Help. Quick (and easy for most) question. I am so math "challenged" and want to make sure I am doing something right. If I have something that is 24x24 and I want it to print at 29x29 and then 30x30, what percent do I print for each of those?

TIA!!

NEW QUESTION:

Anyone know what photoshop (full version) can do that elements can't? I've only ever worked with photoshop, so I have no idea what elements' limitations are. Thanks if anyone knows or if anyone knows of any sites that may address this kind of information.

Another New Question: Where's Mocha?

I was reading about vampire shows and it made me think of Mocha. I realized I've not seen her post in a long time and hope everything is ok with her. Anyone know?

TIA

Julie I use Photoshop, but I have version 7. I used to have another version (CS3), newer, but I had so many issues with it conflicting with my computer, that I uninstalled it. My daughter uses just the elements and she claims it does a lot of the same things the regular program does. I have the copy here of elements, with the info on it. I know it's far cheaper than full PS.

IMO, and I could be wrong, PS Elements would be fine for your basic needs. If you are a graphic designer, than you would need the full program.

Thanks for the info Smokey. It is for my mom. I have full p-shop, but she is getting tired of asking me to make her teeth whiter and get rid of redeye, etc. She wants to do this herself. She knows a few other things, like using glaussian blur, feathering, increasing/decreasing saturation. Just wondering how whittled down elements is.

Mocha has left the building. She is still out there in cyberspace like on FB, but she has left TVCH.

Julie, I think elements would work fine for her. My daughter has Elements 6. She was used to my regular Photoshop and said this version is good for her needs.

Sorry to hear that about Mocha! Do you know her facebook address?

Next week I am co-hosting a baby shower and I have to make 40 of the little diaper pins, you know the ones where you put a squirt of mustard inside one to resemble a messy diaper and the person who has the messy diaper gets a prize. Well, I can't seem to find a site that shows you how to make the suckers! Anyone know how to make the baby diaper pins or know of a good site to try? My Google skills must have rusted over the summer because I am not having any luck with my search terms. TIA!

I have not heard of a diaper pin with mustard inside it??? Maybe a diaper, but I don't get the pin part. Can you explain this one a bit more?

I know of a game where you melt a different kind of fun size candy bars in different diapers and the guests guess which candy bar is in which diaper...

You make a tiny diaper out of cloth and each guest gets one to wear as a pin/brooch. One diaper is soiled and that one wins a prize.

I've been thinking about it and I think if I just cut white cloth into triangles, I can fold the triangles into diapers.

I found an image. I think I'm good now, I solved it in my head, but thanks for answering. :-)



From more searching, I see that I can also use napkins apparently.

Have a contest and the guests have to smell each other and see if they can guess who's got the poop!!

What's the going rate for kid-sitting these days? I sat my boss' kid today for a few hours, and while I didn't accept any payment for it, if it becomes anything more than once in a blue moon I definitely will. I used to make something stupid, like $3/hr, years ago.

I want to say close to minimum wage but I could be wrong about that, Karen. I very rarely pay a babysitter (do a kid swap with my sister) but when I do it's usually the neighbor girls and I'll pay them a flat fee, say $20 for 2 hours. But, it's pretty rare I do that, it's usually only for Dakota, and almost always in the evening (when I'd pay a bit more for it.)

I did my babysitting mostly in the mid to late 80's and early 90's and made $5 an hour most the time. And I was cpr and first aid certified (mom insisted) and mostly babysat for the drs and nurses from the hospital she worked at!
