Hi all, Just stopping in for my weekly visit. Needless to say I don't have time to commend your talents individualy, just know that each of you brighten my day with your creative works.
I do have a question for the group. If you don't mind stating, what type of editing programs do you use most, and do you have an out come in mind for a finished product? I use mostly the freebies available and just play Hit & Miss until I end up with something I like, so it's kinda like a crap shoot. :mrgreen:
So here's some results

I'm glad that you have addressed this issue as I have the same problem.....I just fiddle around with small programs and see what comes out in the end. This is enjoyable anyway, but I have been wondering what everyone else uses.

I like them all, but #3 looks most authentic.
I use photoshop Elements 8 sometimes I have something very specific in mind...like when I put the faces in the sunflower or make the quilts.
I also use Windows live...for very quick fixes and Picasa for collages
Sometimes I just play and see what happens

William: Your prose is great!
Creative simon: I am glad you got a laugh!! Thanks for the compliments. I know time zones are easy to confusemy daughter is in Japan so that is one way and I couldnt remember from my working days what my cue was for calling the European factories. After I posted I remembered that we could call Germany at 7am and it would be just before they were going home. You are getting extremely creative on dancing. Colors and patterns are beautiful!
Tooth Maker: Pictures and art speak louder than wordsyou have spoken!!
RiverNan: I am glad you are enjoying the posts!! I admit some of the colors have gotten a little vivid.
JENNIFER: The purple flower is great! I hope you get time to slow down and enjoy the smell.
VINNIE: You are doing fine with whatever you are using; however, I use the following Photoshop CS6 for my major editing. You can easily get by with PS Elements. I use Corel X5 for special edits and actually started the PP originally with its predecessors. It got to where there were some things it would not do. I use it now for my base special effects. Then I use Smart Photo Editor for special color edits and it is a great (economical) program. I also am trying GIMP (free) and am using some of its special effects. I use several other very specialized programs but they are expensive and totally unnecessary for this thread. The wild color edits that I have been doing are X5 with the KPT filters and then SPE. The spinning globes are that plus GIMP.
Cyan: Thanks for the compliments. Dont apologize about seeing facesI get a kick out of what you see in the image. Each of us sees different things so I value what everyone sees.
Pgl: Pam, thank you for the nice words. I appreciate all your commenting. Your post today is beautiful!
Bb gun: I love your hairy type posts. I dont know how you are doing them but they are great. I also like what you have done with the bridge and road scene. And the horse portrait is great.
Clasina46: I answered your question in the answer to VINNIE. Hope that helps.

Thank you Simon and Nan. (pg. 105)
Andrew, the download is amazing!
Hi Vinnie, I also use a variety of programs . Corel X5, Smart Photo Editor, Gimp, Photo Impact 12. Sometimes I set up and shoot with an idea in mind. Sometimes things take on their own life.- I really like your last one. :thumbup:
Simon, She dances in the Wood is stunning!! I see her,seriously great work!
Pam, pretty purple flowers!
Did you arrange them that way?
bb gun , I'm really liking your use of pastels!
The simplicity of your last one does it for me... (and the sandy color... hahahah)
Swede, thank you. We were at the Children's Hospital in New Haven today. Not the best news.
Your last is my fav. in this set. I see you softened the colors..... it works ...but I always love the vibrancy of your work.
William, sometimes the old favs. are the best.
Cyan, beautiful. Looks like melting silk. Funny, I was just playing with something similar.
I See You

Hi Swede, the last in your posts today is great, lovely lines and soft colors, very calming.
It's a shame about the time zones, when you are all posting I am asleep and when I post you are at work or busy and when I comment, You are asleep. Still we can do nothing about it less I move haha.
