Thanks for finally posting so I could vote for HART

LOL! You're welcome.

Oh I forgot...I used the 35 1.4 mf lens on that shoot. I SO wish it was AF. I love that lens but it's hard to get the focus right. oi.


Becky, any kitchen store will have a small pitcher like that.

Ah. Here's my grinder...

Pete, you have to use the right kind of milk to get the right texture. It's almost solely that. There is a frothing technique for sure, but the right kind of milk makes all the difference. I use half & half in my coffee and it makes horrible froth. Way too stiff. It's the sugars in it that whip up too hard. I believe 2% milk whips the best. Though I hate that in my coffee so I gave up.

When I worked at a coffee shop I always thought the whole milk made a really nice froth.

I don't see any ads?

I don't either. Diane helped me set up FF so maybe she had me put in an ad blocker thingy.

I always post photos of Kona so today when I was playing with one of my manual focus lenses (I didn't very well...3 shots of 10 were in focus) I took some photos of Hale.

Awwww she's so pretty.

Oh! Fun shots!

Permagrin wrote in post #8874691
oh my gosh it's SO YUMMY. I've been making Americanos but they do have a tendency to overpull the shots. This was so perfect.

Jealous here!!!! I wish I could drink coffee. I sooooo love it.

Yep, and I've got 17 grades of wrongness to choose from...

update:

I uninstalled Cs2, then reinstalled it.

Seems to be working fine, except NOW I have to reload all my actions, brushes, and filters. *sigh*

Could be worse I guess.

Gah. Well, I guess you can use that as an opportunity to drop some of the less used ones...

Sounds like a slice of heaven.

You would think, but; I can't find one around here. I will though, eventually.

Yeah, and I was surprised at how quickly it loaded too.

That's the slow part about Photoshop, all of the brushes and filters it loads up...

*sigh* I've been sitting around too long, best I go get something accomplished. OK, I did spend 5 hours at the theatre setting up and photographing, but; since then pretty much nothing.

I have a file, with all my brushes, actions and fonts organized...so that if my CS3 fails it's a quick upload.

Pete wrote in post #8874055
Your question is answered....

Ads now, eh?
I guess he wasn't getting enough from donations.

Thank goodness I don't use all those funky things, I wouldn't know how to load them.

Glad it is working good for you, Cat.
