letterbladeDay before yesterday--didn't post it because I forgot to email myself jpegs, and I was having a collapse that evening--I discovered Photoshop. They have it at work, and I had to do something for a postcard I was designing with Quark, so I decided to fool around a little and see what I could do.
Fear.
First thing I did: mildly photoshopping an old picture of me that a friend had photoshopped herself a bit back. Then, of course, I not so mildly photoshopped it.
Onto another old picture of me, from Halloween a few years back, which turned into the evil blue genie of doom. Still working on it, more-or-less, but I kinda like it.
Then I started seeing what I could do *just* with filters. No source image, no nothing, just the presets. Thus was born the star--that was the last of several variations, and the one most subject to color twiddling. And, of course, all stars go nova.
So that was my first photoshopping. Go, go, look at the shinies!
Earlier--much earlier in FWT, actually--I decided to teach myself Quark, which came fairly easily. And I should grab a screenshot of the very first thing I did in it, because I think it's impressive for a virgin outing. But in the meantime...
Why you should never leave me alone with the industry standard layout program.
