I know this is going to sound selfish, but I cannot help it?

Feb 20, 2006 by dennissyr | Posted in Hair

My Lady works in DC and has ash blonde hair which reaches her shoulder blades. It is soft and beautiful in spite of the fact that the color is L'Oreal. She is 62 and I love her with all my heart.

So, what is the problem?

She has recently been saying that she is thinking of cutting her hair to a short style more conducive to business image requirements she feels DC dictates.

I love this woman, but would be lying if I said her cutting her hair short would not break my heart. I avoid discussing it with her as she always gets defensive, insisting that I should love her regardless of hair length. I have tried to tell her that I am not saying our relationship is dependant on her hairstyle.........I will never leave her.........BUT........I would be a liar if I denied that her ignoring my love of her long hair would hurt me deeply.

Am I just being selfish? I really need your advice. Should I resign myself to the inevitable or are there ways to convince to leave it long?

I don't think it's selfish... it's just what you prefer. You are not saying you would love her any less if she were to cut her hair, rather you are simply saying you prefer it long.

I have really long hair and my husband doesn't hide the fact that he prefers my hair long. I know if I were to cut my hair that my husband would still love me just as much ane find me just as beautiful. However, I value his opinion and would never cut my hair.

In the same respect... he knows that I prefer his hair to be very short and for him to always be clean-shaven. So he does that for me.

Talk about it with her and tell her how you feel. The best policy is to always be honest and most certainly to always communicate with your partner.

Soft Proofing Isn't Hard - Photo Tips @ Earthbound Light

Soft Proofing Isn't Hard

A friend once told me that one of the best things about digital photography is being able to make your own prints at home, and that one of the worst things about digital photography is trying to get those homemade prints to look the way they're supposed to. You print, you fiddle with the image, and you print again — over and over. There is a way out though, and it's called soft proofing.

The idea behind soft proofing is use your printer profile in a way to let you see on your monitor how an image will print, without actually printing it. If you haven't already figured it out, that means you need to have a printer profile specific to your printer model together with the type of paper you plan to print on. So long as you are printing on paper made by your printer manufacturer, the profile you need may well have come on the driver CD included with your printer or at least be available for download from their website. Epson has been providing ICC profiles for their photo printers for years and Canon and HP have since started doing likewise. If you don't have the needed profile, you'll need to get one from somewhere, either by making your own with a package such as X-Rite's Color Munki , or from third-party profile services such as Cathy's Profiles .

You'll also need a profile for your monitor . Unless you've profiled your monitor, there's no way you can tell if it's displaying your images accurately as determined by the RGB color numbers contained within the image. Those numbers mean something specific, and it is up to your monitor profile to make sure they get displayed correctly. Even if an image looks good on your un-profiled monitor, you can't really tell if that's how it really looks. All you can tell is that the colors in your image plus the adjustments on your monitor together look good. It's entirely possible to take an image with bad color and teak a monitor to improve how it looks, but the image itself won't have changed as a result. The monitor screen is essentially a filter that you view your images through and that filter can impart all sorts of color shifts without your being aware. So long as things look good on your screen, you can be fooled into believing your image is properly adjusted but such is not necessarily the case.
