Internet Explorer ShortcutsWritten by Rick Yost
Internet Explorer is most useful free browser on net. Here are a few Explorer tips I find useful. To search for a particular word or phrase on a web page just press CTRL + F to open Find dialog. Hold down shift key when you click a link to have it open in a new window. If you know you're coming back to same page, a new window is faster to open and close than backtracking pages. Hit Backspace key on your keyboard to go back a page, or press ALT + Left Arrow. ALT + Right Arrow goes forward a page, and ALT + Home take you to your home page. Hit Spacebar to jump down page one screen length. Hold shift key down as you press Spacebar to jump UP page. Use Up and Down Arrows to scroll slower. In IE 5.5, in most cases you can just type "domain_Name.com" instead of typing "www" first. IE knows to search for it on web. Works for most sites, but a few can't be found without www - that's a server issue, not an IE issue. CTRL + O opens dialog to type in a web address. Press F11 key to open your browser into full screen mode. Press it again to leave full screen mode. Right-click tool bar and select Auto-hide. This hides tool bar for true full screen surfing. To use hidden tool bar, just move your mouse to top edge of screen. Move your mouse away and it disappears again. You can do this with your taskbar too, by clicking Start button, pointing to settings, and clicking Taskbar & Start Menu. Then place a check by Autohide feature and click Apply.

Colorize Black and White Photographs, Enhance Digital and Standard Photographs- The Easiest Image Enhancement Software Available. Put Colour back into Your Pictures BlackMagic may be used to colorize Black & White, Sepia, or IR (infrared) photos, or to color-correct ones with faded or inappropriate colours. Being extremely simple to use, its a software that transcends age and professional boundaries, providing an immense sense of achievement, pride and satisfaction for kids and adults alike. The resulting colorized photos have optimally saturated and consistent, correct hues - giving appearance as if photo had originally been 'shot' in c olour! BlackMagic delivers such professional grade results with minimum of fuss, and just a few minutes worth of effort.BlackMagic incorporates "TimeBrush™ RLC [Real-Life-Colour]™" standard. The TimeBrush RLC technology was specifically created for colourizing black & white motion pictures of Hollywood fame. This feature provides BlackMagic ability to render superb, rich, vibrant looking colours, that are not under/ over saturated, yet look completely natural. Colourizing Photos - ISSUES Colourizing black & white photos can get quite involving, depending upon quality and sophistication of results desired. The process involved can be very tedious and challenging, taking a day [often several] to completely colourize a single black & white photograph to professional grade quality. The typical 'paint' computer programs usually require operator to select individual hue [colour], opacity [transparency], etc., for colouring a specific portion of photo. This is further compounded by need to 'guess' right hue/ saturation values to colour a certain object, which can take several hit-and-trial iterations, with no guarantee of a 'best' match.
