Even if you don’t have a Nikon camera nor those expensive cameras which produces quality pictures you can still have those great photo shots all you have to do is edit it using the Adobe Photoshop or some other softwares that manipulates photo editing.

* A new popup window of CURVES will appear. You may now adjust it by pointing the cursor inside the popup window and drag it. Just be careful in dragging it ’cause you might drag it over that will result to bad effects. Then click OK.

* This will help you manipulate the darker tomes of the photo.

* After doing so, click the FILTER button then click SHARPEN and drag the cursor to the right then click SMART SHARPEN.

* A new popup window of SMART SHARPEN will appear. You may now adjust the sharpness of the photo by pointing the cursor to the AMOUNT button then click OK.

Reminders!

Want a reminder to use less paper?

The Bite
Here goes: Use digital desktop notes that act as reminders on your laptop or phone instead of Post-its. They’re cost-free, tree-free, and never lose their stickiness. Don’t forget.

The Benefits

• Paper-free mnemonic devices. Sticky notes don’t use all that much paper, but the average American uses the equivalent of a tree 100 feet high and 18 inches in diameter each year, and every little bit counts.
• Remembering to save cash. Post-its aren’t that expensive either (at maybe a buck per 100), but free’s even better.

Personally Speaking...

For the sad few of us in the office who don’t have BlackBerrys or iPhones, there’s always a notes feature that comes preinstalled on your cell.

Guidelines for your child...

Here are some guidelines for the types of play your child may be most interested in at different stages, according to Catherine Marchant, a play therapist at Wheelock College in Boston:

Social play

Interacting with you and others is important throughout the first year. Infants like to smile, look, and laugh. Older babies enjoy games such as peekaboo and itsy-bitsy spider.

Object play

Touching, banging, mouthing, throwing, pushing, and otherwise experimenting with things is fascinating for the 4- to 10-month-old set.

Functional and representational play

Pretending to use familiar objects in an appropriate way — pushing a toy lawn mower over the grass, or calling Grandma with a hairbrush, for instance — is the height of fun for 12- to 21-month-olds as their imaginations begin to blossom.

Early symbolic play

This type of play, common around the age of 2, creates something out of nothing. Your child might play with a shoebox as if it were a school bus, complete with motor noises, for example, or pretend to eat a plastic ring, insisting it’s a doughnut.

Role play

Around 30 to 36 months your little actor will begin taking on new roles. Playing doctor, teacher, or mommy is common now.
