This evening I have been busy finishing up a newsletter for church tomorrow. Since the month concerned is February, hearts came in to play ....
** Note ** When I went in to tell Gary about this wonderful, fantastical feature - he said that I scare him ... So this might not be the most interesting thing in the world ...
... but I think it is!

There is a type of brush in Photoshop called a Dynamic Brush. It is one where you click and drag it and it does stuff other than what many brushes are used for and that is a click once - more like a rubber stamp than a brush in real life. So - with my heart brush, if I clicked once - I would get one heart - click and drag and I get a series of hearts.
So, I got to playing with a heart dynamic brush. I can change the hue (by setting the foreground and background different colors) and the hearts color changes randomly within some specified range of the foreground and background colors. I can change the jitter - and the position the heart is 'stamped' at varies randomly. I can change the spacing of the hearts and it does just what it sounds like: spreads out or compresses the spacing of the hearts.
So I was playing along - dragging my mouse around and about and making all sorts of lines of hearts. Here is a page where I played around changing the spacing for each line:
And all of a sudden, I thought "I have a pen ....".I realized that my control would be better so I got it out and held the tablet like a pad of paper and started playing. And to my amazement something happened to my hearts! Depending on how hard I pushed the pen to the pad, the size of the heart itself changed! THIS IS SO VERY COOL ...
... to me!
Maybe not so much for you ....

Very appropriate for us Hart's! I loved how you could change sizes and spacing - very cool. Tell Gary I'm impressed even if he is not.
That is very cool - and so appropriate for February.
