I wanted to create something with scanned items and my painted backgrounds, so I crumpled up a piece of ivory paper and scanned it, scanned in a painted and gesso-ed background, grabbed one of my roses that had dried, scanned an old envelope & check ledger I found at an antique store, scanned a photo I purchased on ebay, and went to it!!!
This is a look at the layers in Photoshop. What's not to LOVE about Photoshop! Okay, if you are struggling with this awesome program, check out the tutorials online. Many are free and I learn from them whenever I want to try something new or get a question answered. Here's a list with a few . If anyone has some more suggestions for tutorials, please post a comment and fill me in...I would love to know about any and all tutorials!
PS: It looks like Blogger has hiccups again.... you can't click on the last two images and get them to open to view a larger photo. Sorry about that. I will put them on my flickr site to view. Thanks!
