I had an unusual subject for Texture Tuesday – my Suburban! We had freezing rain this morning, and my vehicle was completely iced over. This is actually a combination of two shots – one of the blue hood with a shot of the icy windshield laid on top as a texture at a low opacity.

And this was just for fun, and just cuz I could. I got the action for this from panosfx.com – it’s from a set called The BnBig Picture.

Here’s one more shot – a before and after of yesterday’s photo. Thanks to Melissa Bradfield for pointing me to the patch tool!! Whoohoo!

Fun stuff!

My sweet friend Nancy L. gave me Photoshop CS3!! What a blessing!! I’m so excited. I’ve spent all my “free” time lately learning to use it, and I never realized just how many options I’d have that I’ve never had before! I can’t wait to see how my photos turn out – when I take some shots worth practicing on.

For now, I’ve been playing with some actions that are available. This storyboard was made with a free action from CoffeeShop. What fun stuff! I like to do my own adjustments and tweaks to each photo, but actions can be so fun to mess with! The photos in this storyboard were unedited – just thrown into the collage.
