Attention film photographers...

Does anyone know the best way to wind used film back onto the spool if the camera is broken and won't do this itself? Can I just take it into a darkroom (ok, my closet) and wind it in manually?Alternatively... anyone have suggestions as to what might be wrong if the camera isn't winding? It's a regular SLR, nothing special, kinda old.

up f...

up for adoption! Two teensy boy mice, Bandit and Pearls, are looking for a home! They want to live together. They are cheap and easy to take care of. They are curious and smart. They will help you mastermind.Please AIM/e-mail me if you are in the western washington area and would like to discuss adoption!

Comet NEAT

COMET NEAT: Comet NEAT (C/2002 V1) is plunging toward the Sun. At closest approach on Feb. 18th its distance from our star will be only 0.1 AU--much closer than the planet Mercury. SOHO coronagraphs will record the encounter between Feb. 16th and 20th, so stay tuned! Meanwhile you can see the comet yourself. Look low and to the west after sunset. Comet NEAT is glowing like a fuzzy 5th magnitude star with a long delicate tail--an easy target for binoculars and small telescopes.(from spaceweather.com)Also see beautiful pictures of NEAT on today's astro pic of the day.I am definitely going to be watching out for this... hopefully we'll have some clear nights soon.

attention those with photoshop smarts

I'm using Photoshop 7. I've got a psd that I'm trying to turn into a gif with a transparent background for a webpage.The psd has four layers: two warped text layers, a regular image layer with glow added, and another image layer with no effects. They are all on a transparent background.I have been trying to turn the image into a gif by first merging visible layers, and then setting the color mode to indexed. At this point, photoshop asks if I wish to flatten all layers. Well, there is only one layer because I merged visible. If I click yes, it creates a white background.Why does photoshop think there are multiple layers, after I have flattened visible (and ALL the layers were visible when I do this)?I have tried copying the contents of each layer into new layers in a new file, but this still doesn't work.Any advice is much appreciated.
