Create a letter size document (11x8. 5 inches) and change the document color mode to CMYK. You can do this by going to file > document color mode > CMYK Color. Add color swatches such as red, pink, green, yellow and dark yellow. Keep in mind that you can also choose your own colors. Written below are some combinations of the colors used on the tutorial. Red: C=0, M=67, Y=50, K=0; Pink: C=0, M=31, Y=37, K=0; Green: C=59, M=0, Y=33, K=0; Yellow: C=0, M=0, Y=51, K=0; Dark Yellow: C=0, M=7, Y=66, K=0....

Don’t be afraid to experiment! Paint. NET has a nice undo function that will quickly restore your photo to its original size (plus, you have that backup copy).

The survey, which was published by the Rating Group on Sunday, found that 93 percent of the 1,000 Ukrainians contacted “believe that Ukraine will be able to repel Russia’s attack.” “Confidence in victory prevails in all the regions of the country,” the Rating Group, which describes itself as a non-governmental, independent sociological research organization, wrote in a breakdown of the poll. Forty-seven percent of those surveyed said they hope Ukraine will win the war in the coming weeks, while 23 percent believe the conflict will continue for several months....

Robert Thomas, 93, was taken into custody and charged after the incident on January 2, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department said in a news release. Police responded to the Vista Del Valle apartment complex in West Viking Road after receiving a call about a man armed with a handgun at around 9.10 a.m. Thomas had gone to the complex’s management office that morning and began making threats because he was upset about the water damage and flooding in his apartment, Assistant Sheriff Brett Zimmerman said at a news conference on Monday....

While good monetary policy and crisis management have helped global equity markets bounce back from 9-11, we’re only just beginning to see the negative effects of the attacks on trade flows, global productivity levels and global economic growth. Six months after the disaster, the S&P 500 was actually up 15 percent from levels immediately after the attacks. Global tourism is also recovering, and despite the fact that 9-11 was the biggest single event ever for the insurance industry, no major insurance firm has gone into bankruptcy....

For the past decade and a half, former Pentagon intelligence analyst and operative Col. (retired) Lawrence (Larry) Franklin and his wife Patricia have lived in utter destitution. During his 35 years of service, Col. Franklin was celebrated as a brilliant, fearless intelligence officer by his colleagues and bosses at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), in the U.S. Air Force and in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Now, the aging hero who saved countless U....

PATEL: Why did you start writing? HAMID: As a kid, I was a dreamer. I “read” atlases and almanacs, copied out maps and wrote imaginary histories. Later, in the States, I wrote because I missed home. Why is there so much history in “Moth Smoke”? A reference to Mughal history is integral to my plot, and it offers enjoyment at a deeper level. In 17th-century India, the Emperor Shahjahan’s eldest son, Darashikoh, a cosmopolitan, wine-drinking poet, was heir to the throne....

In a word–a candid word–it’s because he’s white. As a recent hit movie pointed out, white men can’t jump-and they’re slow, too. Since leaping ability and speed are critical requisites for NBA stardom, virtually every white college star enters the league suspect. Even Larry Bird had his doubters. “The white-guy rap will never stop,” says Laettner. “And I don’t really mind that.” The 6-foot-11 Laettner may have more than his share of detractors because his college statistics mirrored those of his former Duke teammate Danny Ferry....

Why Music Can Soothe The Savage Breast Senior Editor Sharon Begley is an expert at turning the latest scientific breakthrough into English, but she can’t carry a tune. “I’m a musical dunce,” Begley admits. Despite the handicap, she managed to produce a startling story about music and the brain. Scientists now believe the brain is hard-wired for music and that some forms of intelligence are enhanced by it. In other words, our response to Cole Porter or Bruce Springsteen may be predetermined by biology....

Wall Street is notoriously short-term oriented, so it’s appropriate that investors ho-hummed the cloning news. After all, it will likely be five to 10 years, a lifetime for Wall Street, before any practical, or profitable, applications spring out of the development. To be sure, the stock of tiny PPL Therapeutics rose 65 percent, but most other biotech stocks barely budged. Yet the Scottish advance adds tantalizing promise to the race to engineer animals that could produce drugs for an array of human health problems....

Kincaid has never asked for sympathy-not since 1988 when she wrote her wonderful furnace-blast about the miserable state of her native Antigua, “A Small Place.” By then, her rage about colonialism had come to a head, and she’d left behind the relative quaintness of her first novel, “Annie John.” But Kineaid is too enamored of her characters’ hard hearts. Xuela’s so unlikable and remote you feel as if you’re looking at her through the wrong end of a telescope....

Rome hasn’t seen such a spectacle since the pope’s own inaugural. Although Escriva, who died in 1975, is still one step away from canonization– official sainthood–Opus Dei has enlisted the Vatican’s leading cardinals to preside at 23 masses, thanking God in 12 languages for the life and example of Escriva. Altogether, the five-day extravaganza will confirm what most people at the Vatican have long suspected: Opus Dei, under John Paul, has become the most influential-and feared-organization in the central administration of the Roman Catholic Church....

No kidding. The former Boise State running back who scored a two-point conversion on the iconic Statue of Liberty play in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma has never watched the game. MORE: The most unforgettable games of 2016 He might see the game on a television when he walks into a store this time of year. That legendary 43-42 victory against the Sooners on Jan. 1, 2007, which capped a 13-0 season for the Broncos means something else to him 10 years later....

That spring only about 20 percent of the usual number of monarchs made their way north. Last summer, monarch sightings in the United States and Canada were below the norm. When the scientists went back in December to see how many of the butterflies had returned, they were afraid of what they would find. They climbed to the mountaintops, ran their tape measures around the half-dozen or so monarch colonies and calculated how many insects were nesting in the trees....

Chan Marshall, 31, the singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist and pretty much sole member of Cat Power, may be the most effective anti-performer around. Her quiet, plain-Jane alto is always fading to a whisper, her instrumental skills are beginner-level functional, her song structures are simple, her tempos dirgelike. She won a cult following in the mid-’90s with her postpunk debut album, “Dear Sir,” released on Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley’s label; a less small cult following with the minimalist 1998 “Moonpix” and the equally spare and moody “The Covers” in 2000–with well-chosen songs by Dylan, the Stones and the regrettably obscure Michael Hurley....

This is embarrassing. But add to this comedy of false certainties the fact that 44 percent of Americans are confident that Jesus will return to Earth sometime in the next 50 years, and you will glimpse the terrible liability of this sort of thinking. Given the most common interpretation of Biblical prophecy, it is not an exaggeration to say that nearly half the American population is eagerly anticipating the end of the world....

Actually, there were two meets underway, one to decide who would represent the defending champion San Diego Yacht Club, the other to choose the foreign competitor. The U.S. match pitted a syndicate led by Dennis Conner, who, over the past decade, has twice won and once lost the cup itself, against a group led by Bill Koch, an amateur helmsman of enormous wealth who showed up with four different boats to test....

This is part of an ongoing shift in religious awareness, “a greening of faith,” that has been underway for some time. Christians’ understanding of the Biblical term “dominion” has evolved from our God-given right to dominate and exploit the Earth to our God-given responsibility to care for creation. Climate awareness now also suffuses the Hebrew shalom, the right order that allows all to flourish, and tikkun olam, repair of the world....

But I really go for deeper reasons: there is an annual tryst with the world that I must make, a reunion with Nature after the astonishing rebirth of the winter landscape. In addition to mushroom hunting, I go to enjoy the parkway, to see whether the shadbush is blooming, to find out whether the bloodroot has appeared and to note when the first trilhum lifts its white petals. I almost hold my breath for the rare sight of a showy pink orchid....

In first grade, I learned how to tell stories to get attention from my classmates. In middle school, I seized every chance to perform: sports, bands, writing, acting. I was addicted to connecting with audiences. I loved how their bodies stilled when I hooked their focus. I dreamed of a life entertaining. Adulthood crushed that dream. As a senior in college, I learned my value would soon be reduced to my LinkedIn title and salary....
