Tea? (Part 2)

[ColinJ]

I'm sure they did, but he'd taken offence, and maybe didn't want to back down.

Still, Tea goes on...

Speaking of which ... I am hungry and thirsty - byeeee!

 

[Speicher]

Ah - that makes sense, but didn't anybody explain to LotT that it was a technical decision not an editorial one?

I'm sure they did, but he'd taken offence, and maybe didn't want to back down.

Still, Tea goes on...

I think he was offended that they did not tell him before the change was made. As Arch says, once you have taken offence it is difficult to put it back.

 

[Speicher]

Did someone mention

I'm a bit worried....I've been reading Wol's posts and I don't understand them......it's all a bit too technical for me

I may have mentionned that in the past, I have been known to use a screwdriver in four languages.

Today I have been looking at all my photos on the laptop puter. I have successfully learnt how to do a slide show.

I have also put some of the photos the right way up, and may delete some of the very fuzzy blurry ones. I have got Windows live photo viewer, and Windows live photo gallery on the laptop. Are they very similar? At this stage, I will be just straigtening the photos, and possibly cropping them a teensy bit, so I do not yet need anything complicated.

I use windows live photo gallery for most of my basic photo editing.

The photo viewer is the basic, well, viewer and gallery is where the editing takes place. I'm not sure why they are so similar yet different.

 

[Speicher]

Thank you Jo. I did not want to be using one of them, only to find the other one is more useful.

Edit: Has one of them got the slide show "maker"?

On a completely different subject, and just to confuse Wocky even more , I have been plotting some of my regular (short) walks on GetaMap. I thought the gradient of two of the walks would be about 7%.. It turns out they are both 15%.

It is also exactly one mile from here to the Railway Station.

On GetaMap I can go into the Satellite mode, and plot a walk using the paths that I can see, which are not on the Bike Routely (?) ones. So I could therefore calculate the height of one of the local hills. Someone had told me that the climb from a certain point to the very top is 300 feet. It is 300 metres according to GetaMap. Not a lot of difference!

 

[coffeejo]

Ooh, good point. I need to work out a route for tomorrow's ride.

Uh oh, hide the beer

Talking of photos. The photos are stored in date order currently. So for holidays, I can (so far) remember when I was in Sweden, the Lake District etc. But I cannot always remember when I managed to take good photos of the cats. So if I "tag" them, is this like giving the photos a title?. So later I could search for all the "Leo" photos, or ones of the garden etc?
Does this still keep them in date order overall?

I could send you the route around the large fields at the back of my house, but it might be just a teensy bit far for your ride tomorrow.

Yes, and yes.

The way I tag my photos means that if I search for "dog", it shows me all the photos I've taken of dogs but a search for "snipe" only brings up photos of Herself. So a photo of her and a friend's dog at the beach is tagged "beach", "dog", "snipe" but I might name the photo "Dunster". If that makes sense?

 

[potsy]

If that makes sense?

Of course dear

I should really tag my photos like that, how do I do it?

 

[Speicher]

So I could tag a photo "Leo" and "garden"? This is not as daft as it sounds. The days that the weather and light is good for taking a photo of the cat, also shows the garden. I have managed, in Gallery, to "repair" a photo. It was something photographed on a table and I managed to remove the dirty mark on the table.

I think as I delete photos, I might try "altering" them. Then it does not matter if I change a good photo and forget to keep a good version of the photo before altering that. Not that I can think of anyone who would have altered what was a lovely photo of a lake in Sweden, ruined the photo, and then found that the original was not there.

 

[Speicher]

On the tags, do you have to put a semi-colon or something inbetween the name tags?

 

[Speicher]

Yes, and yes.

Yes, that does make sense. So tagging is not the same as putting a title on the photo?
