This is my husband's niece and her newly acquired husband. I did not take this image, just adjusted some of the processing at her request.

Here is Sharon and Vaughan....

With my new blog set-up. Some people are not seeing the black background.
You should see a black background!!
If you do not... you probably need to clean out the cache on your browser.

  2. Choose the General tab.

  3. Under Browsing history, click Delete... .

  4. Next to "Temporary Internet Files", click Delete files... .

  5. Click Close, and then click OK to exit.

From the Tools menu, select Clear Private Data, and then check Cache. Click Clear Private Data Now.

  1. From the Safari menu, select Empty Cache... .

  2. When prompted, click Empty to confirm that you want to empty the cache.

Firefox 3 for Mac OS X

Please leave me a comment if you follow the directions and the black background still does not show. You may need to close your browser and reopen after clearing.
Hopefully this solves all of our problems and we can go forward with the freebies!!

Kimi, the new setup looks awesome. I see the black background but I haven't had problems with your blog since you started posting the changes. Love the photo mask frame. Can't wait to your freebies.

I see the black background with my Firefox also! It looks great!

I've been checking for the paper and frame files you gave the sneak peek for a while back. Can't wait to get them! I love your work and am excited that you are willing to share such great helps with us.
Thanks,
Terry

After digging around... it seems to be an IE XP issue. If you are using Vista. It seems to be fine.

I will keep looking. In the meantime... thing about moving over to Firefox. Most of the viruses and worms are written for IE. Firefox is much safer!!!

Do you mean the black floral background or is it supposed to be solid black?

I am using Vista. IE 8.0.

Also on the blog home page, instructions are hidden. Have to hold the mouse key down and move for instructions to show.

yes, it is a floral black background.

You will not see the words if you can't get the background to show. The words are white because the background is black. It you don't see the black background you can't see the words. :(

I'm using Firefox... I could see your background a few days ago when I was helping you and when you made your last post. But even after following your directions I still can't see the black background.
Help!

I kept reading comments... I use Vista and Firefox (like you can't imagine using anything else)... but no background.

I am off to bed. I think I have it back to where it was before I tried to fix it. ARK!!!

When I look using Firefox, I can see the black floral background now. If I look using IE, I still get a white background. :(

I have tried going into customizing and black is picked as my background color. This way it should still be readable in IE but it won't show black. I give up for the night. Will try again tomorrow.

Sorry!!!!

When I view your blog with IE XP I get a white background and with the same computer but Firefox it is black. I know you know this, but just letting you know it is IE XP on my end too.

I have Vista and IE7 and i can not see black. on my Iphone I see the black. I followed the directions and nothing changes. I can read by highlighting!

Strange that I saw it briefly and then it went back to a white background. I am confused by the floral black background. When I briefly saw the black background, it was solid black. Are you talking about the frame around the wedding photo?

No problems viewing it in Firefox, but with IE7 (and XP) all I see is the white BG, despite clearing the cache, & rebooting the computer:-(

Yes, Kimi's blog has been saved. I orginally thought I could only see white, I followed the IE7 directions, still white. But once I left the blog and came back in, ta, da, BLACK floral background. What a relief, the stress that I wouldn't be able to read or see your blog had me freakin'. Just curious why did this happen? Glad kimikreations is back!

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

The Terms Of Use state: YOU MAY NOT offer any of my designs on any web page for download or send them through an internet list or include them in any des ign /graphic collection on the internet or otherwise. Let's talk about using a photo mask. The coolest thing about this is, you can resize it any size you want. Start at the bottom. You will have your background paper. I have included the one shown. Then you will have your mask layer. (also included) Top will be your image. You will need to group your image to your mask. This can be done a number of ways. Let's talk about a couple. You can highlight your top image layer. Go to layer, create clipping mask. In Elements, it is Layer, group with previous. Or you can hold down your Alt key and click on the line separating the two layer and it will clip it together for you. Make your image the size you want it to be. Now go down and highlight the mask layer. Use Ctrl T to free- transfom. You can rotate it, you can make it wide
