    EXIF reader for Chrome

    ChatGPT Action Figures

    I jumped on the bandwagon to create an action figure of myself. This was the first result it created. Although I tried to go in and make a few changes (all of these tend to yield rather chonky bodies), it completely changed the face/hair and wound up with a less desirable action figure. The...

    Creating graphics with Photoshop

    I'm interested in learning how to create graphics in Photoshop. Photoshop has a few vector tools such as the text tool and the pen tool. My reason for purchasing Affinity Designer 2 is to pick up anything I might not be able to do in Photoshop. This is just the beginning of my journey, but it's...
