Happy times and some not so good news January 29, 2008

Filed under: Digital Scrapbook Inspiration, Digital Scrapbooking — Jennifer @ 5:47 pm

Just checked the DET Scavenger Hunt forum for week one and to my amazement I have won a page to be scrapped by one of the current Digital Elite Team Members Lynette (FormbyGirl)  Now the hard part is choosing what photos to send to her.

By the way I didn’t make the Creative Team at Faith Sisters (will try again though in April when they have their next call)

Quick question January 24, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jennifer @ 12:16 pm

When you access my blog is it slow to load or not? I find it is very slow to load and am wondering if it is just me or it is everyone.

 

Tutorial Feedback wanted January 24, 2008

Filed under: Tutorials — Jennifer @ 12:14 pm

Since I am new with creating tutorials I would like to ask a few questions.

Are they useful?

What topics would you like future tutorials to be on?

Are the tutorials detailed enough/or do they not have enough detail in them?

Are the photos detailed enough?

 

Tutorial: Selective Coloring of Photos January 23, 2008

Filed under: Tutorials — Jennifer @ 6:54 pm

Here is my 1st tutorial on how to selectively color your photos. Feel free to ask me any questions. Please note that I use Photoshop Elements 6 so the screenshots may look different in other programs. If you would like to learn how to do it in Photoshop and above here is a link to Kimberley’s blog 

Step 1: Open Photo

Step 2: Duplicate photo by right clicking in the layers palette and selecting duplicate layer

Step 3: Turn top layer to black & white by going Enhance then Convert to Black & White (Play around in this area if you wish)

Step 4: Making sure you are on the black and white layer, use an appropriate sized eraser to erase the parts of the image you wish to have in color.

Step 5: Right click on either layer in the layers palette and click merge layers.
