write an action in photoshop. it's really easy, the help section gives good instructions, and once it's done, it's done. that really speeds things up. what i do is i geve all images a white border that's way too big, then crop as needed, so i can have the same inmage, without cropping it, for all ratios.


Thanks!

And I'd be very surprised if kids who are getting a luxury car for their first car are buying it themselves. It's their parents who are buying the car, & the parents are not first-time buyers. That's my $.02.

Doesnt have to be a Luxury car to cost 25 to 32,000 dollars lol. Its mostly parent s but you also have to account for the 25 year old that looks 19 that bought himself a Lexus IS350. But about all the 12th grades driving EVO 8's, VW R32's, Infinity G35 Sport Coupe's and crap... that bothered me during and after and now lol.

I spent my senior year of highschool parking my 1980 chevy malibu (my greatgrandmothers car) between a 2001 mustang and a 2000 hummer. Poverty rules.

The parents were the ones paying, but the kids are definitely buying.

FWIW, I drove a 1973 Datsun B210 hatchback, which in addition to being horribly underpowered, was quite possibly the ugliest car ever produced and that was before the paint oxidized.

I don't live in a world where 12th-graders are buying luxury cars. I kinda wish I did! But I would probably not be able to find any common ground between me & such a kid. They are old before their time. I have this wonderful vision of 'home alone' driving an Escalade...& sitting on a pillow so he can see over the dashboard. "D
