How do you resize the postage stamp after it is completed? I used Wendy's tut.

Thanks.

Thank you for the comment. I would also like to compliment you on your very creative image --- well done:D

Rita...I really LOOKED hard at your image...you changed the color of the leader's uni! And she's balancing on a tuba! (Just in case you didn't notice...:D). Very cool touches!!

mks - those are some BIG honkin' beer cans....enough to stand up to tuba players' big thirsts! :D Very clever!

Thanks, Pete!

Thank you, Val. Must have happened when I wasn't paying attention. I like your composition, nice light rays.

Bill, that must have taken a lot of selecting. It's so good, it took me a moment to even realize that the background had changed.

Cape, very neat font cutout and reflection.

Thanks Rita. We had a parade in town on Saturday night ... I happened to be nearby as the parade watchers were beginning to arrive, and caught a lucky break in traffic when there were no cars in the street.

Tony - I like the quadritych idea and I especially like the background. It looks like stage curtains ... did you make it or use one of your images??

Bill

[Ellen]

Don't we all love a parade?
Val's starting us off with the great scored background and fairies riding Sousaphone waves led us to
Cape's spot on photo filled letters complete with a fine reflection which led us to
Tony's happening upon the majorette(sp?) getting some space -and then a bit later getting it all four squared away.
MaryLou 's stamp edges are just right to send,
Bill- sorry you missed the Rhododendron Fest but what a seamless transport to Roses! impressive move
Rita- that is one fabulous transformation - on a tuba stand and most importantly keeping the parade wave.
Pete -as Val said that is one knock out OOB! The transition from the photo to the pavement is inspired.
Marie - parades on TV are my weakness so I'll be over next time.
Bob- Your arrangement is perfect! (I know in Chicago there was a tuba group called the Low Blow) And thanks yet again for your always insightful comments on Grant's challenges.
Val sent a photo to pht.challeng@gmail.com for us to mess around with and so should you all. (Val- I'll wat til hot weather before using it.)

Bill: I was real lazy - that's one of the backgrounds that comes with PSE6 :D.

Ellen --
Thanks for your comments. I dithered about using the 16th notes until I remembered Bernie Green's 'Flight of the Bumblebee' with lead tuba.

I really liked your quadriptych too. Any chance of a tut on it? I'm not very 'up with it' when it comes to doing stuff like that......but I want to expand......

>>Here is my try at the marching band:

Toni (with an i ): Wasn't too difficult. All I did was make a selection and copy and paste to a new layer - then move the selection along to the next piece and do it again until I had the 4 bits on 4 layers. Then I used a background that came with Elements and used one of Jodi's layer style frames on each of the 4 layers. Hardest part was deciding which bits to select so they came out the same size and each made a sort of picture in a picture. Be easier with a landscape where you don't run the risk of chopping people in half :)

Christell- I love that! Not only the inclusion of past challenges but the curve of the new street is just perfect.

[Aussie Nan]

Thanks Tony (y),

Will give it a go soon. Thanks for your trouble.

Great work from everyone! What skill and imagination!

Christell, I particularly like your second piece! The moose was a wonderful addition!

[kim2900]

Christell - I really enjoyed your second take on this image! Great job!
