Letting Loose with Photoshop Elements 3.0!


Here's where I am going to post some of my doodlings with Photoshop Elements 3.0. I have plenty of books on how to tweak photos with this software, and for the most part, the software has been doing only the very very basic things in my day-to-day use of it. But there is SOOOO much more out there that even this version of the software can do. So I'm going to post some of the results I've gotten from tweaking some of my photos.

Below are the pictures (the newest creations are at the top), both the before version and the after version. If you're interested in any of these in high-res, photo-printable goodness, let me know and I'll send you the full-on version. Enjoy!

Killer Keystone View

At the top of Keystone Mtn in the Rocky Mountains is a very breathtaking view, reached once you take the Gondola up. We were here for one last ski adventure in April 2006, and the clouds were just amazing to view. It literally looked like you were about to ski into the abyss. I wanted to replace my Christmas photo on the front of the website, but couldn't figure out just what to put. Then I saw this 'montage' technique in the Photoshop book and thought of this ski picture and Voila, the rest is history.

Fall in Aspen

In this picture, I took one of my favorite photos from my drive out to Colorado Springs in Oct 05. I had stopped in Aspen (because who doesn't want to stop in Aspen?) and saw this beautiful little pull-off with a little wood bridge over a little creek. My friend Erin has just gotten one of her scenery pictures professionally Ansel-Adams-ized; I wanted to see if I could do the same with one of the techniques in a book I have. I loved the results, and have printed out a page-size version of it.
