Just ... glorious.
Thanks for sharing that, Mary!

I put this in my portfolio today too. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of noise without losing the fur? I only have the free version of neatimage and PS CS (not CS2). Both of these were taken through dirty glass and it's a common problem for me.

Yer sort of on a hiding to nothing, for sure, but for what it's worth I tried noise reduction on this one:
and found that I'd lost some fur quality and (perhaps more importantly here) lost a lot of the structure/subtlety of the painting. I undid the noise reduction, made a duplicate layer and did the noise reduction on that, then made a layer mask and used the radial gradient tool (this was in PS 7.0) to wipe out everything but a sphere (circle?) around the cat's head.
As far as dpc is concerned, you're restricted by how much editing is allowed or not. Otherwise some variation of layer mask and painting out bits is a (labour-intensive) thing to try.
Skewsme, Post, Mel, Bob, thanks for the comments.
ETA - another thing I try when neat image isn't working for me, is the PS noise reduction menu. Pretty often that doesn't work either, but there's a lot to choose from and all sorts of sliding scales and things, so you might just find something that works on glass dirt and leaves hair :)

| I don't think I will be around much for a while. I was just picked for a jury on a case that will probably last five weeks. I really didn't expect this, because I have never been picked before. Anyway, after commuting to the county court house, and sitting in the freezing air conditioning all day, I am exhausted when I get home. I'll stop in at Team Suck Clubhouse when I can, but doubt if I'll be able to enter many challenges. THIS sucks! |

I hope you get lucky and the case settles quickly. Five weeks is a long time to be on someone else's schedule.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that they settle at the last minute. that happens a LOT.

Neither my Personification nor my Bad looks like like they are going to qualify for a 5!
I think I am ready to join Team Suck! Do I qualify?

Just thought I'd drop this over here as well. I live *REAL* close to this......
Does that help explain a lot?

We won't know until you show us your poetry.
Melethia owes us a poem about yellow. Perhaps you could fulfill her obligation.
and speaking of Mel... I was rehearsing for a murder mystery dinner. I play an audience member. it's very challenging. staying in the audience is difficult for me.

It was late Friday night almost Saturday morning
When I was "asked" for a poem by this pretty odd fellow.
I think he's a Don and belongs to The Family
So I thought I'd best think of a poem 'bout yellow!
That was the subject he gave me you see
And the last Giovanni I knew was not calm
So maybe its best if I do what he's asked
And do a good job and be sure not to bomb.
But, heck, it's not much of subject to tackle
I mean yellow is naught but a colour, you see
And though I want to do good I am stymied
So I took this time to go for a pee.
My wife was in the toilet and rooted
So now I was stuck with a full and weak bladder
And even though cold I threw on a light jacket,
Went to the back garden so I could go at 'er.
When I had done what I went out to do,
I felt much more pleasant and quite a bit mellow
And then it dawned on me. I KNOW what to do!
I can just write a poem 'bout the snow that's now yellow.

| Take a good book with you JuliBoc, Jury Service is dull as dishwater. Most of the time you're just sat around waiting. Might be different in the US if you are assigned to a specific case, but be prepared! |

I'm afraid the time for reading has passed. I have been selected as a jury member on a very tragic case. Can't say more about it, but I am hoping that, as Don and Deb said, the case is settled before we have to see and hear the gruesome details. |

In that case, quite so. It's not a nice job. Though I guess someone has to do it, as the saying goes. |

What passion, what mystery, what light cast on the ills of the world.
No, seriously.
What passion, what mystery? ;)
To think you wrote that in only 48:49!
Anyway, welcome aboard, Greetmir!

Well, that does sound unpleasant. But I have to speak up for civics 101 here. If everyone intelligent, well-spoken, and thoughtful uses those talents to get out of it, who are we left to rely on to decide matters civil and criminal?
I'm eager to serve on a jury. I've been called 2 or 3 times for the pool, but I've never been picked.
I'll probably get my wish and get put on a grand jury, where you have to serve for months at a shot.

Next time if ever I'm dragged up in front of the judiciary, I want people like Julianne on the jury.

Hi Svetlana
There are ways to get out of jury duty during the initial call to the jury pool, where they ask questions like, 'Do you know the defendant?' or questions to show any racial or ethnic bias...and that's as far as I ever got when called for jury duty!
For the stage JuliBoc's at now, though, I think it basically takes a family emergency to get you out. Ah democracy. |

I can answer this with a resounding NO! I served jury duty on average every two or three years for over 20 years. The one and only time I asked to be excused (I wasn't working, it was a financial hardship to pay for a sitter on top of having to take care of my grandmother who is insulin dependent, blind and in a wheelchair) I was declined. After I went and raised holy hell (and they looked up my long record of service) they excused me, but I still had to pay for a sitter for that hour and didn't even receive the lousy $5 they pay.

Teams Minus, Hoovers, and Chasing Butterflies each have one position open.
There are 2 options:
a)  Greetmir can request a position on one of these above teams and ask for acceptance, or
b) one of the teams can offer a position to Greetmir. |
