To the skies again...

I am now the proud holder of an FAA Medical Certificate Third Class.

Next step: become the proud holder of a BFR (Biennial Flight Review) signoff from an instructor. That one will take a little longer. :-)

(Need a "flying" usericon. Can't figure out how to get Paint to crop a .jpg! Grr.)
edit: got one!

Woohoo!
(send the .jpg to me and I'll crop it, if someone hasn't already volunteered - Paint *sucks*.)

Finally got it! [livejournal.com profile] crazyladynocats told me how. (And once I forget how again, I may very well take you up on that offer someday, so thanks!)

Sheesh, that shouldn't've been so darn hard. :-)

It's three steps too many - I hate Paint. At least XP came with MS Photo Editor, which allows you to select and crop with two mouse clicks :):).

(By the way, I hate iPhoto even more - it **sucks**.)

Loves me my Photoshop, yes I do!

Paint seems very simplistic. But it's here, it's free, and it can (though sloppily) do what I needed to do... fortunately I don't need to do anything like that often!

I could imagine getting very addicted to Photoshop. From what I've heard, it's an excellent tool for the job.

It's amazing, and much more than I need. But I love it!

Check out The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org). There's a Windows version available, too.

Yay Open Source!

Irfan View (http://www.irfanview.com/) crops and otherwise manipulates raster images very nicely.
