I don't have kids, so I guess you will just have to put up with my boring ones!

These are really nice. For someone 'who doesn't do much photography', you sure have an eye for it!
The last one is a hoot!! The middle one is my favorite.

Yep Ivy - plenty of Holly to go with it at Christmas as well

My pictures loose quite a bit of definition when resized down to 450px - shame we can't go larger...

Does it matter how the photo becomes b/w? Can I take a photo in color and edit it into b/w or should I take the photo in b/w to begin with?

Lucky you!! At Christmas time we get...palm trees. In spring we get....palm trees. In summer and fall we get...(can you guess??)...YES! Palm Trees!! LOL!! I guess I shouldn't really complain. There is a reason everyone retires down here.
Personally, I'm ready to find a cabin, in the snow, on a mountain top somewhere!!

Nope it does not matter. Either way is fine.

Hi -

Yes, I joined the site just so I could do this I found it because of the mention on your blog, Criket.

I used your trick for resizing and using the sharpening mask - I used an older picture I had because it is very architectural with sharp lines and angles; it showed degradation quickly when I resized. I'm in love with this tool!

Since I found this at the proverbial 11th hour, I think I'll only have time for this one.
