Norma,
told you that you would love it.
It makes life easier and gives results that make our creations really pop.
Nice one with the jeans.
Kev.:):)

[msbrad]

Norma,
now this is classy. Well done.
Kev.:):)

[Pauline]

The jeans one is one of my favourtes. (there are a few of them, but I liked that one the best)

[NMarti]

Jodi
Question regarding the textures. Can they be scaled once they are applied? I'm trying to show my daughter but this is totally escaping me if it can. Here is a quick 5 minute from photo to canvas to framed with the texture background and leaf photo changed to multiply.

Is There Somewhere I Can View What This Cd Of Jodi's Has To Offer.

[msbrad]

Hi Jimmy Bob,
Not that I am aware of. However, there are a couple of threads here that post examples (different layouts) from this CD as testers of Jodi's latest .

The best I can offer to you, is to trust from all of us that own the first one, and from those who have purchased the new one. I am certain you will be most pleased. Jodi is a very talented lady and I am grateful she is sharing her talents with us.

I showed some examples on this thread but there are others.

Kev has posted quite a few examples too as have others.

[NMarti]

Well I managed to muddle my way through PSE5 and used Jodi's CD to create a page for my other dog Rudy. I did some editing for practice - covered the original flower and moved two more back on, some burning to create the paw prints on the label, some embossing on the text and some color adjustment on the pocket to make it match the pants. Think that's it.

[kevq]

Nancy,
what a great one with Rudy!! Shows what can be done with the CD and a great imagination.
Kev:):)

[NMarti]

Thanks Kev. My daughter got 5 and asked me to "figure it out for her" while she is visiting her husband before he deploys. This was my first look at 5 and it's pretty interesting but confusing the heck out of me. :rolleyes:

[kevq]

Nancy,
not to confused to stop you doing great work.:D
Kev:)

[Pauline]

Nancy that's great. I love the way you did the dog bone charm hanging from the belt loop too!!

I didn't think you had 5! It sure is different, isn't it!

[nkeevers]

Nancy, great job with the jeans! Now I'll have to go try another!:D

[msbrad]

Nancy,
That is terrific. I hope I get reading done today at work, so I can play when I get home.
m

[NMarti]

Thank you guys. It was a bit of a challenge figuring out how to do some things becasue 5 acts so different.

No Pauline I don't have it. My daughter bought it and wants me to learn it so I can teach her.:rolleyes: I have her computer while she's visiting Travis before he leaves for Iraq. I bought Jodi's CD for her so I'm playing with it while she's gone.

[PhilCro]

The CD is the best. Hoping for the snow they are predicting so we can't go to work and I can stay home and play. Tried the barn wood - liked it alot.
Have a great day everyone.

[Jodi Frye]

Oh Nancy that is superb ! You have no idea how happy i am to see this ! This is what i was hoping someone would do ( doing it their way with a little help from me :) )! Bravo !!!!

[TonyW]

Just arrived in the mail. Still cold but loaded it anyway - no problems - working great and so many possibilities (and I already started mixing the old missing styles with the new frames). Very cleverly done Jodi. Thank you so much - money in the mail once the latest winter storm stops and I can get to the bank :)

Tony

[nkeevers]

Tried one of my girlfriend and her hubby using one of Jodi's matted frames and background. Simple but the frame speaks for itself.

[Cmcburnett]

Norma, I like the frame. I'm waiting on my copy of the CD.

[msbrad]

Just installed mine. Great directions Jodi ( I printed out the read me and then), I did it all by myself.:D
I've been peaking at all the goodies. And have lots of ideas to use them on.

I did this one ...real quick!

[NMarti]

:o Gosh - thanks so much Jodi. It was easy with the wonderful quality of the images. It's a great CD.

[Jodi Frye]

Charlotte, I tracked your disc ....USPS tracking info says it was delivered this morning (Feb 12th) at 9:55 am ???

[CarolLHB]

Hi Jodi-

Is the new CD for PSE5 only?

Thanks:)

[Jodi Frye]

Carol, yes it was created to be included in the new Artwork and Effects palette in Elements 5. The backgrounds are just jpegs but the frames are designed especially for the new Elements engine.

[CarolLHB]

Thanks, Jodi:)

[jazzfisher]

Jodi,
I got mine--installed perfectly!!!! Haven't the time to play yet!
But the check's in the mail or if you believe that--- there's an island in NY that I'll sell you ....


Thank you!!!:)

[Jodi Frye]

Hey girl ! , there are lots of islands in NY :)

Thanks again !

Jodi

[Cmcburnett]

Received my CD and installed w/no problem. Here are a couple of my very quick frames. Can't wait to explore the backgrounds

[Jodi Frye]

Charlotte, glad you got it !

Oh those are nice !!! Hope you make good use of these !

Enjoy !

[Cmcburnett]

Thank you Jodi. Just recvd CD yesterday and didn't have much time to explore and work on them. I am very happy with all the different frames and backgrounds. I especially love the beach and ocean backgrounds. They are suitable for framing w/o adding anything to the them. I'm thinking about printing the background w/the sailboat and hanging in my nautical room. Thanks again sooo much. BTW, I upgraded from 4 to 5 just so I could get your CD and it was worth every penny.;)

[kevq]

Charlotte,
nicely done. Welcome to the Jodi Fan Club. You're going to be busy trying to decide what to try next, I know I am.
Kev.:):)

[Russinator]

Charlotte: I love both frames, especially the one with the sailor. I haven't found that frame yet, I'm off to look for it.

Russ

[Jodi Frye]

Russ, it's not in with the frames... Backgrounds>misc images >cave frame. :)

[Russinator]

Jodi, thank you. I would never thought to look there. At least, not for a long time. Russ

[Jodi Frye]

oh that's cool ! Did you take the orca pic ? neato !

I wish i can go on that photoshop cruise !!!!!! Grrrrrr

[TonyW]

Finally got to have a quick play and found just the Victorian style frame on the CD I was looking for to finish off a picture of my grandfather at age 14 in 1882. Took me a little while to figure out how to turn a landscape frame into a portrait one then it dawned on me - flip the image, frame it and then flip the whole thing back :o. Thanks Jodi.

Tony

[Jodi Frye]

Tony ! Awesome ! Glad you found the look you were after. Looks great !


Note; I'm going to start punishing people who don't read the ' TIPS ! ' in the Read Me file ;)

[nkeevers]

LOL! That was the first thing I did after installing...reading the tips.

[jazzfisher]

Do I at least get points for printing it out????:D


:o No, I haven't read them yet..........................

[nkeevers]

Sherry...yeah, as long as you haven't tried anything yet!:cool: :eek: :D (just kidding!)

[nkeevers]

Jodi, thank you. I would never thought to look there. At least, not for a long time. Russ

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r34/RussC_02/zzzcaveframe.jpg

Gee, Russ, you're putting us all to shame now!:eek: :D :D

[TonyW]

Well I did scan the tips briefly and remembered a couple of important things (like how to get rid of the mat that I didn't want) but didn't remember the portrait landscape thing :o . Well maybe my subconscious did because it didn't take too long before I tried the layer rotate instead of trying to beat the frame into the right shape :D

Just reread them and added a few more things to remember next time.

Tony

[GaryK]

So umm Tony

You got yours then?

Apparently mine showed up Monday..got a text from my daughter.

Now for this wonderful course to be finished.:mad:

[TonyW]

Yup Gary: Got it Monday too - usually I'm a day after you but I guess having a weekend to travel the 401/402 helped. Hope you're having all kinds of fun in Ajax :D

Tony

[Cmcburnett]

Russ, I love your picture and the frame. I am definitely in the Jodi fan club.

[Jodi Frye]

Oh i'm happy that my Canadian neighbours got there discs ! Yay ! Always a bit worried when i ship outside the country. Never know...

[Jodi Frye]

Thanks Charlotte !!! <blush> I'm glad you like it.

[GaryK]

Jodi:

You know we would never blame you.:)


Tony:

Now I know why Pauline moved.:D

At least they have a gym associated with the hotel, so I can still hit that in the morning. Got to, the way I've been eating.:p

[msbrad]

Hey Jodi,
Not only did I READ the READ ME and the tips... I printed it ALL out to re-read with the highlighter. (becasuse I can screw anything up!)
Just finished using one of the backgrounds you provided for a Valentine for daughter and her boyfriend.
I will eventually get it posted.
I also utilized Wendy's tut and Kimi's font (of king and queen-forgot I had) in it.

That's adorable! Now I can hardly wait for Jodi's disc to come.

Jodi,

I love your picture of the little girl.. How did you do that? Where can you get the CD everyone is talking about? I am trying to learn all this and I need lots of help. Your gallery is amazing.
Donna

[Cmcburnett]

Joann, great job, I love it. Michelle, I did the same thing you did when I first got the CD I read the instrutions, printed and highlighted the steps and tips, because like you I have a tendency to screw up downloads.Can't wait until I have time to try it out on a variety of pics.

[Pauline]

Donna, just click on Jodi's name and select PM to send her a private message regarding her wonderful cd.

Gary...........Ajax has grown a lot since I lived there 22 years ago!! I hardly recognize it down there when I go.

Joann,

Welcome to the forum, where you will find friendly helpful people all the time here!! Great job on the frame and layout!

[msbrad]

Joann, The LO is adorable! welcome to the forum. this is quite a group here. Very helpful and a lot of fun.

Charlotte~good to know I am not the only one needing to print things out. One of my notebooks is dedicated to "read me". There is a Jodi section, a Panos section, a Graffi section....
m

[Cmcburnett]

Michelle, we do think alike, I also have a note book w/the same sections. Just wish I had more time to play around w/it.

[Jodi Frye]

Joann, I do like it ! Glad you like that style too ! ;)

[Jodi Frye]

Nancy, not sure how i missed your post question about the textures ...I'm not sure I understand your question...being snowed in is getting to me :rolleyes:

[Pauline]

Jodi, shouldn't you be out shoveling? :twisted:

[Jodi Frye]

Pauline, my neighbour plowed my driveway just before 3 this afternoon<yay>...however it needs it again but hubby is home now :D

[NMarti]

Heck Jodi - I forgot the question.:D I went back and found it though. I guess what I'm asking is - your frames can be adjusted and scaled when they are applied. The textures,however, seem to apply with no options to adjust them like the regular textures (scale, depth, etc). I was just wondering if they could be adjusted or is WYSIWYG.

[Jodi Frye]

Nancy, oh you mean the backgrounds>Simple textures ? Or the textures on frames...either way ...nope they were created and built-in that way. sawri

[NMarti]

Jodi
Sort of what I thought. Oh well - still great and loving every minute of them. My daughter comes home today - but I'm not giving back her computer - I'm having too much fun.:D

[wildrose]

Jodi, I just sent you a personal message for info on your CD. Hope you get it OK. Can't wait for your answer.
