New start page

I've been trying to find a way to unite all of my sites, blogs and galleries. One of my main problems was finding a decent search engine. Google is great, but I needed something that would go deeper.

Years ago, on a different server, I used one called FreeFind search engine I was still new to the internet and used just the basics. Now I'm taking advantage of many of their features.

With the search box on the Start page you can find exactly what you need. An index and sitemap will be added soon. These will give you a better idea of what to expect.

Post Crossing

I'm joining Postcrossing This will be the first card I'll send out. I'll Tweet the results.

Did you know that they sell frames for postcards. At Bags Unlimited the postcard frames lets you view the front and back. They also have sleeves, storage boxes and more. Great idea.

The photo used to make this postcard was taken in Val des Monts, Quebec last fall. I enhanced the photo with Topaz Labs I just got an upgrade to Topaz Detail 2, it's great.

In the Gallery I have another photo I enhanced with Topaz Labs The original photo was taken by the cat's owner, who got a print as a gift and she loved it.

Shooting great photos is the first step. Getting the best print is another. I found this article very interesting. I needed to know which file format is best. I test on my own printer but I also have prints done by pros. So I need to learn how best to prepare my file before uploading it. This article answered several of my questions.

Found this article on colour management. Then you can test on your printer to see the difference.
