Working with the new computer

Now that my PC has been upgraded, updated, and upthingummied, I'm trying it out on training wheels. NoKey took care to install the programs I need and that's lovely, because my day-to-day use of the PC is marginally affected.

He's also bought me a Bibble 5 Pro license, which is awesome. I'm still learning how to use it, but so far I'm loving it.

Using the program gave me a big scare today though. I opened up the pictures from last night's "Nieuwjaarsborrel" (drinkies for the new year) and saved a couple. Checked them in Gwenview and then the colours wer horribly green! Oh noes!
Well, let's check if there's any settings while I save, it could just be that.

I couldn't find anything at first so I did the smart thing and uploaded one to Flickr to see if it really was the photograph, or perhaps something else. The picture turned out just lovely on Flickr, so Bibble was showing me the correct colours. It couldn't be my monitor's settings, or everything would be as green as that. So guess what!? It's Gwenview! Making a mess of my lovely pictures, shame on it.



The left half is Bibble, the right half Gwenview. I just glued two screenshots together with the GIMP. Gwenview is messing up he colours! I'm not saying Bibble has got the right stuff, but Gwenview makes the picture look different than it actually is! I know that TL lighting is not my friend, but this is ridiculous!

Bad Gwenview. Now to fix it...this could get interesting!
To be honest, I never really liked Gwenview and preferred Kuickshow, but Gwenview is the default when clicking on a picture. Boo.

Magical bridges

Sometimes it takes a wardrobe to get into another world. Today it was the water that was on the ice.

Bridges house trolls, ogres or even deceased pets. You can 'shoot up' under the bridge, forget about your love, draw some blood, give your live away...and never have enough.

I think they can be quite magical.
