TUTORIAL: Buttons, Links and Image Previews
I’ve recently been asked to help someone with a tutorial on using image product previews on your profile in a smaller size, and how to make and use buttons in your profile, and to be able to make the image product previews smaller.
To that end, this is a tutorial that explains how to make buttons using online button generators, and how to make them show in your profile, and then how to link …
Editing Images without Buying Software
Often enough I find people asking for editing help that can’t afford or don’t want to download editing tools – not even free ones, for their own reasons.
I’ve spent some time checking out the online tools selection (Jo posted a listing of ten of these tools a while back). I didn’t use most of them, but looked them over, grabbed a screenshot and linked them all on a page in my blog.
Beside…
Based on Martin Kirkwood's "Stark Raving Bonkers" Journal
Earlier this month Martin Kirkwood responded to a suggestion from funkyfacestudio to paint blindfolded, and posted his results in his journal (titled Stark Raving Bonkers )
I was inspired by his willingness to step up to the challenge, and found myself thinking ”...
Tutorial: Replacing a Sky in PS Elements (7)
This quick tutorial for beginners was based on a request from CJ Hummel – she was looking for a way to tanslate the positions and names of the tools from my regular tutorials for use in PS Elements.
Sometime in the next week or so I’ll post a page with the PSE tools and the corresponding names/places of the PSCS tools.
For now, I’ve written a quic…
NEW Update to "Specifically Software"
A couple of new additions to the sotware listing on Specifically Software
These are located near the top of the list with the designation NEW
This doesn’t mean the software is new, only that it is new to the listing on this journal.
Tutorial Listing
This is simply a page where I can the links to all the tutorials I have hosted on my web server. As I add new tutorials, this list will change, but every once in a while I send out an update journal.
Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago I accidently deleted a folder that contained the tutorials (among other things), but up until someone bmailed me looking for one of the tutorials, I hadn’t fi…
Specifically Software Listing - *UPDATED*
I’ve done a few updates to this previous journal that lists some new software (well, not necessarily new software, just new to the list).
At the very bottom of the page is a listing for a site that offers one “licensed software” for free every day – be sure to look for it, and mark the site…
TUTORIAL: Resizing Images for Print in Photoshop - The Simpler Way
For those of you with Photoshop, here’s a simple tutorial for resizing images for print in Photoshop.
Much to my surprise, I discovered that Photoshop (CS2 is what I use) has a wizard for resizing images to print – something I had not seen before since I never ventured into the “Help” menu, which is where you’ll find it. This option is not available in CS3.
I am currently printing my own …
Inspirations from Buck's Mountain
One of the inspirations I draw on for my own work sometimes is a trip we took to Georgia some years back – and the girl (well, woman really) who lives, surrounded by nature, on the top of Buck’s Mountain – Patricia Montgomery.
She’s been at the art of photography for a number of years, and her array of filters for her digital canon amazed me. Even …
The Astonishing Reality of Martin Kirkwood
Having only recently had the opportunity to really look at Martin’s work instead of glancing through his portfolio I find myself astonished at how much reality appears in his work – and at how versatile he is with different mediums.
I love his abstracts, but also his portraits – it’s difficult to choose a favourite from among this amazing display. ...
