They turned out great! Really like that first one

I tried It a while ago, but It never turned out that well, I don't think I used a great Image to begin with!.... It really does look awesome though

[Kirislin]

I love it, no idea how to do it though, unless I buy the funny little camera.

[tlc]

well that proves how dopey I am then cause I dont know how to use photoshop

[redangel]

Ill sit in the corner with you Kirslin...I dont even have photoshop.

[Kirislin]

I tried to follow the instructions and I only got as far as making the lassoo and inverting it, but I didn't know how to create the levels layer, so I went down in a heap there.

They always assume a certain level of understanding, or perhaps intelligence, sigh

sorry nothing smart to say etc, but I did want to say . . .WOW that first photo really caught my eye, it is lovely. I really like the colours and focus etc.

[iltby]

Kirislin, I'll do a walk through for you a bit later today

Thanks Altheau! I was going for a sort of watercolour look there.

Awesome shots! Thanks for the tutorial - I haven't tried it before but I think I will now. Shame I don't have time this weekend!

[iltby]

Thanks guys It's really fun to see what effects you can make with it. I'll get onto that tutorial now and post it up.

[iltby]

Here we go, hope it helps-

ETA: One sec, wrong size

ETA: Ignore what my layer panel looks like.

Awesome tutorial iltby

I may give It another go now

Thanks for posting It

[Kirislin]

I haven't tried it yet, thanks for going to all that trouble Iltby. What I want to know is how the hell do people figure this stuff out in the first place?

Looks great

Has anyone ever used a Holga?

[Kirislin]

awww geeze, straight away mine doesn't look like that Iltby. I can click on layer at the top of the page and it gives me all different options, new, duplicate, new fill, new adjustment, and then some of them have drop down boxes too, but it didn't look like your example. It's hard being born a computer dummy.

stop press, hang on, I might have found something, not under layer, but under window, gee doesn't that make sense, no wonder I am confused.

Nup false alarm, I am a computer dummy, it's offical. I ended up with a completely jet black page lucky I picked a photo that didn't matter, although I haven't saved it anyway.
