Just bought ps 3

[kev1e]

Decide to upgrade to elements 3 i have read alot of mixed feed back on the organiser but decide to take the plug. I also would like to hear from people who have subscribe to this site as am considering doing so.

The subscription is definitely worth the money, even for us on this side of the pond who pay $72 instead of $49...

The subscriber area is where the new material is added regularly, plus you get the 8 copies of the magazine a year and access to the competitions, free downloads, offers etc...

Look at it this way, it's the price of a couple of decent books - but the site gets constantly updated...

I took a 1 year subscription out and I am very pleased with it - so much so that I wish I'd taken a two year one out and save some ££.

On Organizer, some people like it, others don't. Now I've got to grips with it, I am using it successfully. There is nothing wrong with the software, it's down to person choice. But as Jodi said in another post not using Organizer isn't a reason against buying PE3.

To true!

Did i see a post about you making denim background sounds interesting how did you do it?

[Jodi Frye]

texture baby, texture :lol:
from what I remember...

blue color fill layer>filter>texture>texturizer>canvas>lighting'bottom left"....less than default 4 for height and less than 100 %

Duplicate layer>motion blur 90° just a bit.

I only say duplicate the layer cause you might want to lower the opacity of the motion blur layer or experiment with blend modes. I'm a duplicate layer addict.

I fiddled alot with that particular pattern to get it to look right. so I probably missed a few key steps....sorry :(

[Jodi Frye]

I just went back into pe to see if I could quickly recreate the denim..I remember the key I missed now...I had applied the 'woven' pattern from ps6 image ready to the second motion blur layer. If anyone wants it just mail me.

Cool effect time to play around with it.

Thanks

[Jodi Frye]

way cool !

oh, you can use this same image as a texture for it...load it from texturizer the same way and apply it to the original...blow your socks off. Any image can be used over original to add 3d texture.
