Happy Early Memorial Day Weekend!
Still feeling a bit under the weather, and itching to do something creative,
I decided to work a little digital magic on one of my existing photos.

and brush up on my Photoshopping skills.

when in reality I alternate between at least half a dozen photo editing programs.

So....let's get started!
Do you think that I printed out a copy

Think again!
All digital. Isn't that amazing?
Here's the original image...
But where else can I take this?
Hmmmm....
But wait!
Let's stick my boy Havok in the same book!

and voila!
The Literary Husky, First Edition.
How about my watch face, then?

And through the magic of digital wizardry...
Cool beans, right?
You want to have the same fun?
Go HERE and play!

ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! I really am going to have to make an effort to figure out my camera. I am missing all the fun! I think I need to buy "The Idiots Guide to SLR Cameras"...but I am not even sure I can even understand that! ;o)

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI went to the Photofunia site last night and the time zipped by as I converted my scanned graphics using the "Engraving" action. What a neat site!
That book plate engraving gizmo has to be THE coolest thing that I've seen. You know, every time I see what you've come up with I look at my my little camera and it looks pitiful. boo hoo.
ReplyDeleteThe kids left this afternoon for Arkansas to float, so if you're feeling better and can actually "talk", I'll be around Sunday and Monday. Hope you're taking it easy,
love ya,
me
