Vacation is just about over. We are having dinner with my grandson this evening who I haven't seen in a couple of years. He lives in Japan but goes to college in Tampa. I did take about 2,000 pictures and have been sending some new edits all along. I appreciate your keeping up with the thread. I now realize how important that is as I have tried posting on some other threads where the moderator doesn't follow through. The subjects are good but without followup, they quickly die.

Hi Swede, hope you enjoy the dinner with your Grandson tonight, I think Jen does a great job in your absence, you are very lucky having her to step into your shoes. Hope your vacation was a good one .

You are so right about follow up, that is why I gave up with other threads but made an exception last weekend and posted on another thread, somebody asked if I would be prepared to give a clue as to how I did my work, I replied and said I would be happy to post details the following evening, so I spent some 2-3 hours running through a work from base image to completion, put a message on the thread the following night to ask for advice if it was ok to put this set of pictures up or where else could I post them, Guess what NO Reply.

Funny the following night that clasina asked the same sort of question so I posted them on this thread and within 24 hours had a reply from clasina thanking me.

You have built a great thread here with a good group of people willing to share there knowledge which benefits us all.
Well done Swede

I use Photoshop but if you use a different programme sure you can find an equivalent filter etc
I took a handful of sweets and dropped them onto a light box and photographed them to get the base image

How do you do an egg (anybody?)

The way I do it is in GIMP>Filters>Animation>Spinning Globe. If you use a square picture you get a globe. If you do a picture with one dimension longer than the other you get an egg. The computer has to do a lot of computations so it takes a while. I usually fill in the background corners in Corel X5 or Photoshop. Any further questions let me know.

Here's some new ones for today.
