How to Customize Your Facebook Timeline

Your Facebook Profile, or Timeline, is the online representation of who you are. Most likely, you have online profiles for various websites. Facebook Timelines tend to be a little more comprehensive and dynamic.While you're getting started, Facebook asks for only a little bit of Profile Information. Facebook asks for this bio because this is the information that will help your friends find you.There are five fields that Facebook asks for. You can fill out all or none of them, but it's recommended that you fill them all out:High School: Enter the high school you attended. If you attended more than one high school, pick just one to enter now; you'll be able to add the rest of them later.College/University: If you attended college, enter your school. If you attended more than one school, either because you transferred or because you also attended a graduate program, just pick one school for now. You'll be able to add the rest later.Employer: Enter the name of the company you work for. For now, enter wherever you're currently working or where you worked most recently. You'll be able to enter a full work history later on.Current City: Enter the city where you currently reside.Hometown: Enter the place you identify as your hometown. That may be the place you were born or the place you moved to when you were 10 years old. It's up to you.You may notice that as you type the name of your high school or college, a list of names appears below the field where you're typing. Get used to seeing these autocomplete menus around Facebook. As you type, Facebook tries to guess the rest of the word you're typing. When you see what you're looking for, use the arrow keys to highlight the correct match and press Enter.Next to each field is a globe icon with an upside-down triangle next to it, shown next to this paragraph. This is one version of the Privacy Menu that appears throughout Facebook. Also known as the Audience Selector, you can click this icon to change who can see the information you just entered.Privacy on Facebook is important. And complex. For now, decide who can see each of these items. So, for example, if you're choosing privacy for your High School, you would click the globe icon to open the privacy menu and select from the following options:Public or Everyone: Anyone who visits your Timeline can see where you went to high school. Additionally, anyone who searches for People Who Went to<High School Name> will see you in the search results.Friends: Only people you add as friends will be able to see where you went to high school.Only Me: Only you will be able to see where you went to high school. A friend visiting your Timeline won't see this information.Custom: A specific set of people you choose will or will not be able to see where you went to high school. This option doesn't usually become very useful until people have responded to your Friend Requests.Lists (Close Friends and Family):Facebook tries to help you sort your friends into categories such as Close Friends or Family. You can choose to allow only people in those lists to see where you went to high school. Much like Custom, this option may not be very useful at this time.If you don't want to share this information publicly, simply click the globe icon and select with whom you do want to share it. Each privacy setting has its own icon to represent it, so if you choose Friends, the globe icon will be replaced by the icon of two silhouettes.Because these are the fields that help friends find you, it's recommended that you leave them set to Public. Especially if you have a common name, having some biographical details makes it easier for friends to find and identify you. But if you aren't comfortable with that, you of course can change the privacy setting. Privacy settings aren't set in stone; you can always adjust them later.When you're done filling out these fields, click the blue Save & Continue button to move on to the next step.Sometimes Facebook will use the information you just entered to show you some people it thinks you may know. In that case, after you finish Step 2, but before you get to Step 3, you may see an Add People You Know screen. This screen displays the name and photos of people you may want to add as friends.Click the Add Friend button next to the images of people you know and want to add as friends. You can also choose to skip that part of the step using the Skip link (next to the Save & Continue button).<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGDOljJTSpe5yoE0FYhyphenhyphenqTNsi7boiDiNT6fgwcgJMkjZvlYySofjuUlRu7nMhpXFZgMHnbxg4f4-DeDg_hu8hQuev1_d74psxPV4g0OwOeJO6s2jpL8M0bjGUTrHbz7Gv-j_R1HC-lM8tL/s1600/IMG_20140116_190825.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGDOljJTSpe5yoE0FYhyphenhyphenqTNsi7boiDiNT6fgwcgJMkjZvlYySofjuUlRu7nMhpXFZgMHnbxg4f4-DeDg_hu8hQuev1_d74psxPV4g0OwOeJO6s2jpL8M0bjGUTrHbz7Gv-j_R1HC-lM8tL/s640/IMG_20140116_190825.jpg"> </a> </div>

Getting the Red Out without Eyedrops

Red eye occurs when the subject of a picture looks directly into the flash, and the unfortunate result is that eerie reddish luminescence in the eyes that says, "Not only didn't I get any sleep last night, but I'm also auditioning for the remake of Michael Jackson'sThriller video." The flash bouncing off the blood vessels in the retina and right back into the camera's lens causes the red-eye effect. You'll see red eye most often in pictures taken in dim light because the pupils are at their largest in low-light conditions. You may also see red eye if you're using a camera with a flash that's very close to the camera's lens (thereby making it easier for the light to bounce straight back into the lens). The best way to fix red eye is to avoid it completely. That usually means getting a flash camera that can work around it: Many cameras have a red-eye prevention mode. Usually, this mode triggers a quick, bright preflash just before the actual picture is taken. The preflash causes the subjects' irises to contract, making their pupils smaller when the second flash (that is, the real flash) goes off.Some cameras mount the flash high or to one side of the lens. This simple trick also minimizes the chance of red eye. However, these preventive measures are of little solace when you have a great picture that features bright red pupils as its most dominating feature. Here's a quick way to paint out red eye and restore your image to a less zombielike look: 1. Open the original photo with red eye showing. 2. Select the pupil of one of the eyes. An easy way to avoid changing the color of more than the red part of the eye is by painting the selection by using the Quick Mask tool. 3. Double-click the Quick Mask icon in the Tool palette. The Quick Mask Options dialog box appears. Make sure that the Selected Areas option is selected. This tells Photoshop that the area you're painting should be considered a selection. 4. Double-click the Color preview box to produce the Color Picker dialog box. Choose a bright green color as the mask color. Photoshop uses a red hue by default that would make it difficult to see what part of the image you've already painted, so using a contrasting color eliminates this problem. 5. Click OK to dismiss the Color Picker dialog box, and then click OK to close the Quick Mask Options dialog box and begin painting a mask. 6. Choose a fuzzy-edged brush from the Brushes palette and paint around one iris. 7. Press Q to exit Quick Mask mode. Only the pupil of the eye is selected, so you can paint without fear of covering up any other parts of the eye. 8. Choose Select --> Save Selection and store the pupil selection. Give it a name, such as "Last Iris." You can reuse the pupil selection later if you accidentally deselect the area while working. 9. Select the Brush tool and choose a small fuzzy-edged brush. 10. In the Options bar, choose Hard Light as the blending mode from the Mode drop-down list. 11. Choose a color that matches the iris color but is quite a bit darker. Pupils are ordinarily much darker than the iris that surrounds them. l2. Paint over the pupil. You may notice that two catchlights (reflections of light sources such as windows or the flash that made the picture) on the eye, which is unnatural. Of course, having no catchlight at all is even more unnatural! Cover the extraneous left catchlight in each pupil, but try not to obscure the main, right catchlight. If you must paint over one of the main catchlights to remove the red-eye effect, use some white paint to insert a new one.www.digitalsankalp.org

Drawing with the Pencil Tool in Photoshop Elements 4

Drawing with the Pencil tool in Photoshop Elements 4 creates hard edges. You can't get the soft, feathery edges that you can with the Brush tool. In fact, the edges of a pencil stroke can't even be anti-aliased (where edges are softened). So keep in mind that if you draw anything other than vertical or horizontal lines, your lines will have some jaggies when viewed up close. But hey, don't diss the Pencil just yet. Those hard-edged strokes can be perfect for Web graphics. And what's more, the Pencil tool has the ability to erase itself, and it's great for digital sketches, as shown in Figure 1. <img src="http://media.wiley.com/assets/1020/79/0-471-77483-9_1204.jpg"> Figure 1: The Pencil tool can be used for digital drawings. The awkwardness of trying to draw with a mouse disappears if you use a pressure-sensitive digital drawing tablet — the Pencil tool will behave much more like a real lead pencil. Follow these steps to become familiar with the Pencil tool: 1. Select the Pencil tool from the Tools palette. You can also press the N key. By default, the Pencil tool's brush tip is the 1-pixel brush. (Yes, even though the Pencil tip is hard-edged, it's still referred to as a brush.) 2. On the Options bar, choose your desired pencil options, beginning with a brush preset. 3. Click the arrow and select your desired brush from the Brush Preset Picker drop-down palette. To load another preset library, click the Brushes menu at the top of the palette. Remember, you aren't limited to the standard old brush strokes. Check out the Assorted and Special Effects brushes. You'll be surprised at some of the interesting brushes lurking in these palettes. Use them to create stand-alone images or to enhance your photographic creations. Access the pop-up menu on the drop-down palette to save, rename, or delete individual brushes and also save, load, and reset brush libraries. 4. Choose your brush size. A preset brush's pixel diameters are shown as text below a thumbnail image of the brush shape. If you want to change the size of that brush tip, drag the slider or enter a value. 5. Select a blending mode. 6. If you want the background to show through your strokes, adjust the Opacity by dragging the slider or entering an opacity percentage less than 100 percent. The lower the percentage, the more the background images show through. Your strokes must be on a separate layer above your images for you to be able to adjust the opacity and blend modes after you've drawn them. 7. Select Auto Erase if you want to enable that option. This option removes portions of your pencil strokes. 8. Click and drag with the mouse to create your freeform lines. To draw straight lines, click at a starting point, release the mouse button, and then Shift+click at a second point.

Trekking through Web Design Tips

<h1 style="font-size:20px;margin:0.25rem 0px;padding:0px 0px 0.5rem;border-width:0px 0px 1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(204,204,204);color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> </h1> The majority of Flash movies end up on Web sites. To help ensure that your Web site is as attractive and useful as possible, consider these pearls of wisdom, some of which apply to all Web sites and others are specific to those sites using Flash movies. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Set your goal</h2> A general principle of Web design is to know why you have a Web site. Write out one main goal and perhaps one or two secondary goals. For example, the main goal of your site may be to sell used music CDs. A secondary goal may be to provide viewers with music reviews so that they can decide which CDs they want to buy. Avoid putting material on your site that doesn't help you reach your goal. How does your Flash movie help you attain your Web site's goal? Perhaps your movie displays the covers of your most widely sold CDs and plays some of the music, giving viewers an instant understanding of your site's purpose. On the other hand, if your Flash movie just displays an animated logo, it may even distract viewers from the important features of your home page. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Keep pages clean and clear</h2> Unlike television, the Web is an interactive medium. Viewers need to understand the purpose of your site and how to navigate it. Clutter and complex structures are counterproductive. You can use Flash to create a simple, compelling navigational system. But you must be careful when mixing and matching HTML and Flash elements in order to avoid confusion. Let all your buttons look similar — don't create five different shapes and colors of Flash buttons just because you can. By default, the Flash HTML file loops your files. Looped short animations tend to look like the animated GIFs we all know and hate . . . and ignore. Avoid looped animation unless you have a good reason for it, especially if it moves across the Web page in a banner. Viewers may assume it's advertising. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Don't overwhelm viewers with color</h2> Too many colors create a chaotic impression. While your Web site doesn't have to be dull, you don't want it to be overwhelming either. Of course, there's nothing wrong with full-color photographs or graphics, but use a maximum of three colors for the background, text, and navigational aids. Most of your Web content is probably text, which viewers expect to be mostly in one font and one color. Navigational aids, such as buttons and links, should be the same color throughout your site. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Use fewer than four fonts</h2> To create a Web page design with maximum coherence and impact, you should probably restrict your page design to two or three fonts at most. It makes visual sense to use one font for the body of your text and one font for the headlines. You could perhaps use a third font for a logo or for some other special item, but this may look best if it has some kind of strong visual harmony with the other fonts you are using. Use four fonts and people may start to think that you're designing a ransom note, not a Web page. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Be consistent</h2> Each page on your site should have the same logo. Certain links should go on each page (such as a link to your home page) and be in the same place on each page. If you have other links, such as Search, E-mail, and so on, these should also be consistent throughout your site. Text color, fonts, hyperlinks, backgrounds, buttons, and so on should all be consistent to avoid confusion and error. If you're combining HTML and Flash content, use consistent fonts and colors for both. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">KISS</h2> As you may know, KISS stands forKeep It Simple, Stupid. Sketch out the map of your site and make sure the lines of navigation are short and simple. Don't use long explanations when a short one will do. Don't use lots of images when one will suffice. Your Flash movies should also be as simple as possible. Animation goes by fast. If too many objects are moving at once, viewers don't know where to focus their attention. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Know who's watching and how</h2> Many Web site hosts provide you with information on the browsers (including which version) and the resolutions used by your viewers. You may not be able to cater to everything out there, but you should try to create a Web site that the vast majority of people can see. Many sites that use Flash offer a non-Flash alternative rather than force viewers without the Flash Player to download it. The non-Flash alternative has non-animated graphics in place of the Flash movie. Remember that viewers on a screen with 640 x 480 resolution can see a lot less than viewers on screens with a higher resolution. Those with lower resolution may miss important parts of your Web page and Flash animation. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Support the Flash Player</h2> You can choose to publish an HTML file that detects whether the Flash Player is installed on the viewer's computer. If not, it displays an image file. (You need to publish to one of the image formats at the same time for this to work.) The default HTML text doesn't check for the Flash player, but it includes the location to download the player. In some situations, the Flash Player will download automatically when not available or a window will pop up offering the viewer the chance to download it. Many sites include a button that says, Can't see the animation? Download the Flash Player here, or something to that effect.
