I always use a simple sentence/question to start with, when I am in a expat-party.
Wow... it has to be cool going back home, hasn't it? What is the first thing you are going to do once back at home?
With this... you let them pick the topic, they will speak a while and you only have to "aham, really?, no way..." from time to time.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

There's lots to be thankful for, just think of things at the individual rather than abstract level. For one, you are able to drink. That Stephen Hawking isn't in your house being Mr. Negative.

There are 99 little bugs sitting in the code,

Tried Google, no clear path to what I'm seeking; same with Bing.
My Sharp AQUOS Crystal[^] (an Android phone) has a camera. I have been approximately astounded at the quality that thing can produce.
To further astonish me, they have included some fantastic photo editing software.
My problem: I can't find a software package which provides the same editing features which this phone provides. (i.e., something I can put on a desktop windows PC)
I am seeking a package which will...
- Change color to B/W (easy to find)
- Alter general contrast (easy to find)
- Provide the "graduated" function which my Android has (no can find)
That "graduated" function is a bright-to-dark software enhancement which is on a three line array with three dots, arranged within an "H" pattern. Sorry if that's a nebulous description; it's the best I can do to try to describe it in words.
If anyone has this phone, and understands what I'm trying to describe here, and knows where I can find a windows desktop photo editing package which has this function, I thank you for pointing me to it.
The various questions I asked Google led me to a lot related hits, but not the exact function I am trying to find.

What does the function do?
Based on the vague description, I'm guessing it's something like "curves" or "levels", which are included in most photo editing software - eg: Paint.NET[^] or GIMP[^].

I am very unfamiliar with the nomenclature, so my ability to accurately place the concept into words is greatly hindered (translation: I'm not smart enough to tell you)
I have Paint.Net on my machine, and I couldn't find the function.
I'll try this way: I spent 20 minutes on the Gimp website, and I found THIS PICTURE[^] which shows an area of the board which is "in a shadow"
That is a close approximation of what the "graduated" function on the phone does.
In the case of the phone, however, the function invokes a "gradient of brightness" (a phrase I just made up, because I don't know what I'm talking about) from one area of the photograph to the other area.
These two "Areas" can be one side and the other side, or the top and bottom, or one corner to the opposite corner, or along whatever line you choose to define.
If you are old enough to remember this old TV show, this video clip from THE EDGE OF NIGHT[^] has a couple of crude (50 to 60 year old technology) depictions; the first during the first 6 seconds, and the second around 01:20 into the clip; of what I'm trying to describe.
In the case of the phone's software, that is the elementary function in question; a light to dark change, but with a smooth gradient from the light to the dark zones, and not a sharp line.
