Face Zoom Tutorial Thing from the Archives

So way back in 2010 I did a picture on Flickr to help people understand how to properly zoom in on their faces.  I found the picture and thought it would still be helpful for some so I will post it here.  The picture is HORRIBLE, lmao, but it's old and I have learned a lot since then.  Bad picture or not, the tutorial aspect of it is still valid so here you go!

Original Flickr text:
"Not sure if anyone will see this, lol, but here is a helpful hint when taking close face shots:
If you use alt + arrow keys to zoom in you will get a "fish eye" effect that makes your face look longer than it should. It is often better to use ctrl + 0 to zoom in close. Ctrl +9 brings you back to neutral and ctrl + 8 brings you farther out. Hope that helps someone!"

Celebrate the Season with KaTink!

The Holiday Season is fast upon us, and for many in SL, this means getting a little

bit stressed out trying to find the perfect setting to take photographs for ourselves

or to hand out to our friend's as little gifts.

Luckily, for me, I know of the store KaTink, and their amazing selections 

of backgrounds, poses, props, and anything else one would need

for the perfect holiday (and everyday) photos!

Also, KaTink has one of the best groups in all of SL!  Why? Because they offer not only

group discounts of up for 50% off all New Release purchases, but they also offer monthly

 Group Gifts! KaTink Group Gifts can easily picked up in the store- 

when you are ready to get them so, you won't miss out on them 

due to capped messages! Bonus! 

Group members also receive little gifts that are passed out in the group, as well. 

(Like past Group Gift of the Facial Expression HUD that I used 

for the smiles in my photos below!)

Here is just a taste of one of the fantastic Group Gifts that KaTink has on offer this month-

Christmas Cards Background Pack 2. 

This 10 pack of backgrounds has scenery that ranges from beautiful and serene, 

to whimsical and fun, to warm and inviting.

Use them to make cards with, to take blog photos with, or to give the perfect touch to those

end-of-the-year friends photo's!
