Handy Hoarwall

Sometimes, what begins as a joke ends up as a good workout in Photoshop and begets another image into the bargain.

So, without further ado:

I never did get the above image quite right; it's a work in progress, but I am pleased with the "test" image created in trying to work things out.

And on we go.

Happy Halloween

Sheared Peony

Actually sheared, cropped, lassoed, unsharpened, and a few other things!

Type Mask for a Gnome

My Photoshop projects are quite random - months of diligently working through the book from start to finish wasn't very productive; I was bored and kept seeing things ahead that looked like more fun than what was in the current chapter.

So, when a fellow blogger offhandedly said to make something for her, I had today's project. (Check out her blog.)

A Steep Learning Curve

I have been concentrating on working with Photoshop and have decided to do something new each day, when possible. For too long, I have been poking around here and there in the program, but at that rate it would take several lifetimes to learn much of anything. With each new command or pull-down menu, I am totally amazed by what is possible!

 The photo is an experiment with brushes, mostly (and some frustrating attempts at fixing a boo-boo!). The image was taken on the road from Kamloops to Sun Peaks BC.

Fun with Fall Photos
