OH NOES! WHAT THE HECK, LJ? (aka SisterRed muffed up again)

This morning I marked 5 comments in my inbox to be deleted - and LJ deleted 900.

???????????????????

Granted that solves my problem of having 900+ entries in my inbox but that wasn't what I wanted it to do! That 900 included some lovely recent PM's & conversation from y'all I'd been saving on purpose, birthday listings, how-to advice. In fact it deleted EVERYTHING except stuff I'd red flagged as "important" - about 21 comments.

(ok so maybe the fault isn't with LJ; maybe I clicked on a box that said "delete all" without paying proper attention. I am woman enough to admit it. albeit in small font.)

Damnity damnity damn damn it.

Oh thanks sweetie you are THE BEST! *hugs you* I really appreciate you doing this. And yes I do have a Mac. I'll take a look at those tutorials the first thing in the morning. because I have no experience with layers I just don't know where to begin.

How did you get that rose in the picture that you put over Buffy's face? Because you must have had 2 layers there, right?

Actually no, I went into Textures and the Own Textures option to chose the rose photo from my computer. I did the same thing with the Buffy/Spike images with a rose for debris4spike's bday gift, and also this:



I used the image of The First as Buffy from Sleeper as a "texture" behind the image of Buffy in Faith's dream. (I was just lucky I think that it aligned correctly.) It's no different to using a photo of a pattern inside a yogurt jar:


So using images as textures has been my way of "cheating" but it obviously has limits. For instance, if I want to do more than two images in a single picture, or I want to cut out part of an image.

I did see something on YouTube about being able to cut out part of an image, but I didn't try that. Do you want me to see what I can do with that?

My goodness if you're up for it sweetie I won't say no! You're a doll. *hugs*
