Thanks guys for the explanation. The reason I asked is that I'm thinking to do that on my friend's photos. I know he'd kill me when he learns his photos are floating in the internet. There are only two people that I don't want to incur the ire of -- my friend's and Lauren's (not necessarily in that order)
. Unfortunately I don't own a computer, much less photoshop. Now I'm having second thoughts about uploading his pics. He said he had more to send me.
Anyways, here are some interesting reads about Robert Kearns I stumbled upon. Sorry if these have been already posted. I didn't have time to review past posts. Apparently he had 6 children. In the movie he's got 5. Maybe the youngest was born much later after the court battles have settled.
