What are you thinking of? (Ver 2) Options

Not the TV...! 12:00 A.M - 5:30 A.M. has always been my special quiet time. >_____<

I'm thinking this newfound stress calls for a nice frappuccino ... and I need to buy more of them while I'm at it.

You?

xD "Poor Beth-chan!" *turn off the power to everything in the house Beth-chan doesn't need or is using at the moment. >.O*

[Noriko]

Thanks. I like my peace and quiet, especially when I'm expecting it. ^^;

I'm thinking of how frustrating removing backgrounds from images can be. x.x;

You?

[Docs Fox]

Do you me like extracting something out of a picture? Like say singling out the girl in my siggy? I can do that fairly well in Photoshop CS2 in under 30 minutes.

"That's tedious and not fun though. <.<; "

[Noriko]

Yeah, it takes me anywhere from fifteen to forty minutes to extract something, depending on whether part of it has to be redrawn or not. I'm semi-good at it, but get frustrated with it and often save the file to work on later. ^^;

You?

[Docs Fox]

Do you use the lasso or the extraction tool? <3 that extraction tool. =D

[Noriko]

Lasso on actual photos, and the extract tool for anime-ish stuff. I hate having to extract (I sometimes get stuck with it for newspaper spreads, ick) actual photos. They're really hard for me to work with. o.o;

[Docs Fox]

@-O But the extraction tool is like a million times better when doing stuff like RL hair.

[Noriko]

But it's mean to me with those images... I dunno. I don't do it much anyway. XD;

... and I need to clean out my LJ image folders. Too much clutter, ack. @_@

"I've tried selecting hair with the lasso and the extraction tool and the lasso took 2-3 times as long and the selection was much worse. xD"


You?

[Noriko]

I've only worked with real hair once... My real photos have been: a graduation cap, an ear with an ipod cord, a stack of books, and something I can't remember right now. XD;

[Docs Fox]

lol Well that's all so BORING xD Oh well...don't want your job to be too hard. xD

[Noriko]

Because people write boring stuff, so boring photos accompany them! ;P

School papers are so lame... I'd rather we had a magazine; so much more fun stuff can be done there. And the pages look much nicer. o.o

"I don't think I remember anyone reading my high school paper outside of the music reviews. <.<; "

You?

[Noriko]

No one really reads ours either, aside from that nice English teacher that I can't talk to anymore... hm. The leisure page is kind-of nice, and the photo essay can be good, but otherwise? Zzz... XD;

[Docs Fox]

lol I remember trying to read a few articles in the school paper and found myself correcting basic sentence structure, being annoyed with the use of first-person ( I, my, me, ect. ) and would just quite reading when I read 'I think' or 'in my opinion.' xD

[Noriko]

That's pretty much why I exist... I write a little, but most of my time is spent correcting people so they look somewhat professional. The fact that juniors/seniors can't write well in third person is both sad and funny... XD;

[Docs Fox]

lol It just annoys me, and since I don't like reading articles normally, it just makes me that much less likely to read it. xD

'Why even have a high school paper? <.<; There are other ways to train you for that stuff that are much more effective and less stressful and don't cost the school money."


You?

[Noriko]

It annoys Tyler too, so I somehow got dragged into helping him proofread and I help everyone in the class since he can't be in the class with us, but he comes in after school...

... really, we're the only people who give a damn about the paper. Even the staff adviser doesn't care all that much.

I don't really care about the paper though... moreso Tyler's mental health. x.x;

[Docs Fox]

"moreso Tyler's mental health. x.x;"


'Poor guy...maybe he'll go insain and blow up the school paper room? xD'
