Jessica Sprague and Lessons 4, 5, and 6

I had to play catch up with my Photo Editing: Frame-ups and Special Effects class at JessicaSprague.com, Ekkkk

Lesson 4 - Clipping Mask (In this case I added the photo to a blue frame)

(Wordart is from Elegantwordart.com)

Michael had his arms out and was pretending to either be a plane or a bird...lol.

Lesson 5 - Textures (I used the same photo above but turned it Black and White and then added a few textures to it)

Lesson 6 - TTV

"Through the Viewfinder". To get a worn, faded look, photographers will actually take photographs (often using a macro lens and a light blocking device) through the viewfinder of an old camera. The result is a photo with blackened edges, distortion, scuffs and scratches and marks. We used TTV photos and layered them and then worked our magic, lol...Take the class to find out more.....Below is my attempt!
I've been out of the Art/photography world to long this is all new to me....But I'm learning new things and leaving my comfort zone, Ekkkk!
I always liked playing in the DarkRoom so I suppose I can play around in PSE 7 too!
