Got a new version of Photoshop today and bought some textures to put on top of photos or 'paper' and various other things and thought I would post this dang picture since it took me so long to figure out how to give it texture and age it. Whew!
Luvin' It! What version did you get? I only have Photoshop Elements6 and would love love love a more advanced version! I know so many people who have the Creative Suite versions and can do so much with them. I like the texture you put on the picture... too cool!
I just got Photoshop Elements 7. I kept seeing something called CS2 but had no idea what it was! I am coming at this as a photographer rather than a scrapbooker I guess. I do like my picture with the texture on it. I didn't know until today they sold 'papers' that were like that. They are way fun.
On the bazillion websites I have found on digital scrapbooking they all have tutorials. I have been going through them learning all sorts of things.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!! i really want to learn to do digital scrapbooking! glad to hear that there are tutorials on the web! Steve has photoshop at work. I want to try it but my kids say its too hard for me and that I dont have enough basic comp skills for it. how much basic comp skills would you say you need? i suppose this is one of your pics! i love flower pics!
For digital scrapbooking you need basic computer skills, but there are pre-made 'pages' so you wouldn't need to know Photoshop, but where is the fun in that? As for Photoshop - to be honest - it was really hard for me to learn and I have a computer science degree! But I am also an idiot so you have to weigh the two. After figuring it out, now it seems straightforward, but before - well - I could not grasp layers. Now they seem easy - so I really don't know what to say. I have been using photoshop for years with my photography so I am used to it. You sort of use different things for scrapbooking.
Wow, you have been doing these things with Elements 7! That would be awesome if I could just upgrade to that! Well, it would be alot less expensive at least. I need to learn how to use it. Like you said it is complicated, but there are tons and tons of things you can do with it. I bought 6 and it seems like 7 came out the next week (always a step behind!) I want to learn layers, too. I am trying hard to work on my photography, which I haven't done a whole lot of lately, but I still love dabbling in it and playing in photoshop is fun, but learning all it can do would be even better! Maybe I can get all of my kids well and at school at the same time and I will be able to learn something, wink wink (it's been a bad week).
Y'all are welcome to come over here and I can show you what I know (which is not all of it by a long shot - but I just learned about brushes yesterday - SO COOL!). Just let me know.
Ohhhh, you just made me sooo happy! I learn so much better by "hands on" than trying to read a book... which I have come close to buying one on photoshop, but they look so blah and confusing and I end up putting them back on the shelf and walking away!... Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

And yes, it is my photo.
