Another Photoshopped photo. I do hope these women don’t recognize themselves. I used so many different Photoshop tools: brush, clone stamp, palette knife, colored pencil filter, sponge, desaturate, paint daubs, magic wand.

Wow..that is really cool. It looks like a painting. I just worked my way back after going through some back posts. There is so much information here!. I must get over my phobia of photo editing software. I must and I will...Michelle
Tamara says
That's great. It needs a fun caption, like something two older ladies wouldn't be expected to be talking about. :)
Ilana-Davita says
I like that; you've made it look like a painting.
leoraw says
Michelle, go ahead and play. For me, the phobia was showing everyone my results, even if I think it's so-so. I'm getting over that one.
Tamara, so, what should the caption be?
Ilana-Davita, yeah, I really do miss "real" painting, though. It's more satisfying, but takes a lot more cleaning up.

Leora: Very nicely done, you are talented with Photoshop.
Baila says
I just got a new Canon PowerShot 750, which can do alot of nifty things. I really have to find the time to read the manual, and then play with photoshop. That picture is great!
leoraw says
Baila, I recommend using the pre-set settings (Indoor, Kids 'n Pets, Foliage, Beach, Auto, Portrait, Night) and don't worry about the manual settings for a while. The manuals are really difficult, and I suspect I would have better results with an SLR camera. I already know the limitations of the Canon Powershots, but for most purposes, they are great cameras.
thanks so much everyone else.

Not necessary to know what you did, important is the result.
Wonderful art-photo.

torsdag, some artists like to talk about their paint brushes. I like to talk Photoshop tools. And maybe one or two readers are interested in those details, too? Thanks for visiting.
Mary, yes, I felt like I had the paints to throw about...I guess I'm getting closer to feeling the "let go and paint" feeling I get when I paint with oils.
