Lynda, nice new additions! I like the black and white Negative Effect very much, and especially the Garden Film Strip. I haven't tried the tutorials, so I wonder if I, too, will have issues with the layered effect.

 

When I mentioned in my last comment papers and elements, I was referring to my process of creation:

 

First, I choose photos that will be compatible with the tutorials. In the last LAB, there was netting, so I decided to look for pictures at the beach. After that, I look for papers and elements in my stash that will fit the photos and layout; sometimes, just what I create with the tutorials is enough and doesn't need extra elements. But it is not every day that I am inspired, so it takes time. :D

 

Thanks for the tip, I like PixelScraper very much and have a few of their freebies. :)

This was for my gaming group today. I stumbled upon a technique that, for me, was new. I was originally going to use the illustration as a frame for a collage so I selected each of the separate fashion pics separately, inverted the selection, contracted it, moved to the illustration layer, and hit delete. When I moved the illustration to the top and added a drop shadow, I did not like the result at all. After playing around a bit, I lowered the opacity on the illustration layer and added a white background as the bottom layer. To my surprise, the result was that the individual pics looked like I had framed each of them. I added a little drop shadow to each fashion pic and was finally happy. Now I'm sure this result can be achieved using different techniques. However, since I had no idea what I was going to do, it turned out to be a happy accident for me. Sometimes you don't know where you're going until you get there.

Hi Christina,

 

Thanks for the tips on how to start a project. I have no such discipline. I just kinda sit at the computer , put a line on the paper, so to speak, and hope something comes into my head. No process what so ever. I will have to try your method.

 

Most if not all the stuff I make I have no idea what to do with them. My big thing is photography and with this virus we are not getting out much. A person can only take so many photos of their backyard before it becomes redundant.

 

I'm grateful for Carole's labs and lessons as it gives me something constructive to do and I actually learn all the little ins and outs of PSP.

 

Glad to see everyone's posts. Always something good to see.

A lot of really cool works, plenty of so different techniques. WOW!!!

 

I was curious about the selective focus that Carole mentioned last week and followed the link to the tutorial on the blog. So I had to play a little bit and used the radial selection tool for the picture here.

Hi Lynda, I hope my method for the lab tutorials works for you; but in the end, it is more important that you have fun doing something, with or without a method. :) And what you create, although you don't know what to do now, it is for sure an inspiration for others.

 

Michele, I agree with Bonnie; it is amazing how creative you are, having to come up with something new every day. As I mentioned before, I really like your choice for the illustrations, and you always come up with a great layout, like this one.

 

Libera, you achieved a very interesting effect with dramatic colors with this technique.

I used the Warp Brush effect to turn my sister's french bulldog into a moppet (big eyes and ears).  The eyes are 3x bigger than in real life.  I think it's cute this way - she doesn't :-)
