Newbie Gallery

[Lundana]

Hi again! :-)

I posted here once before and Wendy encouraged me to post pictures in my gallery. I've been trying out some of the great techniques I'm learning in this fabulous forum, like Red Sky's, which I used in the factory picture and Wendy's slides tutorial, in my Tulsa Garden Center collage. All of this - the forum, Elements, the tutorials is sooo addictive! And orbs, orbs! Once I started making those it was hard to stop. Photoshop Elements and this forum should come with a warning label: "User should not plan on sleeping, eating or seeing their loved ones for a week after trying". :eek:

Here's the link to my gallery (hope I'm doing this right):

Ana,

Wow! You have been busy. Some lovely images in your gallery & such a variety of techniques. Can't make up my mind which I like best:)

Yes, we know how addictive this can be. See This Thread (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14343) & this one (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14348) !!!

Hi Ana ...

Oh I am so glad that you have now started your gallery ... and what a great start to it.

You have done some excellent images and great effects, I too tried to choose a favourite but I like theem all :)

Well done ... :)

Great, Just Great.. I like the break out... I tried that and could just never get the drop shadow to look right.. My perception in my mind must be warped or something.. yours looks perfect.

[Lundana]

Thank you Bayla and Wendy! And thank you for the thread links. Heh! That truly describes my life for the last few months. I've even done the delivery truck stalking. And as for the books - I work in a library and have had as many as 10 books on Elements and Photography out at the same time. There is no escape.

Yep, I'm addict and nope, don't want to stop :p

[Lundana]

Oh thank you, Dee! Actually, that breakout has gone through *many* revisions. I just edited it, because the part of the tail that was "breaking out" was offset and I hadn't noticed.

[Lundana]

Wow, Dee, I just saw the monarch butterflies in your gallery - that's a fantastic picture!

Hi Ana ...

Now the next thing to do is add a link to your gallery in your signature ...


Click on User CP at the top of the page then on Edit Signature and copy and paste this into it:

[333url=http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/gallery/viewgallery.php?user=xxxx] My Gallery[/url]

Where it says My Gallery type in what you want to show in your signature.

Now remove the 333 and where it says xxxx type in your user number. Make sure that you don't add any extra spaces ..

To find your user number ... click on Access my Gallery then click on "Share my Gallery" and you see the user number there.

Wendy, thank you for the instructions on the signature - I've been wondering about that...

Is the signature added automatically when you post? I guess I'm about to find out! :)

[Wendy]

Hi Ana ...

Looks like you have missed off a bracket at the end of the line :)

Wendy

[Lundana]

I just saw that - I hope it works this time :o

[ktnoon60]

Ana you have done some beautiful work, there was no need to be shy about posting. My favorite is the plant in the pot, the colors and lighting are fantastic.

Ana, your gallery is wonderful! I'll add it to the long list of others here that I visit often for inspiration.

Janet

[Lundana]

Thank you Terry and Janet. :-) Terry, the plant picture is where I discovered a wonderful new use for the impressionist brush - it perfectly hides the haze in my not-so-clean kitchen window - LOL! By the way, I took a stroll through your Galleria. I am in awe.

Ana,

Great start to your gallery. Like the others, I found it impossible to choose a favourite - they are all marvellous. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Karen :)

[Wendy]

Hey Ana ....

You did it :D :D ...

Ana,

What a beautiful gallery. I truly love the orb. I'm crazy about orbs.

[jstorck]

Very well done gallery.

[kayser]

Great start to your gallery, Ana! I enjoyed looking through your images.

[NMarti]

Welcome. You have some very nice stuff in your gallery. I really like that lake with the flowers - very cool. Did you use a mirror image?

[Lundana]

Thank you all for your comments - it's been very encouraging. :) I can't wait to go out and take more pictures!

Nancy, I used Mehdi's kaleidoscope plug-in. I didn't like the composition of the original image (there's a distracting bush of flowers in front of a tree which I *tried* to clone out) so I played with it. I've never used pixentral but I'll see if I can figure it out and post the original picture here.

[Lundana]

Here is the original image. (I think)

Ana, what a terrific new gallery! It is hard to pick a favorite, but I, too, really do love the potted plant. Keep them coming!

[msbrad]

Your gallery is wonderful. so many neat ideas. I cannot select a favorite either. However I am blown away by the "original" posted a bit just above and your finished product.
