessly finished, George gets a big thumbs-up approval from his biker-buddies, the onlookers, and even the State Trooper, and then says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had! That's a real talent you're wasting there, Sugar Shorts. You could be famous if you rode with me. Why are you committing suicide?"

"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."

It's still unclear whether she jumped or was pushed.

This is NOT a problem with your computer. As you noted, “ If I zoom in on a small (about ½ of the image or less) part of the image it works perfectly.” This is by design. If you have a large image, you cannot load it at 100%. You need to zoom out. Try loading it at 40% or 50%. I believe the reason is that Topaz uses a lot of memory to manipulate the image, so it needs to save memory on displaying the image. You should get a pop-up message asking you to zoom out.

Contact Topaz help desk for confirmation. There is nothing wrong with either the computer or Topaz. Both are working as designed.

Encore! Encore!

Thanks. That helps.

Thanks.
