GOOD MORNING! How are you? This morning I have been fighting with company after company. Don’t you just HATE it when they say “It’s all stated in your terms & conditions”? Fuck off. Nobody reads the terms & conditions anyway. Ahhhhhh. God I hate companies. I do. I swear. The other day I wanted to cancel my O2 (phone) contract as I’m leaving for Tokyo and won’t need it when I’m down there. So. I called them up and simply asked to cancel making it effective on the 23rd of August and got the following response:
– You need to cancel giving us at least 30 days notification.
Me: Well it’s the 5th of July today so that’s more then 30 days until I need the cancellation. Could you cancel this or do I have to speak to somebody else?
– Why are you leaving us? (he also expressed his sadness for me, his most valued customer leaving….blaahhhhhhhhh….what COMPLETE utter BULLSHIT!)
Me: Because I am going to Tokyo.
– When are you going to Tokyo? (Why the fuck do you need to know?)
Me: Mid August.
– Oh ok. I will cancel it for you then. Are you sure you don’t want to change over to pay as you go instead.
Me: (On the verge of bursting into flames) No.
Jeeeeeeeeeezus Christ! They could have made that SO much easier. But. NO! Not possible. Did I mention that I had to be transferred TWICE before this conversation occurred and explain what I wanted to do!! Argh! Insurance companies are the WORST though. BUT. I will have a rant at those another time. I believe I have made my point now!
Anyways. On to something more joyful! SHOES! ME LOVE SHOES! Seriously. I am obsessed with shoes. These are some of my favorite babies, however, I have more (Yes, I’m obsessed!)….
I believe my favorite pair of them ALL are my Dior feather heels. They are literally me in shoe: CC: Crazy & Chic. Anyways. Which ones are your favorite? Do any of you guys use Photoshop and then convert it into a JPEG format so that you can upload it to your WordPress blog? I do. And I find that it damages the quality severely, any ideas on how to fix that?

Wow! Love the Dior feather ones, but all of them… Wow.

Today, I’m liking the Topshop ones (toecap). Tomorrow, it might be one of the others as my shoe personality changes daily. That’s what I love about shoes. There is one for every mood.

OMG, I just died a little inside! What a magnificent collection! Louboutin, Les Trois Garrcons, Brian Atwood & Prada!!! Love Love Love!
Do I have to pick just one? You have an amazing shoe collection!
I’m surprised they didn’t offer you something on top for half the price LOL.
Brian Atwood and Louboutin (so classy).
I use Photoshop to earn a living so… You didn’t say what kind of file you are converting from, so I’ll assume a tiff or something lossless like that. If you simply convert the image to a jpeg and then upload it to WordPress, WordPress will try to reduce its size which introduces further compression. That’s what you are seeing.
So… resize the picture first and reset the ppi to 96, then convert it to jpeg. I resize my images to about 2000 ppi on the long side. Oh — in PS, on the bar go to image which brings you to drop down menu, then image size and re-set the size. Don’t forget to use bicubic sharpener. You’ll see that too. Hope that helps — Ray
Hi there. Thanks so much for your reply!! 🙂 I made this on a canvas which has a width of 529 – exactly matching the width of the photos I use here on the blog. The original format was a psd file and I simply converted it into a jpeg file when I saved. Any idea of why this happened? Also. What is a bicubic sharpener? X
Hi Guro, The canvas and the image size are two different numbers. I would work in the image size and leave the canvas alone. I’m thinking that if the width is 529 ppi in canvas the image itself is too small and WordPress is trying to fill their format without an uprezing which is making the images look a little soft and lacking proper contrast.
I would start with a bigger file coming directly from the camera, make whatever improvements or corrections you are making and then re-size it in images rather than canvas since it is the image size that matters. If you open a file in images, you will see a whole bunch of fill ins. That’s where you can resize the image. Bicubic sharpening is simply an algorithm that resizes and sharpens the pixels slight. — Ray
Haha… I just posted on my sneaker addiction! http://foodandwinehedonist.com/2012/07/10/my-sneaker-addiction/
They all look beautiful, but it’s hard to say without seeing them on a person. I’m gravitating towards the pairs of Prada and Blahnik. They look pretty simple from the front, but I’m assuming the heels look fabulous.
Yeah thefoodandwinehedonist is right. It´s hard to decide. I would prefer Manolo Blahnik for going out and Prada for business meetings. But that´s just my opinion. Anyway your shoes are fine.
But you should thing about storing your shoes at a darker place. The sun isn´t good for shoes. At least a friend of mine says so.
Hi there, I’m not storing them there. I just put them there to take photos! X
Ah O.K. 😉 Your shoes are gorgeous!
Have you superseded Imelda Marcos’ collection? 😉
Bloody Hell! And I get criticised for having too many pairs?!?!?! I mean. 2700 pairs of shoes? That’s ludicrous!
I wish I had your collection! Although my fiancé would kill me because I already have way too many pairs, but shoes are so hard not to buy!
I’ll go for the louboutin and the pradas so stylish and fashionable !
Wow loved your blog!! and this post!! im addicted to shoes too 😛

Ingrid

Thank you!! 🙂 X
Your blog is absolutely beautiful, and this puts my shoe rack to shame. Thanks so much for stopping by!
i am hating you a little right, dont take it to heart, its only because i am jealous. lol
greeeeaaaaaaaaatttttttt collection. i loves shoes as well!!! everybody does, (I think 🙂 )
I have one sister, two half sisters, mother, girlfriend and her sister… Therefore I learned that girls are mad about shoes… THERE IS NO TOO MUCH SHOES! And sometimes, they never, NEVER, try some of them… But they do have them still!
So true! X
