Annie Tobin Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Well done with just a couple of photos DeLoris, admire your work. Hugs......Annie T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redradar Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Jan, I love your Australian bird pictures! They work perfectly with the Day 1 template. Sheila, your flower photos are beautiful and also work very well with the template. I'm glad I looked at the enlarged versions of your pages because the stitching on the photos is a very nice touch. My photos did not work so well with the layout, being more landscape-oriented, but I gave it a try anyway. Here's my contribution; this is my first double page. I learned a lot about masks with this project and became more comfortable using them. This is also the first time I have used a layout template. Thank you, Cassel, for the challenge!

Annette Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I have a question please. I am using PSP9...yes I know it is old but it is the one I love to use. Do these same steps work with that version? I am at a loss to find a pick tool. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Annette, most steps would be identical. The Pick tool is the same as the Raster Deform tool in PSP9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Thank you so much! I might try the trial version of the PSP 2018 just to see if I might like it. I really like the way it looks on your screen shots. The bigger icons would be kinder to my aging eyes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Annette, although PSP2018 does have the option of larger icons, I also set up my monitor to a very low resolution in order to display the program better for viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redradar Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 OK, here's my take on Day 2 of the challenge: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLoris Musick Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Day 2: This was a tough one because we are having thunderstorms and I have a huge sinus headache! I bought a cat tree for my Heidi and my 11 yr old grandson assembled it for me. Heidi loves her tree and sleeps in it most of the day. I love what everyone is doing and I keep looking forward to seeing your new pages.

Annie Tobin Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Well this is my second double take page. My theme is summer/winter. Enjoyed doing it the photos used were from my pc but originally snagged from the web. Hugs......Annie T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Wilson Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Finished my Day 1 Double Take page 2 with my Australian Bird Theme photos. I have so many photos I have taken over the years of birds I see and have seen around my area, I stuck to the most familiar first. Thanks for the comments. I have looked at your work too and everyone is individually unique - very enjoyable. For page two I have some baby Lorikeets who are so sweet when young, some Kookaburra young with a parent or Aunt, and a young Magpie, these babies are the racket makers when they beg for food from their parents.

Annie Tobin Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hi ... needing just a little help please. When I upload my image I have resized in psp down to 600 pixels as requested. This makes the image very small and not crystal clear. I have noticed that clicking on the link beside the pictures that others have posted it goes to another page where the images show up a beautiful size. Any tips for me with this as I have noticed that the text on my 2nd double take is barely recognizable. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Lingham Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 What wonderful work everyone is doing! I love your birds Jan, we don't get parrots in our garden, only a few Galahs, but we have been lucky enough to have a visit from a Wedgetailed Eagle and a Goshawk - unfortunately they don't hang around long enough for photos! Annie your flowers were beautiful. I struggled to think of something for this one, I have zoo photos but I didn't want to do the same as Cassel and the shape of the template was difficult for me. Then I remembered some of the interesting statues and other art work I have seen in my travels and came up with these 2 pages. I couldn't resist the "Loaded Dog" photo so changed the template to suit. The background colours were from the Snake Gully Emu, and I added a grass texture to the lighter one.

Cristina Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Each and everyone, you all made amazing layouts. I am very late and didn't start to do anything, but I am loving to see all these creative pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Tobin Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Oh aren't these just amazing Marlene, love your work and thanks for your comment on mine. This is a good challenge and I am having some fun with it. What will Cassel have for us tomorrow? :) Hugs......Annie T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Annie, are you resizing the whole double page to 600 pixels or each individual one? If you are putting both together, try resizing to 1200 pixels instead. Also, I find that sometimes, it gives better results to save a full-size copy in jpg format and resize that jpg image instead of the pspimage. And if it still does not seem to give a good result, add a little sharpness with Adjust > Sharpen > Sharpen. Remember that you are going from 7200 pixels to 600 pixels, so there are some lost details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Tobin Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Thanks Cassel. That is exactly what I was doing ... putting it all together in psp and then resizing to 600 pixels. I will resize to 1200 pixels for the next one and make sure it is properly sharpened. Loving the challenge, thank you. Hugs......Annie T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Claire Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hi, I registered yesterday. My theme will probably be my house pets over the years. Thanks Cassel ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 It has been a struggle for me to find both the time and the smarts to do this first page. I hope I send it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Hogg Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Some really great works of art going on here and all look fab. Here is my day 2. TFL. Sheila xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redradar Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Very nice, Sheila! I like your use of repeating elements; that also ties the two pages together. Here's my Day 3. I have a lot of landscape-oriented photos for this project so I had to try a slightly different layout for the second page, a horizontal picture mask instead of a vertical one. I also discovered that when I used a regular photo for the background it wasn't wide enough to cover both pages with my tweaked layout so after much experimenting I swapped out another background photo which was shot in panorama format instead. Now I had more options when adjusting the background to show the best parts of the photo in the negative space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
