On America's next top Model, a show on TV, they take pictures of average girls and make them look amazing with effects you would find in high profile product adds.

Does anyone know where i can find something that can teach me how to do effects like that.

I was wondering if it is possible to enlarge a photo someome took with a polaroid camera many years ago? I'm making a very special pictureframe for my husband who's just getting back from Iraq, and i know this photo means the world to him, and i wanna do this for him as a small welcome home gesture., So i would work really hard and spend good money if anyone could just tell me how to get an elargement?
Thanks.

I just can't seem to take things easy... I started taking up art because I like the idea of creating my own figures and am excited at the thought of making them beautiful like all those other artists draw them.

But every time I pick up a pencil and hunch over a sheet of drawing paper I start to get nervous... Every time I draw, I'm always erasing my lines. I spend several minutes drawing the same line over and over and over again.

My artist friends keep telling me that I'm being too hard on myself, that I shouldn't expect things to look perfect at my level, that I can't expect to improve overnight, yada yada. Nothing they tell me helps, their advice just doesn't sink into my subconscious and I continue to fret and fuss over my drawings to the point where I yell at myself and break pencils.

How can I train my mind to just accept making mistakes? I've always been trained to make things perfect so that obviously doesn't help me. What can I do to calm myself down?

I'm interested in learning some basics about telephoto camera lenses. I was expexting to see the magnification described as 2x, 3x etc., but instead I saw an ad that said "Magnification: (65 to 600mm)", I don't know what that means.

I am thinking about buying a digital camera that also does movies, and a lens for photographing wildlife. I would like to do extreme closeups from 50-100 feet away. After researching, I would like to take a chance on ebay and get the most zoom for the buck. General 'newbie' tips appreciated.

Yesterday I was messing around with paint and I got a big blob of red acrylic paint on my light blue jacket, it looks pretty bad and I really love this jacket, does anyone have any ideas for getting it off?! It's dry by now, but i was hoping someone would have a solution.

I love sculpting, though I don't get to do it too often. What kind of clay would you recommend for a hard, smooth finish?
