Titanic History Wednesday, January 14, 2026 |
| 1965 - 2nd class survivor Mrs Sylvia Mae Caldwell died of pneumonia in Normal, Illinois, USA at the age of 81.
1880 - 3rd class passenger Mr Karl Alfred Backström was born. 1957 - 3rd class survivor Miss Agnes Mccoy died in Brooklyn, New York, USA at the age of 74. Though the death certificate states heart attack, the family claims Agnes died during a burglary of her apartment. Foul play seems to be suggested because numerous bruises were found on her neck and face and by the fact that a coroners investigation was conducted. 1892 - 3rd class survivor Miss Anna Katherine Kelly was born to John Kelly and Ellen Flaherty in Cuilmullagh, County Mayo, Ireland. 1873 - 3rd class survivor Mrs Rhoda Mary 'Rosa' Abbott was born to Joseph Hunt and Sarah Green Hunt in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, UK. |

Guides
|
In September, I wrote about seamless frames, which included a crash course on guides. What else can guides do?
When making an image map, you can choose to break it apart instead of coding the edges. Use the guides to represent the edge of each area on your map. Go to View and make sure Lock to Guides is checked. Use the square Selection Tool on the different areas. Copy and paste each to its new document. Save them as separate files. Placing the images on the page put them in a table (or center them if that will work) according to the image shape.
When you scan images, they're not always exactly straight on the scanner. You don't want to cut out parts of the image like this:  But sometimes it's hard to gauge what's absolutely horizontal. Drag a guide onto the image approximately to the center of the edge. 
Select | All and go to Edit | Transform | Rotate. Turn the selection until the edge is parallel to the edge like this: 
Zoom in and drag guides to the edges of the image until there are four: 
Crop the center area and you are done. You've lost the bare minimum of the image. |
