Figment I love the panoramic photos. Did you stich them or just size them that way? They look great!

Thanks! I guess I stitched them, although that implies more work than I did. One of the rare simple-to-use tools in Photoshop is "auto-align layers", which stitches and distorts based on perspective. Then I clicked "auto-blend layers" which gets the colors correct between the layers. After that, I cropped the pictures so they didn't have weird jolting edges. All told, it took me like 15 seconds to make those.

Wow! I'll have to see if they have something similar in PSE 5.0. Thanks!

Thanks Eagles, I'll try that.
It's a little different in CS3 (under the "layer" menu). Let me know if you need any assistance finding it!
Here is my Dinoland, USA layout. It took a while to make, but mostly because I was tinkering around with things and lost a lot of work when Photoshop "performed an illegal operation" and had to close in the middle of my work. Twice. Lesson learned: save progress often.

:lol: at those pictures!!! Too funny!!
This is supposed to be luggage with stickers on it. It might be hard to tell that that is what it's supposed to be, but I still think it looks cool.

That's great Figment. I think it looks like luggage but if you could put two luggage straps behind the pictures, it would look even more like luggage.

The luggage page is great! I at first thought they were postcards, but I can see that they're stickers since they're "peeling" off on some edges. I think it's a great effect! Well done.
Does the Chinese one really say something...?

those are great as usual, figment! I really love the dino one. I like how you have the fastpasses behind the sign.

Figment, as always, I am so in awe of you!
Your pages are amazing!
I agree that luggage straps would help you get the look you're going for on the sticker page.
And on the Main Street page...I think the two things that help give all your pages a special look are missing...picture framing and the unique backgrounds you always do so well.
Certainly, I'm not criticizing. Your pages are awesome!

Thanks for all the feedback, I'm glad you all like the two pages from yesterday! I can't (well, I could) add luggage straps under the stickers because the straps should be above the stickers, if anywhere, and I think the page is bordering on cluttered as it is (not to mention, making straps would be very difficult via photoshop). Since the only setting people will be seeing this book in is me showing it to them, I can simply tell them the concept as I flip through. But that is a good idea of how I could establish that it's luggage!!!
The Chinese one says "China" in some weird "oriental-like" font I found online.
Here's the first layout of today--Tomorrowland:

More great memories. I love how you used the fast passes in there.

You're right Figment the straps would go on top of the stickers. It still looks great. I really like the Tomorrowland page too.
These two layouts took me a while to make--not because they're good or have time-intensive techniques or anything, but because I was dead-set on getting this background. It's from my 1982 EPCOT Center book, and it takes up two pages in the book. So after I scanned in each page in high res., I had to go back and paint over the seam in the middle of the book. I didn't do a great job at it, but it still took a while. Hopefully you can't notice too much!

I can't see the seam at all, well maybe I can kind of guess where it is, but it is not noticeable. I like how the background is alittle bit busier so you made the frames simpler, just a solid color. It looks really nice. Where did you get that neat epcot logo?
Thanks! It was on a shirt for sale at Epcot. Like so many other times that trip, I got really close to it and took a picture.
