Abusing Adobe Lightroom

So adobe came out with a great product.  A product that can take any pictures you have and make them look good.  I work as a military photographer and have been using this product to increase my photo's qualities.

Here is the original photo.

Our studio is small.  We did not have enough room or lights to light all three people.  From the orange square you can tell that our photo studio, is only a one person studio. 

Now here is the edited version.

As you can tell a drastic change from the original.  The lighting looks better everything just looks better.  This is all thanks to Light room.

Now for what the photo is used for.  Here is the poster that brought the photo on.  Thanks to Adobe Photoshop I could cut them out and do some changes.  I had to shift the woman on the right over to make them fit in the purple square.

Thank you for listening to my rant about how great Lightroom is.  I highly recommended it.  Here are the products I used to create this poster.

Applying for the God of War

I had a little down time at work.  I am very happy how this came out.  I was testing multiplying, overlay and normal settings.  Each character has a layer for those colors.  Than after I was done with them I put an multiply texture on top to give it a grunge feel.  I hope you enjoy and I had fun with Kali and Wrinkle the White Knight

My issue with the Xbox 360 Fifa 12 hack

I am a very laid back guy and do not ask for trouble.... but trouble always finds a way.

Over a week ago I was introduced to the Fifa 2012 hack.  Within a fast period my account was hacked, charged over $125 and I was locked out.  Many thoughts ran through mind.  Frustration that this even happened, that it was through my live account, that I don't have access to my save data and all my Microsoft devices were messed up.  This includes my phone, my zune and of course my console.  As soon as I found out I called xbox 360 customer support.  They actually worked very well for me.  They locked my account and started the recovery process.  After I got off the phone I cancelled my credit card, just in case that was stolen.  Within three days they had my account back in my hands and I had access to everything.  (Except for access to my live account on my phone.  That is just a bad design flaw).  Now this is where it gets weird.  My account was in my hands, but it had the same name in the email as the one that stole, but it was to a different @ location.  There was already a second email attached to it that I did not own.  This freaked me out.  I quickly got on the phone and xbox customer support helped me.  everything was secured and I haven't had problems since knock on wood.

I still would like a more official statement as to why this is happening.  There are two coincidences I can't ignore, the hack happened a few hours after I put Microsoft points on my account and the whole second email being attached.  This feels like an inside job more and more.  I wish there was also more security measures were in place.  I would pay to have a usb dongle that would recover my live account, reset my password and that way I know I could always keep it safe.   This is just a rant more frustrated that he was bothered by a stupid scam than anything else.  I will say it sounds like I am an exception though to what has happend.  Most are locked out for 30 days or more.  I hope that others that go through this are lucky like me and recover it fast.
