Picspams: Cat paws and Sweet Swirl Buns
IS THERE, LIKE, AN IDIOT'S GUIDE TO LIGHTROOM? I've been using Photoshop CS2, since, uh, 2006? Something like that, and Elements before that, and the jump between those didn't feel like a problem at all, but Lightroom is weird and confusing and I don't understand what the fuss is all about, you can't even do layer masks (I think). OH GOD AM I GOING TO HAVE TO BUY PS CS4, TOO?
Anyway, laboriously edited on ye olde no-longer-internet-capable laptop (sob):
1. Cat pictures for lage_nom_ai. More specifically, paws! More specifically, Major's paws, since he was nice enough to show them in almost-decent light the other day.
2. Oh, look, it's a food picture! I was only making Shrove buns for three people, so I used the rest of my sweet bun dough for these cinnamon-almond... swirl things. Basically, you roll out a sweet yeast dough, smear it with goop of your choosing (mine was butter, ground almonds, sugar, cinnamon and cardamom), fold it over, cut out strips, cut each strip almost-in-two lengthwise, wind, and roll up. Uh. WOW, THAT IS NOT A HELPFUL DESCRIPTION. AT ALL. I will make some more tomorrow and take pictures to illustrate, because it's really quite simple and also delicious.
