LOL - I should avoid colloquialisms. To "fire up" is slag meaning to start something or to use something. I assume it stems from the steam engine era where you had to literally light a fire and let it burn a while before the steam engine would run. So, "fire up the fax machine and send this announcement to every sales rep in the country!" is a slightly more colorful way of saying "fax this out to everyone". You can google "fire up" for examples. (Note - "fire up" also means to be be excited, aroused, or angered - as in "He was all fired up about the change in his health insurance." It also refers to igniting combustible material with the intent of inhaling the resulting smoke and vapors, as in "He fired up a Marlborough.") So... I will fire up (start) the healing brush tool (retouching aid in Photoshop) to touch up the dust specs on those pictures. (Though inserting a flaming brush into the *ist-d might be more fun.) - MCC -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo, Michigan www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
