Welcome back to the cemetery, my lovelies! Today, your beloved Twisted Libra decided to move forward with an upgrade to the online portrait gallery. The previous version just held static images; you couldn’t enlarge, and they were not watermarked. I chose to set up a Google photo album and link it to the website. Easy peasy. Then I opened my Adobe Photo Express to add watermarks to my images. Guess which feature Adobe hasn’t added to the latest desktop version?
It should be there. It should work. It simply doesn’t. And apparently Adobe doesn’t know when they will have it functional. Their solution? Open each image in Adobe Express and add my own watermarks, editing the opacity and placement manually. This is painstakingly tedious. I managed to edit about fifteen images before I decided I can add more later. My current watermarks look like shit, but I am too overwhelmed at this point to revise them. That can be done later. If I try now, I might just rage quit the entire site and delete everything.
Suffice it to say, this did not go smoothly. However, I really want to improve my online presentation, so I will definitely be working on this more in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you have any feedback on the current state of the gallery, I welcome it. Also, if you or anyone you know can make a functional voodoo doll of whomever designed the current version of Photoshop Express, let a Libra know.
That’s all I have for today. Just a rant. I am going to go read for the rest of the day. If you need to add to your TBR, check out my books over on the Barnes and Noble site:
