Love the fountain shot. Are you going to keep the 50?

Thanks. Yeah.

Your page is set up with Gallery, right? What theme is that you're using?

Not sure. It's just the first unboxing I've seen in the wild. (Via Engadget)

Thanks! If I recall correctly it is Lightroom selenium tone right out of the box.

It's obvious what you were going for and it works great, preset or not.

Is that a Fairlane?

I am using the PG theme, which (along with a bunch of others) can be found here

Okay. Next question is how to get those themes up on my gallery site. Doesn't look as if I can just upload it to my server. But then again, the instructions look half Greek.

I've found another theme that I'm okay with for now (Siriux), but I'd like some more control over its color pack.

Okay...here's a question for the Photoshop guru's in here:

Is there a way in PS to take correct the distortion in an image that's introduced by a fisheye lens?

EDIT: I've just tried a plug-in called PTLens. It takes out the distortion, but it makes the edges of the image very fuzzy with a lot of artifacts when it does. AND it only works on jpg images for some reason.

I'm trying to remember how I did it, but if I remember correctly, I unzipped on my local machine, then copied the theme files to the proper remote folders (just copied all the contents of the local modules folder to the remote modules folder, etc.) Once the files where copied, you then have to "install" the theme by going to the site admin select Plug-ins, scroll down to themes and click the install option (I think that is how it goes).

Filter -> Distort -> Lens Correction? Any correcting is going to degrade the edges a bit because you are going to have to stretch the edges of a fisheye quite a bit to get it into a rectilinear shape

Wow. That theme has a lot of CRAP in it that needs to be changed around in order to get it personalized.

I don't even know where to begin, and even if I did, my html skills are minimal. That one isn't for me.
