Most people are way too critical of their own photographs and they tend to compare their photos to top professionals. Even my 91 year old Mom does this. I want everyone to stop this. Did you hear me? Stop being so critical of your own work. Back off, relax and enjoy your photography.

Kelby says on the cover that his book is the step-by-step secret to make your photos look like the pros! His description is pretty accurate. While this book will help, you still need the vision to pull off great photos.

So on to try out TypeIt4Me. TypeIt4Me is a System Preference Pane like TextExpander, while Texter and RapdioWrite are standalone applications. TypeIt4Me has two panes, the left pane lets you enter new clippings, while the right pane shows you the results of the clipping. TypeIt4Me does one thing I don’t think the other apps can do – it lets you specify what apps your shortcut works in. Let’s say you need your signature in email but that same set of characters happens to be a standing command in another app, then you wouldn’t want it globablly available to you. Just a simple click on the App symbol and you can choose the app to which you want to associate your shortcut. there’s also some options to change the behavior in specific applications. If you’re a true addict this could get really fun – and complicated to remember!
