Photoshop CS3 Layouts

Thanks!

Here's where I picked up the technique: http://www.elated.com/articles/fading-one-image-into-another/ Pretty simple, actually. Takes some fussing to get perfect, though.

Well done!

I love your character spot page! The picture of you two with chip and dale is really cute. I love the pose!

In case you're wondering why I haven't posted anything here since getting back from my WDW trip, I haven't forgotten about it, I've just been extremely busy. It's getting close to finals time (and Christmas, thankfully!), so things are getting hectic.

Here are my latest pages:

I'm not wild about the picture quality in this one. I was messing with camera settings on this trip, and that was obviously a mistake.

This is another story. I love this layout. The currently empty space will have the GF logo. the background is a high res photo I took of the GF wallpaper.

Here are some quick 'composite' layouts I made for different months of a calendar I ordered for our families. None of these will make it into the photobook, but the pictures will (I like to go by subject, these are more oriented on certain calendar 'months').

Figment you got engaged!!!! That is so great!! I love that layout especially. You guys on the beach watching fireworks - that is an awesome picture.

Congratulations!!

Those are really great pages, figment. For some reason I especially love the mama melrose page, I really like the top of that one. Nice job! Oh, I do really like the grand floridian one, too. I love the border you put around your pictures on that one. It's so great seeing all the characters dressed up.

Really? Mama Melrose? I'm still thinking about changing the background (the grey just isn't very...happy). But I'm not going to mess with that anytime soon. Around Christmas break I should start to make a few layouts a day.

Yea, I really love the mama melrose one. I love the banner at the top and how you use the same colors on your picture mats. I like the grey, too.

HOLY COW, you got engaged! congrats to both of you, you are a reall cute couple.

i love the fireworks page.

MY Country Bear Christmas Special (was seeing the bears) in lieu of WDW not giving me the real thing...

 

[mouselvrmom]

I really like that one, too. I love the pinecone borders and the country bear logo.

 

[Disneyfalcon]

I like the pinecone borders and your hats!

 

[BSikor]

I love all of these. Its a really great idea!

And congratulations on your engagement! I wish you both many years of happiness!

Figment - your pages are great!!! They have really inspired me to work on some of my own digitally.

Keep them coming!

My last final was today, so now, after a 19 day layoff, I opened Photoshop again. These pictures were out of focus, so I picked I learned how to sharpen them a bit. Some still aren't great, so I'll probably tinker with the process a bit more.
