My PSP Doodlings
Week 5
Last
night (Sunday) before I knew what the new assignments would be, I decided to
use some of my photos to create some new background tiles for my
website. These are only a few of the results. (You've unleashed a PSP addict now!) I used what you've taught me about cropping,
resizing, adjusting, adding effects, and saving. Wow!

changed tile new tile
I
cropped, resized, adjusted, and exported this photo to use as my top
tile you see here on this page. I first made it to go with the two
below, but I saw it would also look good with the background on this
page. This is the sky section.
These
were also created from the above photo. I cropped the ocean
section, resized, and adjusted. For the one on the left, I used the
bubble effect and then the Kaleidoscope effect. For the one on the
right, I used the weave effect and then the Kaleidoscope effect. I
added a photo section to my website, and then I used the above as my
background tiles to display the beach photos.
I was
on a roll and cropped the section on the left from my Teacher of the
Year photo showing the bouquet I received. On the first one, I used
the emboss effect and then the kaleidoscope effect. On the next one,
I decided to resize first and then do the kaleidoscope. On the last
one, I used color edges effect in blue, kaleidoscope, and lens
distortion.
Remember these from Week 3? The ones below came from the emboss one
on the end.
Well,
I couldn't stop there now could I! I went back and used the color
edges effect of the flower photo in the middle to come up with all of
these above.
Since
I was into flowers and plants, I cropped this from a photo of a
giant Elephant Ear plant taken on St. George Island, Fl. After using
kaleidoscope, and tile effects, the ones below are my results.
Well,
when I got up this morning (Monday), I started having fun all over again.
I used
my ocean and sky cropped and resized photo to do the flood fill
technique on and came up with the ones below.
I
also used another cropped and resized section of the Elephant Ear
plant photo to use flood fill on for the one below.
Peachy and Sally would
be ashamed of my efforts on this poor kitty! This is not my forte.
At least this piggy is a
little better.
These poor flowers look
like the ones at my house that suffer from my lack of a green thumb.
I really warped them.
I could never get the
Visman filters to work so I just used Eye Candy ripple and swirl on
this Hosta tube. I had just gotten the Eye Candy CDs last week and
wanted to try them out.
EXTRA CREDIT:
I liked the one I used
earlier on the flood fill technique so much that I decided to do it
using the metallic gold 01, angle 22, repeat 1, sunburst style, 50
horizontal, 50 vertical, tolerance 9, opulence 42. Next I used Eye
Candy ripple on the right
I next used Eye Candy
corona on the left.
Then Eye Candy glass on the right.
I decided I didn't like
ripple so much so I went back to the first one and started over. I
used corona on the left. Next I used glass on the right.
The ones above went so
well that I decided to try my cropped bouquet photo. I'm hooked on
the glass effect! I cropped and resized my photo to 213x114. Then I
used Eye Candy Impact glass.
Next, I found another I
love too...texture noise!! I thought it would be gorgeous under
glass, but it didn't turn out so pretty.
I went back to the
texture noise. Then I used ripple and gradient glow on the left.
Yow! From there, I used wood on the right.
From
flowers to wood in 5 steps.
Well, I decided to use
more techniques learned from the class. I just ordered Paint Shop
Extras Creative Edition 1 and 2 which have some neat frames. I found
the monitor frame which is perfect for me. I added the frame to the
top right one using transparency color #ffff80. Next, I added text
using Arial Black font, size 12, bold, stroke 1, floating, antialias
smooth. The color I used was gradient Duotone red, sunburst, angle
0, repeat 1, vertical and horizontal 50. I thought you might
want to see the original photo; I went back and cropped, resized to
300x249, and adjusted using one step fix. I tried using glass, but
it distorts everything out of proportion ( My arm looked like
Popeye's sailor arm.). I framed and used the same text except
I changed to size 16.
