Here is a nice shot of Tami in the Rose Gardens. I decided to use a fairly aggressive editing approach for this shot.
Now for a word on Microsoft. The studio had a major wrench thrown into the works Wednesday. I made the mistake of turning the Microsoft automatic updates "on". According to Microsoft this would keep our system "protected". Well, not so much.
Service pack III turns out to be a nightmare! It ended up deleting important registry files. In short this wonderful addition crashed our system in the worst possible manner. After a day on the phone with Dell, it turns out the damage is so severe that the only possible fix was a reformatting of the hard drive. In essence, we lost everything on our hard drive. We even called in a local computer whizz who confirmed the diagnosis. So I spent a entire day reinstalling software, not the most productive use of my time.
On the bright side. Our back up system for out client images proved invaluable. We did not lose a single client image! We back up our data to both an external hard drive as well as dvd just for a worst case scenario like this.
The lessons here are: Always back up your data & don't use auto updates!
