I'm glad you took a little time to breathe -- that's quite a list for one day.

B/J can overwhelm anyone's visual desires.

Oh, the Christmas rush! But, I love it and I was wired for the rest of the day. I think it aggravated my sunburn and my cheeks are still in pain < --- from being out in the sun, heh.

An excellent point you make! :)

Busy busy busy! Glad that you go (almost) everything sorted out and ready to go, though. Now you deserve cookies. COOKIES!

amelialourdes December 22 2009, 19:19:43 UTC

Almost! Just two more days to try to figure everything out. Cookies! I'm resisting the urge to bake the ones that I have downstairs or else they're not going to last until Christmas, lol.

Looks like a very busy day.o0

I still wish I could make screencaps at all, so admittedly all kind of caps look good to me.:)

amelialourdes December 22 2009, 19:20:56 UTC

So busy! But, it felt good to just get everything done even if it did take all day.

I guess I'm just anal about everything! If I see one cap and it's the perfect size, then I get self-conscious about mine because they're smaller but they still look okay. Oy.

Hahaha. Oh nothing, nothing at all.

it's because the qaf devds are horrible quality. can't compare one dvd to another :P but yeah, it sucks. tis why i always hated making qaf icons.

amelialourdes December 22 2009, 19:23:20 UTC

A good point you make. See, once upon a time they didn't look this bad though and I was able to take 1024x764 caps and they looked good. I just didn't use them because they looked a little squished. But, I updated my program and my computer updated itself and now it takes caps differently. I think I'm on the verge of giving up and just VLC'ing it and clean up the caps myself.

turnyourankle December 22 2009, 20:06:03 UTC

i really wouldn't bother cleaning them up. the babylon cap is good for qaf/babylon. sometimes cleanup however well intended is counterproductive for graphics and stuff...in my experience, at least. this is also why i don't like qaf caps, most of them out there have been "fixed" to death.

amelialourdes December 22 2009, 20:52:20 UTC

No, I agree! I'd never want to contrast or brighten the hell out of it. But, the only reason that I got these looking as bright as they are is because I used PowerDVD. Now that that program is a little messed up, VLC would be my only option and they're considerably darker than the ones that I used for my website. Wah, wah, wah. :|
