Up 'til now I've been using PSP for everything, but as of this afternoon I have been blessed and am now proud owner of a copy of PS7 :)
I've just been playing around with some of the things it does before attempting anything funny/useful/fluffy so here is the output of my 1st ever attempt at using the program.

Hardly FP material, but hey, were all here to learn. Is there any cool funky features I'm likely to not have spotted yet myself? Or is it a case of press things and see what happens (as with most things in my experience)

little techniques are often very good for styling photos.
i find that if an image looks too rough, flatten it, add 3% monochrome noise, and gaussian blur it by a fraction of a pixel. gives a nice aged look.
i still have no fucking clue what "variations" does yet.

If I make a selection in 1 image and copy it to clipboard. Then go to another image and hit paste, it pastes the clipboard onto the middle of the second image and just dumps it in the middle. In PSP I'm used to it being selected when I pasted it in. Here I seem to have to re-select it manually if I wanna shift it around.
Is there a proper way of doing this? Or is that for kids and sissy's?

i wouldn't put it quite like that, but:
(a) i've had a bad year and finding it hard to settle, need a gap year really
(b) i never really liked the place in interview, god knows why i came back
(c) the style of teaching doesn't suit me
(d) it's incredibly depressing
the number of people who have talked to my mum with a "leaving oxford? yes! fight the power!" attitude is very suprising though.

uni is far more about the experience than any actual learning you might do. Oxford seem to concentrate on the learning too much. Ergo, oxford = cranberry.

And nope, today has gone great! I brought year 8 into line through careful applications of threatened detentions, moving people and warnings, there was total silence in the parts of the lesson where it was required, and it was smashing. Had the added bonua of catching a truanter later on in the day and frogmarching him to the reception for his punishment.
Stalin is my rolemodel... ^_^
EDIT: Pluke, one of the better ideas for lectures is to take most of your group to the local student bar, buy your pints, drink, repeat until your next lecture, and take one with you under your coat. The sight of a lecturer staring at a row of people suddenly removing pint glasses of various bevvys simultaneously half way through a lesson is rather amusing... ^_^

Starburst is a shit name. Opal fruits were much better.
Although when I was working in a primary school a few months back, there was a kid whose sandwiches consisted of white bread, butten and opal fruits dotted around, because his mum believed they contained sufficient fruit to be healthy. And she wondered why he had ADHD...

Might raise some questions about Princess Di's death and the parentage of those two young royal zeppelin
People are petty. The monarchy are stupid.
Killing bush would do very little good the neo conservatives (Americans for a new century etc.) would just find another monkey to get into the top spot. Plus they would probably go on another rampage and swing further to the right.
