OK, I guess it is my turn to have a post “eaten” by the forum! I am sorry, but last night’s reply went missing.
Ron, I am kind of curious what was the scale value you used for applying the glitters in your Keesler layout? It seems incredibly larger than when others used them. On your Mardi Gras layout, I wonder what settings were used for the shadows on the individual. If you look carefully at the corners, it shows that the shadow seems “detached” from the actual paper/photo.
Paul, I find it very interesting how you changed the shape of the images from rectangular to oval. Did you happen to try the pinking edges somewhere?
Laurie, it is great that you are asking yourself questions about the shadows. In fact, transparent objects won’t have a shadow as it would be created by something blocking the light. If it is completely transparent, no light is stopped. If it is partially transparent, it would be a different story. Your trick of deselecting is a good one. That has happened to me too before to try to apply a command and nothing seemed to show.
Peter, Sue offered some answers to your questions. I am glad that you are putting some of those tutorials to good use to troubleshoot issues. That is a great approach to take. In your second posting of your assignment 2, did you squish those flowers?? If you want to resize, you have to be careful to use the Pick tool set to Scale mode AND to only use a corner handle, in order to keep the proportions.
Anne, glad to see your final project after you worked so much on it. If i could offer a suggestion, I would double-check the layering. The text would be unlikely to sit on top of the firework, as it would be too thick to write on. In addition, there is one drop/bead just to the bottom of the paper (where the title is). Maybe putting that element on top of the paper would make more sense.
Fran, great way to showcase this time flying! Good shadows too. For your file issue, are you reopening a .pspimage file? Those tend to be quite large and it can take more time.
José, I agree with you that most picture tubes should be without shadows so users could rotate them as needed and add the proper shadows. You picked the right tubes with the matching shadow!
Anita, I am looking forward to seeing that pinking edge on other projects. Once you know the “trick”, you can use it differently too!
Ann, glad to see you add something from the membership. Such a subtle detail, but very interesting to have that curved photo in the middle.
Wendy, did you write the title yourself or was it a wordart? If you wrote it, what font was it? It is an interesting one.
Sue, that is such an interesting way to place the frame to slip it under the photo on one side. You might start a trend!
