Here's some my slightly digitally adjusted images of Der Chimp & Co.

That was some clever and funny stuff, Marv!! LOL!! You are obviously
working with an advanced knowledge of photo manipulation...and a total
package program. I've got a learning curve to negotiate, and I need
better software. Any recommendations? What was the easiest program to
learn? The cheapest?

Dr. Bipolar :))

Thank you Doctor!

My fav is 'Giddy Up' with Condi riding George bareback ... I even
pixelated her nipples to keep it from being too offensive. Next would
be Grandpa Rummie with George Munster.

I was shocked to see the Oil Queen's boobs so very massive. She must be
strappin' 'em down extra tight under her leather duds! I bet it's a
hard change of roles for the Chimp to be on his knees, and she, off
her's. Her knee pads must've gone totally out at some point. But, I
knew she'd eventually become his dominatrix. As you know, most of her
wardrobe consists of black leather, much of it silver studded...when
she used to ride on her Chevron oil tanker, the Condoleeza (now
renamed), crew members would occasionally see her on the bow during a
full moon in a skin-tight black leather top and pants, spread-eagled,
twirling and snapping an 8-ft. bull whip over her head. She was a
spirited seafarer in those days! :))

I'm using Photoshop. But until I took a college evening program for
learning it -- I was lost. Instead I used Paint Shop Pro, which I
taught myself how to use. It has pretty much all the features of
Photoshop (masking, layers, and a great set of 'filters' or effects).
Photoshop's exspensive but Paint Shop Pro is typically $99 USD (or $150
CDN).

I've downloaded the trial verson before and became so perplexed and
frustrated, I gave up on it. I think I need a simplified photo program,
but the half-***** ones, like Photoimpression, can't do more than a few
tricks. There seems to be no answer except to endure a long learning
curve...

For 'FREE' you can use The Gimp -- it's open source has as many of the
features that Photoshop has but the learning curve might be a bugger.
For both Paint Shop Pro and The Gimp there's a ton of online help,
forums, and usenet groups.

For an example of what 'FREE' can do here's a shot of Sophia Loren (who
I honestly believe is/was the hottest woman to walk the face of the
Earth) which I colourized.

Well, she was hot, I agree, especially earlier in her long eye-poppin'
film presence. I'm sure you've seen Loren in The Boy Dolphin. Italian
tomatoes are exceptionally sexy but they seem to 'wilt' in their
beauty faster than, let's say, Scandinavian gals. Look how long Ingrid
Bergman's beauty held up! Maybe it's all the pasta, salt, and
cholesterol, I don't know.

The background was replaced too by masking around her. Neat stuff.

Yeow! 8-) Amaaaazzzzing...thank you for you help.

Have fun!
