Love it!!!!! Seriously.........what program do you use and what is the technique called? I have Photoshop Elements 6.........can I do something this fancy with that???????? HELP!!!!! I want to steal some of your talent!!!!!!
Very nice. It feels instantly old and emotive. )
@taracotta7 - I have Elements 5 that I do all of my editing with until I can afford the CS3. =D I picked up a tip from ialsolovechocolate and found some free images on Flickr of old walls and distressed rock and then layered one of them with the photo above after I messed with the colors and made the photo blurry with the Gaussian Blur tool. I then lowered the distressed image's opacity to about 50%. I then used the Rectangular Marquee Tool with Feather set at 250px and cut out the middle of the that layer and made a new layer with it. I then dropped the opacity some more on just the middle so my picture was a little more visible. I did a few other minor tweeks but I think you get the idea. I don't know maybe not... Hope you could follow that! lol! Maybe we can sit with the laptop and I can show you more when you are here in KC.
Speeking of, that week sounds great! Call me to set up the details when you are ready... Can't wait!!
Ok you lost me!! I only have the very old version 2 (I guess it came with my old camera or something). I don't think I can upload actions into it, so I just play around with tools that I have. Haven't gotten anything like this yet....BTW I love all of the baby pictures lately. So cute!!
@allilaney - If you can, invest in the Adobe Photoshop Elements. You can download a full version trial at Adobe.com or you can buy it from Amazon with Free Shipping for $56 (after the mail-in rebate). I absolutely love this program. I should post more before and after pics so you can see what I'm doing with it. (Humm... I think I'll do that now with the above photo...) Stay tuned!
