I decided to mess around with my free demo version of Pixelmator and set up a graphic for this blog's title layout.
In retrospect, I wish I had produced the graphic on Madison's laptop, since it has a version of Adobe Photoshop, which is a thousand times easier to manipulate images with than the Pixelmator demo. Unfortunately, the laptop Jen and I use has Mac's new Leopard OS, and Adobe did not make any of their previous Suite products compatible (not very cost-effective from what I've read).
Shilling out the big bucks for Adobe's CS3 is not in the cards for me at the moment, so I plod on with this demo product. It's not terrible, but it does have some clunky tools and saves every image with a watermark. In order to remove the watermark, I have to save the original image in a larger canvas size and then reopen in another program, Preview, so I can crop it in a manner that excludes the watermark.
Yeah, I think I'm using Maddie's computer next time.
