Lorem ipsum is a basic way of saying "This is filler". It's been used for years to test web design, printing, ect.
It doesn't mean anything. |

If I understood correctly the thing was there were real words stuck in between the typical Lorem Ipsum spiel.

MacLorem is a program that generates "Lorem Ipsum" text. It has nothing to do with interpreting existing text or pulling text out of images. I'm afraid, romance, that, either your mom's friend doesn't know what he's doing with that particular program, or he's just pulling your leg.
This is not significant. |

Exactly, and some word generators even splash a few English words in the middle of the Latin.  Actually, some English words are actually Latin, as well.
Oh, and it's very late, and I'm also working, so I hope that all made sense.

Hi Something else that may be of help. In PSP, and probably other graphics programs, you can use "brushes" to kind of stamp images over images.
When we were still trying to break the poem, someone posted an image where they had marked out where the lorem ipsum pattern started repeated; they drew the lines. The conclusion I drew from that image and my modest experience with PSP was that it was a brush, used over the image to further obscure the poem.
But wow! Nice use of resources!

| As mentioned above, lorem ispsum is simply what page layout, publishers, etc use to fill a bank age to display what their font, layout, and other aspects will preform like under a real world text delievery. It's good for many reasons, but mainly because it balances out well and has a lot of necessary features. Nice work though. |

I am going to have to agree with you. I have PSP9 and I have downloaded all kinds of crazy brushes.... actually i have a bible page brush.... thats irrelevent.... but i do think it is a brush, which also could mean that the holy bible picture was a tube or brush. I know of 3 programs that use brushes.
am fairly new to PSP...is there a way to remove brushed layers? j/w |
