(^-^)<br /><br />I'm now more than encouraged to plunge deeper into this medium. Although a friend of mine thinks that I shouldn't switch sides to digital and stick to traditional ways instead. Apparently, he believes that it's too easy!! Well, my wrist was awfully sore for a while after doing this image and my eyes saw everything double...So, definitely NOT an easy medium, but bad for the health! Hahahaha!!!<br /><br />Thanks again all!!

...Heh lifted this from a forum I infrequent .... <br /><br />"As a rule, when you need to "brighten" ..... (snip) use a screen, soft light, lighten, linear dodge blending mode. When you need to "darken" (ambient occlusion pass etc.) use the multiply or darken <br />mode. Overlay does both (darken where it’s dark and lighten where it’s bright)." <br /><br />sounds about right?<br />what thinks yourself?<br /><br />cheese from oz :)Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630731538113577852.post-81332118994514842952010-09-02T21:23:30.774+07:002010-09-02T21:23:30.774+07:00She is just beautiful, I think you did a wonderful...She is just beautiful, I think you did a wonderful and very professional-looking job in Photoshop!

I love the golden hue surrounding the lady and that she is a redhead, because I'm one too! ;-)<br />I also like the Japanese influence in your work. My very favourite book is 'Memoirs of a Geisha'. It is captivating. The film was lovely as well.

Okay wow. Did I say that. You know the halo is a grande touch, gives us that glow. The 'pencil' work on its own is superb, so soft delicate refined but sure (gottabigheadyet?).<br /><br />Yes this is blody good stuff. As well as the last one. As my teacher used to say it's a turning point perhaps.<br /><br />You know I've been mucking round with photoshop elements serioulsy for a while. I just use multiply soft light overlay and colour in the main. Best thing to do is select the little window which has the eg 'overlay' parameter written in it. Then push the up and down buttons on the keyboard and the ps will run through all the paraameters and you can see what difference each makes. <br /><br />cheese from oz<br /><br />back to exile :)Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630731538113577852.post-47839241918835417882010-09-02T04:42:58.340+07:002010-09-02T04:42:58.340+07:00Very sweet.

Very cool!..and I can see why... you really took to PS like a caterpillar to a squash leaf. This is so beautiful. I can't believe you are "just experimenting"It is fun just playing around with all the tools. Like you, I was a little confused by the mode names. I thought overlay was when I was doing artwork between flights :o) When I finally figured out the multiply... it was a dream come true for shadows and such.

It's wonderful to read...Hello lovely people!! <br /><br />It's wonderful to read your generous comments on my gibberish baby talk. Really, I worked with Photoshop very little during college and even after graduating. See, I've always been the conventional type and I never listened when people said that "technology doesn't bite". Stubborn that I am. Heheh. <br /><br />But I'm glad that my curiosity got the better of me and now I find it as a new wonderful playground to lose myself in. Although, I think it's best to try to incorporate your traditional skill with PS just to make sure that you don't get rusty with it.<br /><br />Again, thanks for soothing my heart with your kindness and inputs are always welcomed!! <br /><br />~ big hugs ~Dear Fireflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752902641518139618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630731538113577852.post-35785895245667067382010-08-31T00:50:51.649+07:002010-08-31T00:50:51.649+07:00aku tau kamu belom mandi.
