Hi and welcome!!   All the graphics on this page were created by me using my favorite graphics program, Paint Shop Pro. You can download a trial version of Paint Shop Pro here: Corel.  PSP is great for photo editing, (removing red eye and unwanted people or things from photos plus much more), drawing, adding horns to your childs school photo or fangs to your ex; your imagination is your limit!

A great resource for help with Paint Shop Pro is the PSP user forum at Corel. If you need to know anything, you can always find help there. Just point your newsreader to cnews.corel.com and subscribe to the groups that interest you.   The Paint Shop Pro Usenet Newsgroup is another resource for help.

About the links:

I have been using Paint Shop Pro since version 5 and even though I have the retail version that includes the manual, I have learned more by following tutorials on the web and reading the Paint Shop Pro newsgroup. I have put these links on my page to make it easier for myself and others, especially those new to Paint Shop Pro to find. Most of the links listed under "graphics" have tutorials, tubes, and Blade-Pro presets. Others lead to plug-ins and brushes.

The remaining links are categorized as follows: Clip art, Fonts, Wavs, mIRC, Cooking, AOL members only and Misc. The Misc section will link you to picture tubes that I've created. You will also find a links to my galleries and something to entertain you if you're bored..Chimpwarp. In this section I've also included links to Terraserver, Urban Legends & Folklore, and the Freesite, which has... well, that's self explanatory ;-)

Attention AOL users:   If any of the graphics you see on this page are blurry in any way, it's because AOL's default is to automatically compress graphics - frequently to oblivion!  To turn this off, go to settings, preferences, www. Then click on the graphics tab and uncheck the box that says to compress graphics. Clear your cache then go surf and enjoy the view!

Michelles Tubes   Here are some tubes that I have created using PSP and various other 3-D programs. Here you will find a white picket fence, wood fence, gold stars, tubie grass, pumpkin people, 3D cherries, 3D olives, 3D hearts, lego blocks, strawberries, chex cereal, baseballs, sportsballs (football and soccer ball), a basketball, wooden barrel tubes and more.

Michelles Fractal and Abstract Gallery   NEW This new gallery has fractals and abstracts which were all post-processed with Paint Shop Pro. I really enjoyed creating these images.

A visit to N.A.S.A.   Some photos of a trip my family took to N.A.S.A. a few years ago where we had the pleasure of meeting Ron Vick who personally showed us around, taught us a lot of interesting things and was the perfect host. We had a wonderful time!

Jones Beach Flooding   On September 6, 2003 we went to Jones Beach to check out the surf which was unusually high because of hurricane Fabian that struck Bermuda. Here you will find photos of the water, which decided to invade the beach and pitch & putt golf course. My shoes are still drying out!

Chimpwarp!   Meet my friend Mr. Chimp. You can click and drag on his picture and rearrange his face to your hearts content. You have to have a java-enabled browser to be able to view this page. Have fun!

Text Examples   This is a gallery of text effects that I've created with Paint Shop Pro.

Gallery   A thumbnail gallery of a few pictures I created with PSP, Bryce, and various other programs. Come on in!

Urban Legends & Folklore   This is a very interesting site. Check it out before you forward email hoaxes that have been going around for years (such as the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe and the Walt Disney hoax) Get the facts here!

The Freesite.com   This site has lots of links to free things, go look!

Terraserver   This site is amazing! You can find an aerial view of most places in the world. I found one of my house! The pictures are taken by satellite and you can get close enough to tell which house is yours.

Well, that's it for now, you made it to the end of the page. I hope you found something useful or interesting here. Please take a moment to sign my guestbook before you leave and come back soon!      Michelle  :-)
