COOL IDEAS
----------
* If you want an "away" image of you with a constantly
updated timestamp, snap a picture with no
overlays, then specify THAT file as the overlay
image with an opacity of 100%. This lets people
know that you are still active, just "away".
* Create a normal logo for yourself, and move it to a
corner and apply an opacity of 50% for a nice
effect.
* For many cameras, the REMOVE DUST filter improves
the picture quality. It will blur the image
slightly. To compensate, sharpen by around 50%.
* The Oil-Painting filter works much better when
used with the Remove Dust filter.
* To spice up a normal B&W camera, apply a Duotone
Filter with Black & Yellow as the colors for
and "Old Fashion Photo" effect.
* Try out the Colorize filter to really get a crazy
color palette.
* If you have any cool ideas for future features,
PLEASE email me thegeek@thegeek.com
