Fun in Post: Had a little post processing fun with these on the actual photo, as well as presentation...and as I am sharing I see potential for improvement on #2.

#2 is a clever and eye-catching presentation. What would you like to improve on that one, Diane?

i think a different background, other than plain white, might be more pleasing but it did not occur to me to try that possibility until i uploaded.

Ah yes. And that gives me an opportunity to link an old thread on mat colors:

Here are two that I did before I remembered Uuglypher's topic

Thank you, I will have to check that out. I think I like the red best. I often use the eye dropper and choose a color in the image, makes it quick and easy to try different colors.

The article really does a good job of showing the point! Thanks for sharing, I will give this more thought going forward.

Glad the article fit your topic!

I used the eye dropper and paint bucket for a single click fill - was pleased how well that worked (nice contrast to delineate). With the red I took the color from the mask. The green was a little bright, so after choosing from the mask, I opened the swatch and went with slightly more subdued.

Yep, I like to see all my options before I decide, makes it easy.

I love the second presentation also, Diane. The red background that Linda provided really sets it off well.

Thanks lensbaby. I do like the red also. I think I should have used better spacing as well to allow some red at the top and bottom. I did it on the fly, not much planning just play - next time tho.

One of the things I like to do when posting images to UHH,
is to change the background color to match the page color
of UHH.

To do this, use the following settings:

R=236
B=235
G=201

Guyserman gave an example a couple of days ago:

I did some dressing up on #2. Gave it a little more room at the top, bottom & right side. I put an off-white texture on the background to make it look like a sheetrock wall. I separated it into four images so I could give each one a drop shadow and make them look like they were hung individually. Hope you like it.

Thanks for the tip Rolk, that is a great idea. Nice work Guy, that makes me wish I had put space between the pictures but I like it.

You want more space? I'll give you some space. Since I had already created a layer for each one and I had saved my PSD file it was easy. I couldn't recreate the area covered by the overlap so I put them all in simple beveled frames to cover that up. I matched the frame color to the left edge of the pendant in each one.

Just to be perfectly clear, what I call a simple beveled frame is actually an inner beveled stroke outline. I think I had more fun than you did.
