I set up a flickr account last night and played with the website FD's Flickr Toys a little bit also. I see more immediate use for the Flickr Toys, and you can use them (without having a flickr account )to create cool handouts, business cards, fake magazine covers, artsy photos, etc. The tools are very easy to use and just apply the effect for you. Flickr itself would take a little more getting used to. But the other interesting thing about it is the sharing part. Like all these other tools, you can network with others who have posted photographs. There are all sorts of "photo groups" on different themes(like there is one for libraries!) I also just noticed an ad for Google Photo, too, which is new. I haven't checked that out yet, but I am guessing they are doing the same thing--providing a place for photos and groups. Plenty to explore! We just ordered the new version so that is great to know it has those features!!

At the Adobe workshop, I learned Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 which I believe you purchased for the library recently. If you bought 4.0, they told me to tell you to contact your sales rep about getting the upgrade to 5.0. I created a flash animation web gallery that lets you turn pages like a book in about 4 minutes. Very cool stuff out there. No more PowerPoint in the classroom for showing pictures....please. I beg you all!! ha ha I seriously am not trying to post on each blog comment but this is all good stuff.
