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.

Thanks for sharing that information, your work always impresses me. I've been using a few of the freebies, like Tuxpi, Pixler, Picassa, Gimp and just purchased Smartphoto Editor. I'm still learning to remember the differences between what each offers, but it sure is fun when I have the time.
your posts have reminded me of "picnik" and "pic resize" ill have to see if they are still on line. 2 of these frames are from paint shop 7.forget where the third one is from.

You made a smart decision. When you get going on SPE, you can stack edits so the quantity is infinite. Good luck. I haven't looked at Pixler--I think I tried Tuxpi some time ago. I may take a look at them again.

Seldom do I get an idea looking at an image but that one is the in my mind the key to the answer.

Second one is quiet effective. I'm not a fan of the kaleidoscope/geometric carpet design school. I find the ones that twist reality farm more interesting.

I really enjoyed doing this one,
but took a long while so may be it for the day
As the start for work is early in the morn
Simon - All the work you did on 'She dances in the wood' was worth it....it's beautiful! My thoughts on it keep flipping from a woman to a butterfly. The colors and the lines flow!
Thank you cyan, how about I call it 'Madame Butterfly' :D
It is a woman though in a winged top with her arms spread so I see why you see a butterfly, definitly human legs and not those of a butterfly :lol:

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
Thanks for sharing that info. I'm beginning to feel a bit more normal.
What's "nornal"? And I'm kinda proud I'm not.

Sooner or later all our works will look similar (NOT!!!!!!)
HEH...yeah I doubt that too :mrgreen:
I agree--there is no way that will happen. The field is so broad and varied that I just don't see that happening. I think we could all take the same base image and each have the same software and it still wouldn't have the same results.
Swede[/quote]
Right! And we would also do MANY different things with the same image & software. Sorry, I think I just said the same thing you did.

Hi Swede, That did cross my mind over a week ago to put a base image somewhere on UHH and see what effects others could do with it, bet the results would be very interesting.
The works we do will never look the same, impossible, and if I saw that happening I for one would change my style.
After all that's what it's all about in my view trying to be different, an individual, but will never happen anyway because we all have different styles and software
Like your world Jen
