…as in, “God! I Love IT!”, when a Plan comes together.
‘Said he, smugly. I’m talking ’bout, “the Great Pano Project”, I think I called it ‘last time. To make a long story short (as I love to do, cause I’m LAZY!) I now have, on my desktop, not one, but SEVERAL full length panoramas, in admittedly varying formats.
I FINALLY (‘capitalised ’cause it was ROUGH! ) found a program that would cut the mission. They’ll (the programmers) remain nameless ’til I can afford to make it right w/’em. Suffice it to say, I “pirated” the program; and like I said, I DO owe somebody and I INTEND to pay for it, if and when I “earn a dime” with it. And THAT’s all dependent on the next few steps; it’s got to be straightened, probably involving some cropping, and I have to figure a way to “look it over” @ a near-100% size. Not gonna trust that it hasn’t been mangled in all the processing. And I’ll have to figure out a way to watermark it.
THEN, if all goes well, I’ll have to take its measure, so to speak. The lab will need to know that (dimensions) in order to figure how much ($) to print it; or… they’ll be rolling all over themselves laughing and “planning their retirements” on it.
And I just couldn’t have anyone else know it before Her Majesty, so I just rolled in and busted up her nap and told her. Since I asked her to, she said, “yippie” and went right back to sleep. Truth to be told, she really did light up a bit at the news; I got a li’l taste of that sweet smile and told her to finish her nap.
Oh yeah! MORE news! ‘Accents is a LOT closer, now! Bre’r Roger and his trusty side-kick have done their thing. It’s still not ready for prime-time, tho’; there’s still a lot to be done. But I think it’ll be down to me, with Roger’s help, to “finish ‘er off”.
And you’ll see a whole new side of ME, artistically anyway. There will be a BOATload of HDR images for your appraisal, and I sincerely hope, approval. ‘All this, as fast as my little legs’ll carry me! (Figuratively speakin’ o’ course;I’m really sittin’ on my dead butt in a comfortable office chair the whole time!) But this hasn’t really been w/o it’s, shall we say, “Challenges”? Lots o’ skull-work, lots o’ trial an error, LOTS o’ reading, and a bunch of sweatin’ (not done, yet) over making a public fool o’ myself.
‘Can’t say when this saga’ll end; but I Promise, you’ll be along for the rest of the ride, win, lose or draw. Now, let’s see what I can find to share…
I just gave an "apprentice therapist" a pair from this set as a thank-you gift for her efforts on my behalf.
Cheers!
