MORE … Oh!

Well, at least I know Allison’s ok!

Although, according to her insurance company, she can’t actually claim for it, as there were no third parties involved.

Which seems strange to me, but there we go.

I do know she’s well enough to be boasting about beating my high score at MacDo … !

But let’s move on …

I do know I’ve been tinkering with the abilities of Preview to cut out an object — usually people! — so that I can do stuff …

Hmm …

Most to the point, I’ve been combining the .png files that the cutout’s I create with Preview, with some of the various backgrounds available with-in GIMP.

Either by adding an extra transparent layer, using the various filters to come with something entertaining, and then sending that layer to the bottom of the stack.

OR by using the Alpha to Selection feature, invert that same selection and, as above, getting going with the filters.

Which does make for some fun pictures!

The one of Cara I handled a little differently; although that was just a case of adding the a screen grab from the opening titles of a Tom Baker era Doctor Who.

Which she loved!!

And Gwen and Stef were well impressed with theirs.

What Will, Kevin and Sarah will make of their ones …
