Eye One

Today I headed over to Tasha's after a brutal 6:30 am wake-up for a scholarship banquet. The first thing we did was to color calibrate my monitor. We hooked up this mouse-like looking thing to the front and it picked up how much light was in the room (which was too warm and too bright, but there's nothing we could do about that) and how much light is in the computer. I had to turn the brightness down a couple notches and then it got to work calibrating the colors on my screen. The eye-one display essentially gives the colors on my screen accuracy between viewing and printing. Here's what it looks like:

After lunch, Tasha sent me some of her own photo templates that she uploads to her blog. She showed me how to format them in Photoshop and upload them to blogger. I realized I take many more horizontal shots than vertical shots so it would be up to me to make my own templates that fit my style. She also showed me how to stamp your photos.  If you have any good ideas for a logo/name that could go in the corner of my photos, let me know! For now it just says grace.veker.photos. I also removed the photos from my first post and inserted a template with three so you can check that one out too! Here is one example: it's a lot harder than it looks!
