Yes it's possible with Pixelmator.
Online you'll find tutorials, probably for Photoshop, but Pixelmator will have the tools you need.
Essentially, you need to either - select what you want to keep, copy, and paste onto new background, or, paint a 'mask' over the picture to make invisible (transparent) what you don't want, and place a layer with the new desired background underneath so it shows through.

Music preferences are something that come and go, but at the time you posted your recommendation, you did like it. Personally, I think the post should stay simply because so much of music likes and dislikes are transitory in nature. It would be nice to edit the post and say you no longer like it, but I hardly see the point in deleting the post. Just my 2cents....

I have a G5 with OSX 10.3.7 and I'm having the worst time with it. It wasn't so bad before but for some reason now, the WMV3 Codec is appearing in almost every video I want to watch on my Macintosh. Usually it gave itself away when files have the "WMV" type attached, but lately the codec is masking itself into even my trusted AVI files.
I've tried every possible solution, I've tried Windows Media Player, VLC Player, MPLAYER, etc. I've even tried converting the WMV file type to something else but the programs on Macintosh can't do it. I tried calling Apple Support but they wanted $50.00 just for me to talk to somebody. Is there any way to play this type of file? What, am I going to have to run out and conform to a horrible PC because of it? It's bad enough Macro Media Flash Player is trash on the Macintosh, but if I can't even view movies....what's the point anymore of having Macintosh? God knows I love the thing but really, this is just annoying :(:mad:
You probably weren't aware that Flash files (.swf) can be played in QuickTime Player just like any other movie, were you?
Regarding Windows Media format...
1. Microsoft makes a version of Windows Media Player available for Mac users just because they're probably required by law/contract to do so.
2. Microsoft cripples the Mac version because they can, and because the part of Microsoft outside their Mac Business Unit wishes the Mac would just go away.
This is why I avoid Windows Media format like the plague. I avoid AVI for much the same reason - there's no easy way to know what codec the AVI uses. IMO, AVI is a stupid idea - having a container format that can use just about any codec is bound to cause confusion. The QuickTime MOV format, the RealPlayer format, and even the WMV format are better than AVI because you have a much better chance of being able to play the file assuming you have the latest version of the player.

Viewers actually started to side with Windows because of his lovable underdog persona. Attacking your competitor is a double-edge sword.
To be honest those ads didn't improve my faith in Apple or what I think of them - I just found them entertaining. The PC character was good with his dry sense of humor too, although the Mac character was a bit sickly.
What I find good is when companies poke fun at themselves. Fox does that TONS on The Simpsons.

Have you tried Brasso (or any such equivalent)?
It's a fine abrasive metal (but works fine on plastic) polishing compound, that should, with a little time and patience, polish out the scratches, I used it to buff out rather large scratches on the Apple logo on the side of an old Power Mac G3 years ago, and it works a treat, removed all traces of 1-2mm deep, 5cm long scratches and left the logo with an absolutely perfect shine.
Just make sure the plastic is of the coloured and not the painted type though, otherwise you'll just polish off the colour. ;)

I know those gestures, I have them enabled in my non-jailbroken iPad 2 on 4.3 GM. You enable them with Xcode, just as you did with the beta.
You're kidding! LOL [bangs head on desk] Why did I not think of that? So you should be able to enable them in Xcode on my jail broken 4.3 iPad.
Thanks mate, you're the best!

Yeah, you save petrol by using your AC, but that's only at higher speeds. At lower speeds, say under 60-70kph, or around 40 mph, it doesn't really matter if you use your AC or just open your windows. Don't bother opening your windows on the highway, though.

Originally posted by ftaok ... the dual-1.25ghz Macs will have G4s that are rated for 1.25ghz or higher.
Right. That's what I meant.
Any released chip (that isn't a new architecture, of course) is rated as high as it's rated. If the new chip is a G4 7455, or whatever the 1 GHz is now, it'll be rated at 1.25. That doesn't mean it's an OC'ed 1 GHz. It means it's a similar chip that is rated to run higher. Just like the 867 MHz vs. 1 GHz analogy made earlier.
Of course, there have been execptions to the rule. Usually with not-so-good results. (I'm surprised I haven't been flamed more for this).
Now whether or not it can truly take advantage of the DDR... that's another subject.

Apple founder Steve Jobs has lost an alarming amount of weight and is reportedly in his final days.
The computer genius behind the iPod, iPhone and iPad is stricken with pancreatic cancer and may have just six weeks to live.
Shocking new photos show Mr Jobs looking painfully frail and weak, with his jeans and dark top hanging loosely on his 6ft 2in, rail-thin body.

If I were in your position, I would chose the Mac. Now, choosing between a new Mac and a Wii...that's a bit tougher. :)
I don't know why but you reminded me that I really want a Mac Mini :(

I have windows 7 installed on my mac through Bootcamp. For some reason, every time I install VMware tools on the Virtual Machine it screws up the colour and resolution.
However, Windows runs fine when booted into, as well as when VMware tools isn't installed while running Windows through VMware...
I have tried reinstalling VMware on OSX as well as on windows and nothing seems to work. I have no idea what else I could try other than installing windows but obviously that's not something I want to have to do.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
Here's a screenshot of the issue:

As far as the font smoothing goes, it annoyed me at first, too. Everything looked so fuzzy. However, after a few months of using Macs, I've grown accustomed to it. Now, when I use a PC again, I can't believe how harsh and jagged Windows looks to me.
