OK, here's one I've just done. Will need to do it a couple of times to get the hang of it.
I'm working in elements 5. If you want to know exactly how I did this (including the writing which is part of the lesson), here is the photoshop link to do this step by step. I'll do it a couple of more times and this will then teach me how to use some tools and then I can think about how I can apply them for other things.
Others may also find this helpful as a learning tool.
I don't know if this really qualifies for overlay but I think it's along the same lines and it will be helpful for many. Sorry if I've done the wrong thing by posting this here.
day 16 again ..
it looked ok as a thumb, but a disappointment when its opened .. probably a bit too busy .. maybe i should'v realised when i was actually working on it !!!!!!!!!
OK, I think I'm beginning to like the power of photoshop more and more but I have soooo much to learn.
The hand is actually from a statue which is metallic silver. I had taken it with the purpose of using it for something else and this layers thing has helped me become more creative. Thanks so much.
day 17 again ..
i was feeling down this afternoon and this was the result .. its probably a bit dark in mood etc for most ppl .. the screaming faces arent immediately obvious .. it could be more a subliminal downer for other ppl looking at it tho ..??
