Happy Halloween!!

[kimi_boo]

I thought it would be nice it we could have one thread to view everyone's Halloween Images. I promise to work on one myself.
Post your Halloween Images here...

[Wendy]

Great idea Kimi ... :)

Wendy

[kimi_boo]

[kroberts]

Kimi,
That is spooky, especially the face/skull on the left:eek: Looks very real, I think you've got a future in designing posters for horror movies.

[kevq]

Kimi,
sorry but I posted mine before this was posted.
Kev.:) :eek: :)

[nkeevers]

Great images Kimi! Pretty scary looking:eek: Where did you get that creepy skull? (or is that a trade secret?)

[kevq]

Kimi,
scary stuff. Like it mucho.
Kev:) :) :)

[kimi_boo]

Kev... post it here also. :D We can have one big thread full of Halloween Images.

I found all of the pictures on Google.:p

[nkeevers]

Thanks. I didn't see much at Adobe.

[jo]

I just put one in my gallery. This may throw me over the edge of the cliff and into the scrapping pit. I'll have to look again to see if I have a clear picture of the jack-o-lantern, but I think this blurry one is exactly what it looked like -- or what it was intended to look like.

[kevq]

[Wendy]

Hi Kimi ...

I decided to play with blending ... but when I needed some texture I used the cat :eek:

You can just see her eye in the top left :D :D

Wendy

[gmill]

Thanks, Kim. And thanks to Grafi and Wendy (and probably a few other people) for showing how easy it is to install in PSE5!

I just put another Halloween pic in my gallery. I went trick-or-treating with my grandson and his little sister. He needs a push in the stroller and she needs someone to catch her when she starts to run, so Mom and I took the kids out and Daddy stayed home to hand out treats. Scary neighborhood!

[jo]

Alice, Raffy is quite versatile! :rolleyes:

[raffy]

Thanks,Jo!He does get around!;) Your cards are super!

Really spooooky stuff,everyone!Great! (No bones about it! ooooooooooo...nothing scarier than a baaaad pun!)

[billz]

Happy Halloween to all! Mine's from my gallery.

Bill

[Ellen]

It's all getting spookier :eek: I hope Raffy will get between Bill's bat and anything else that comes along.
Nice shot Bill - I know full well that bats and spiders are our friends but yipes!

[Bob_Benner]

Here's mine. I posted it in the subscriber technique forum before I saw this thread. Hope everyone likes it.

Kimi, thanks :)

[raffy]

Thanks,Kev!My first real foray into Flash-you could say now I'm a Flasher!
ooooooooo.........but I'd rather you didn't!:D:D:D

[NMarti]

Wow - you guys are really coming up with some great images. I didn't do one this year. I just put Auggie "BirdDog" back in my gallery in honor of Halloween.

Gary - those are really spooky! What tut did you use?
Wendy & Kimi - who knew blending could become so creepy? :D
Alice - Raffy not on a broom? Wow is he becoming a chicken now? ;):D

[nkeevers]

Wow! Love them all! Jo, how do you do the animation? I've never tried that.

Well, feel funny putting my piddly one up but just wanted to wish you all a candy filled Halloween!

[kevq]

Mel, thanks but when I go to the site it shoews the font. When I try to download it says the font doesn't exist.
Kev:confused: :)

[GaryK]

Thanks guys.

It is a photo I took of my son. I just added the background (a photo I took of our fairgrounds at night)

They were a variation of a ghost tut Dave did (last year??)

[Byron Gale]

Here's one I did three years ago... it was for Grant's challenge #38.

[Wendy]

Hi Byron ...

Oh that was an excellent day to night conversion :eek: ...

Norma, the animation is done with "save for web" saving it as a gif with animation checked.

You need a few layers, each one a little different -- but not too many and not too big. For the ghost animation I flattened the image except for the ghost. Duplicated the layers once and made the ghost a little bigger. Merged the original image/ghost pair. Duplicated the layers again and made the ghost a little bigger with a "boo". Merged the middle sized pair. Merged the papa-bear sized pair and the text. Duplicated the middle sized layer. Duplicated the little ghost layer. Now I have 5 layers - pic with small ghost, pic with middle sized ghost, pic with large ghost "boo", pic with middle sized ghost again, and pic with small ghost again.

[GaryK]

I love the "fun" elements you guys put in your photos... I wish I could think like that:mad:
Not that I am unhappy with mine. I just wish I would think of that stuff when I am doing things.:confused:

[Rusty]

The little beggers didn't come to our house until tonight. For some reason we had a lot more girls this year than boys. And... we always know when girls are coming because we can hear them giggling as they came up the driveway. :)

[SenorSlick]

Wow, I love that one Kim!

[SenorSlick]

Jo, That Jack o lantern is really a great piece of work. Such talent you have! As for me, someday I hope.

[Byron Gale]

Thanks, Wendy. :)

Digging that one out of the archives really brought me a shock that it has been more than three years since we've been doing Grant's challenges!!!

Byron ...

I didn't realise it was so long either :eek: ... my first entry was in No 28 but in those days I didn't do everyone :)

I still don't do every Challenge, but I keep all of them I've worked on... the first time I worked up my courage enough was for #14, on 10 May 2003... :eek:
