Day 13

So this weeks theme is Photoshop....well I've only had PSE 6 for a couple of weeks and I am really just learning....Here is my attempt at a before and after......I just played around until I made some changes. I really am not sure what all I did but have a look, I'm not too happy with the edges, I thought when I erased them it would take away the corners, guess I was wrong, still got plenty of learning to do with PSE 6.

Before


After

Yup just keep practicing! Eventually you figure a lot out by trial and error and most definitely fellow peas!

This has a nice feel to it.

Stacey said...

Looks very cool! I agree with you about the border, I think I prefer it without it, but I am so new to this as well, so I'm afraid I'm not much help!

Playing around is a great way to learn! You've got a nice vintage look there!

I like the way your daughter is posing against the fence, and looking slightly away. . . really lends itself to the kind of editing you did--the grungy look. Experimenting with Elements is a great way to learn, and especially checking out some of the tutorials on the 2peas site.

For someone who jsut played around, I am awfully inspired :) Thanks for your comment on my before and afters, I could definatly take some pointers from you :)

I llke what you've done here.. I think I would also try to do something with the distracting red/white stripes - maybe burn them a little and see how that goes?
