JS Day 8 - Type

Day 8 is about typing text onto a photo. Again, not something I really love personally, but still good to know. A lot of these techniques are geared towards digiscrapping, which I don't do, but would love to start if I could find some time... Maybe when we move. I need to catch up my paper scrapbooks first! One thing that really appeals to me about digiscrapping is that I don't have to drag out supplies - they're all in the computer. That means elements can be used repeatedly, and I don't have to worry about little hands getting hold of my stuff!

Here's the picture. I'm proud to say this was taken in manual at the 4th of July parade in Hope Mills! I brightened it up some and really like the way it turned out! I saved a copy without the text on top too. ;-)

JS Day 6 - TTV

For Lesson 6, Jessica Sprague talks about a technique called "Through the Viewfinder" or TTV. Basically, photographers will take a picture through the viewfinder of an old camera in order to achieve a worn, faded look. Interesting that we have sharp new technology, and people want to make their pictures look old, isn't it? Anyway, the look can also be achieved through photoshop, and here is my go at it. I really like the way this one turned out.

JessicaSprague.com Photo Editing Class - Day 5

Now that VBS is over and my FTCC is on a 3 week break, I figured it was time to get back to my Jessica Sprague class! Day 5 was all about adding textures to photos. I think this one came out well.

A lot of these techniques aren't really my style, or at least not something I'll use a whole lot, but learning how to do these things is helping me navigate my way around PSE6 tremendously!
