Quick doodle in Photoshop…

Here there be…

I had an idea for a map based on the ‘theme of the month’ over on John Howe’s website. However instead of writing the story down I decided it would be good to see what the map looked like…

Now I’ve spent so long drawing the map I no longer remember what I was going to write :-/

The Hummingpea

Bit of an ‘arty’ manipulation of a sweet pea photograph I took this morning.

Sunsets and Stained Glass

Yesterday I took a few photographs of the Sun as it set behind a small Oak tree, but as I was tired I decided to leave the photographs until this morning to sort out. So, this morning I uploaded the photographs to the computer and looked at the thumbnails.

As I browsed the thumbnails I was struck by how much they reminded me of stained glass, with that thought lodged somewhere in my head I brought up photoshop and started to play, until I created a ‘Sunset Stained Glass’.

There are not many photographs this would work with really, but I quite like the effect this one gave. Here is the original photograph for comparison.

Photoshop Frenzy

Sometimes tweaking an image in Photoshop gets a bit out of hand, but in the end I quite liked the result

While I was playing with this image I wondered what other images I should have tweaked a little bit more or maybe I should just delete Photoshop from this computer for a while

Adobe mathematics

Today I received an email from Adobe offering Photoshop CS5 at a discount price, nothing unusual there really, Adobe like many other companies send out offers on email quite regularly. So, being in need of the full version of Photoshop I went to check out the offer. They had indeed applied a good discount to the full version and so I thought, rather than look at the outright purchase price why not check out the cost to upgrade my current version (Elements 7) after all upgrading is always cheaper….

Is it just me or do the maths no longer add up? It would cost £230 more to upgrade an existing version than to buy a full version outright :-/ still, I’m often confused by software prices, and I still can’t afford the discounted price – one day…
