Photoshop Elements has so many fun features that I don't think I'll ever learn to use them all, but this morning I spent a while experimenting. I started with this picture that I took in November of 1997 when my grandson and I went to a Civil War Reenactment at Magnolia Mound Plantation in Baton Rouge:
An hour or so later, after cropping, applying a sepia tint, creating a ragged border, and painting an entire fake hat, here's the final result:
The hat obviously needed a better artist than I am, but it was a fun project anyway.
UPDATE 3/19/11:
In the comments on this post Janet asked if I thought I could add suspenders to my grandson. Who could resist a challenge like that? Thanks for the idea, Janet. (While I was working on suspenders, I also took the tops of Koby's ears out from under his hatband.)
I like it!! Good job!!
ReplyDeleteWow...you did a good job! I have tried to master my program that is only one tenth of what Photoshop is and its just so involved and has so many aspects to it....I'm lost.
ReplyDeletegee, I wish I could do stuff like that! I'm still learning my new photo program. Think you can add suspenders to your grandson?
ReplyDeleteSuperb! I so wish I could do things like this! What a great idea. One of these days, I intend to try and learn even a tenth of what there is in photoshop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouragement, ladies. And, Janet, about those suspenders? Check the update; I gave it a try.
