Learning something New.

I followed a tutorial posted by Reka at http://www.photoshopcreativeelements.com/
Please feel free to check it out. We practiced making lightning. The tutorial is under the Title, "Get Technical with CS". It can be worked in Photoshop or Elements.

Here are my before and after images. Hopefully it opens a door for you. Everything is not always as it appears. Try and look at your pictures and let your imagination soar!

Answering questions & another mask

If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal. Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder. Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to m...

I have been busy working on Christmas card templates and paper packages. I am in the process of opening a small shop that will cater to limited commercial/personal use products. It will be strictly off my blog and the links will be sent to you directly within a 24 hour time frame. All freebies will now be given away at "The Shop" So take a sneak peak and be one of the first to subscribe by e-mail or to your reader. You do have a reader don't you? It is such fun! Mine is with Google. I will admit, it is not much to look at yet but the first thing to go up will be a freebie. Hope to see you as a subscriber soon. All freebie links will remain up for only 24 hours. So subscribers will rule!! =) Here is a peak at the front of one of the cards. I would love some feedback! Does this appeal to you?
