A collage of today's autumn colors -

This was made with Google's Picasa, and if you don't already have it, you should get it. It's a very handy 'freebie' from Google, and it works just fine for cataloguing all the pictures on your computer, and then letting you do some nice things with them. It has some basic editing features, as well as provisions for creating these collages, or for uploading pictures to web albums, or emailing them to friends, family and etc. 

One of Picasa's editing features that I really like is its ability to straighten images taken with the camera on a tilt to its horizon. There's a grid superimposed over the image to be edited, and then a simple slider button will adjust the image relative to the grid lines, until you're happy with it. Gunnar and the guys at Picasa deserve a big thanks for this one.

And if you don't like black for a background in the above example, no problem - you can pick whatever makes you giggle from a complete color chart. Do yourself a favor - get Picasa and have fun with your pictures!
