Fuzzed out faces and Silchester title applied to my collage of images from a recent walk around Silchester Roman wall, Hampshire, England.

Day 5 Love this effect. I have added it to another project but just need to fuzz their faces out before sharing. Font: Humnst777 Blk BT. Pink letters with Hatch Fine texture and green with Grain Long. In Layer Styles I added the bevel. I tried to use the repeat function when applying the texture to the letters but it didn't work. Just opened up a new canvas. Worth a try I guess.

Day 4 Swirled text around the name.

Day 3 I redid the text but on the final page may revert to former.

Thank you Cristina, Anne and Carole. It was the pixelated blanking out of the portraits I wanted so I will have a go for a design I wish to post. Thanks again.

Day 3 Text wrap around. This will probably be included on my graduation card. I made up the awful poem as you can tell!

Like the subject very much and like your artwork. Can you tell me how you make the fuzzing out for the discreet portrait photos please?

Day 2 I am going ahead with the idea of using some of the ideas and template in this workshop for my niece's graduation card so this is her name. I ended up making a selection of each letter and then changed the colours as I had already converted to a raster at that stage. I added an inner bevel.

I am using PSP2021 (not PSP2023) and had the problem with the character width on some fonts so the effect didn't work. I then tried out Carole's 0.1 outline technique but couldn't get it to work. In the end was defeated but had a bit of fun with a character that did work.

Day 1 The first font I used (Swiss721 BlkCnBT Bold) didn't work too well as the fill part was too condensed so I expanded the fill but it then spilled out around the outline on some letters. I then tried in Arial Black ( a safe bet) but had to reduce the kerning a bit. I used X3 Stars for my Picture Tube. It helped laying a Guide Line at the top level where I wanted the stars to appear and then filling downwards. As far as a project goes to apply the effect, I am thinking of a greetings card for my niece in Africa who is about to graduate.

I'm in now too.

I had trouble with the clusters tutorial and needed to have more time to digest it. Sheila's practice of labelling each layer in the cluster sounded worthwhile. I rejoined, albeit late, (busy bank holiday weekend!) for the cast shadow. I did wonder at the time about the highlight on the pin head and thought if the head was a large sphere, it probably would catch the light in that position so it didn't look bad to me. I didn't see a link to a quiz so not sure what your results were about. Thank you again Carole for your ideas and tuition and thank you participants for all the useful suggestions.

Lesson5 I've added the ribbons to a project but all three on my design are a bit much but show how versatile they can be.

Now there's a good idea. I tend to label the layers anyway but adding the values, brill!

Lesson 4 Pink flower like a card shadow 20: 20: 70: but increased the blur: 30 No Warp Brush Pale purple rose: 30:30:70:40 Used Warp brush and reduced the opacity of the shadow afterwards in the layers palette which makes me wonder how you can go back to the drop shadow settings after actioning it to see what values were set? Deep purple rose and Lacey red flower : 50:50:50:80, using Warp brush on both and tried using more of the edge of the warp brush this time not the centre.
