Oh, good! As usual, when I saw the baker's stall image (http://glimpsesthroughthemashrabeya.blogspot.com/) on your blog, I wondered how you'd done the effect. ;) I love the bleached look. I'll be back to play later! :)

Bayla...yours is so cute!

I'm still trying to find the right kind of image...I've tossed about 10 in a row...they don't look any different when I'm done than when I started. Hmmm...

Lisa, the bread looks delicious! I like the effect with it!
Toni, I like them both but I agree-I like the first one better also.
Bayla, she looks so cute! I really like the way you added the pink edges.
Thank you, Lisa. I always look forward, after a grueling day of babysitting two 3-yr-olds and a 5-yr-old, to coming home and relaxing with Elements and a new tutorial!

Once again, thanks Lisa - every week I am learning something new!! I am really liking everyone's bleached effects on their photos! All of the pics are turning out great!

hmmm.... is anyone other than me experiencing problems opening the link to this tutorial? When I click on it, the page opens and I'm able to view it for a moment, but then the dreaded error box pops up with "Internet Explorer cannot open this website. Operation aborted." I even tried typing in the URL directly and I get the same error message.

Gee, guys... if you don't want me to play... just say so!:(

I think it might be a problem w/ the site - that happened to me yesterday morning, but then when I tried it again in the evening it worked fine.

Thanks, Tammy! I was starting to take it personally when everyone was posting great pictures and I couldn't even get on the tutorial site! ;) I'll try again later.

Kim,

I hope you are able to get the link to work, the link already given takes you to the tut on 1 page,
this link
http://www.freeonlineclasses.net/photoshop-tutorials/photo-effects/tinted-color-bleach.html

takes you to page 1 of 3 pages of the same tut.
I try to give the link for tut's all on 1 page as being easier to follow than needing lots of tabs/screens open.

I didn't have any problems with it when I found it, then yesterday when I posted, it wouldn't load once, then it was perfectly fine. So I'm not sure what is happening with intermittent faults.

hth,
Lisa

PS I just watched the Seinfeld back to front episode the right way round, it was late the other night when I watched, so I'd just watched the deleted scenes as an extra not the whole episode - so thanks for mentioning that :D

Kim, I copied the link and pasted into Firefox and then it worked great.

It's basically 2 steps...

1) Create a hue/sat adj layer..colorize. If you want sepia, use 25/25/0 as your settings, otherwise, play with colors.
2) Set the blend mode of the adj layer to SCREEN.

That's all there is to it!

Tony - LOVE your flower!

sorry I am late commenting :o, I intended to do so, then ended up thinking I had already done so ......

Toni - I like both of those. I'm glad the timezone of my posting the challenge works out for you :).
The image of Chelsea is lovely!

Bayla - I can't decide between those, both are great. Very pretty edges too.

Martha - that makes for a lovely vintage look.

Seachelle - I like the lines in this image, and it does look like it has had a preset applied.

Tammy - a nice aged look to the bridge.

Bill - I had to look at this for a while to work it out (ie the perspective), it's great. The tones are really cool.

Val - a pretty scene and it suits the bleached look.

mks - love the tones you got.

Clara - works a treat on the lily, very delicate. The building looks fantastic, very atmospheric.

Kim - a lovely photo and I really like the effect on it.

Sepiana - a very pretty church and nicely vignetted.

Tony - the poppy is gorgeous, I can imagine a whole cornfield filled with them.

Kim - that is great and the grunge border definitely suits it.

Ellen - wow, that is magic! there's definitely something going on there :eek::D

Marylou - yes, it can sometimes be tricky to find an image that suits the technique. And what happens sometimes to me is that I try a tut and it looks fine on the pics I try, then the next day I have the opposite happen and can't find anything I like. Hope you find some results you like better with week 33.
