• SOME TIPS IN HOW TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL CEPIA EFFECTS IN PICASA2

  Picasa2, sellect the image you wish to work on? Go to effects > filtered B & W > click on the colour box ( move the mouse over the colours and see how it affects your black and white work? Pick the effect by clicking on the colour once. and then ok. For the exersise and comparision I have sellected Snowdrops! Click on Tint! This sometimes boosts the contrast, not always? and click ok if you are happy with it? Otherwise cancel. Graduated tint! I love to use this sometimes to darken my whole picture by dragging it all the way down covering my picture. Slide the feather right back so there is no feather effect, and move the other slider up and down to get the desired result you are looking for and then ok, or cancel? Now to get a lovely warm cepia feel, don’t chose cepia? Sellect Warmify instead! Then sellect the Saturation and move the slider down for a subtle effect and ok! Finally sharpen before saving it as your final work in save as! Another lovely tip, which I love to use for effect is Soft Focus! Slide the size slider almost up to the right and the amount slider almost down to the left for a jentle effect! Here is the finnished cepia effect of the Snowdrops Another way of controlling the contrast of your work is to go to Tuning! There are plenty of sliders to help you to put some life back into your lovely work! Hope this was of some help? And anyone who is interested in Picasa? It is free to download by google!

  Sometimes life is hard. I go through emotions I cannot explain? Or it wouldn’t be right to explain even if I could? I suffer with high angsiety and stress because of what life dishes out to me? / My faith does give me the strength to endure there is no doubt about it. Without it I don’t think for one moment that I would be around talking to my friends here on RB? I know I have been missing for quite a while, part of it obviously has been because I was without my computer. But my wonderful husband had bought all the parts to build me one and finally he has. He is the best thing that has happened in my life and I love him dearly. / But also the other reason I’ve not had a full share on RB is because of my emotional state that I find myself in at times when I am just not coping. I am left coping with feelings of hurt and abuse especially now my family have made contact with me and yes, I can forgive and even try my best to forget. But something inside just still hurts very much. / The point that I want to make is that and it has really ment so much to me actually and I want to thank all my very best friends here on RB who despite my absence and maybe unexplained . . . I don’t know but what ever you must be thinking of me?? Still have stood by me and faithfully and loyally suported me here on RB with kind and thoughtful feedback on my work. I am very touched. / What has inspired me to write this was, someone who’s work I admire so much and this person is one of the many top artists here on RB is cheesed off because someone has used her tallent without so much as to saying thank you and because of that she is going to take leave of RB? That is a crying shame. / I do hope this amazing artist changes her mind and doesn’t punnish all those who do really appreciate her and have been suporting her loyally? It always is usually that one person that will try to ruin it for all the rest because of their own selfish ego. / The thing is, for me, despite myself that I am experiencing? It is my friends here on RB that keep me going with all of your kind and warm genuine words! I want to thank you all so much, with my deepest heartfelt regards, Sylvia x

  Last time I’ve told you all in a journal that I’ve created a new account here on RB! But I wasn’t quite shure how to use it really? I wanted to do something different and I have desided that this account! S4art is mainly going to be used for creating and designing some fun T-shirts. / So that anyone who is not really into t-shirts doesn’t have to be bombarded with my new uploads! But anyone who has an interest or is curious as to what I am doing? Is welcome to put me in your watchlist and I really would appreciate some feedback too? / Thank you all so much in advance for all your friendship and loyal suport that you have been giving me, which really has ment very much and still does! My very best regards, Sylvia x

  To all of my wonderful and suportive friends here on RB, I feel I owe you all an explanation especially to all who send me your kind bubblemails to wish me all the best for Christmas? / The reason I’ve not responded to you yet is, one thing I am still getting over this virus which has stopped me in my tracks, but also, to say that I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and as such I do not celebrate Christmas or the New Year. / But I do wish you all my very best and hope that you are all keeping well and stay happy no matter what time of year it is?? My kind regards to you all, Sylvia :-))xxx
