Thanks Carole for extra info. Is there any info on how to convert MP4 files relating to Photo Mirage to GIF please?

My sympathy Janette. Can't imagine what you are going through. Brave of you to share.

A big thank you to Carole and her fun and expertise throughout the year and a happy Christmas to you all. Hope to join in more in the new year.

I have worked on two of my projects for the Text workshop taking into account some comments. I have really enjoyed this workshop and also want to say thank you to Carole. For my Night Sky image I added a few shadows as suggested and then having looked at 'A Beautiful Mess' Masterclass again, played around with effects to make the blank area look more interesting. There is so much spontaneous creativity demonstrated in that Cassel tutorial. For the Zuki project, I put a few of the Text Workshop techniques together as I knew I was due to make a greetings card for her. I had to fiddle a bit getting a larger font to fit into my Africa shape. Apologies for corny poem though. Thanks for all your ideas participants and thank you again Carole.

Day 7 Font Geometr706 BlkCnBT with leading -0.3. Slight drop shadow and inner bevel white. Used different photos of mine of the sky from my window.

Day 6 I chose the Picture Tube called River Rocks and ran the script 3 times to give a piled up effect of the rocks. On one of the stroked layers I added a drop shadow 5:5:87:5 for slight effect. I don't know why but I am having trouble highlighting my text vector layer to be able to change attributes ie if I wanted to change the font.

Carole suggested putting some shadow on the lettering as the colouring is light. To do this according to the tutorial with the 'Character Shapes' method we need to use Layer Styles for the whole word. Here's one without shadow and one with. As usual Carole has the good ideas. Thank you.

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?
