High Noon Crop and Challenge

Okay, this is my first High Noon Crop and Challenge. I choose two photos I took in Venice, at a glass blowing shop, which I just love the look of.

 

First, after adjusting the photo in the raw converter to my liking, I opened the image in ps cs3. Click the fill and adjustment layer icon (circle filled with half black and half white on bottom right of photoshop) and choose black and white when the selections pop up. Try using auto and then adjust the photo using the sliders until you see what you like.

 

I added a layer mask (rectangle filled with a circle on bottom right of ps) to cover the image and then painted on a mask with a black brush only where I wanted the color to show through. (If you make a mistake you can switch the forground color to white and paint over it to take it back to black and white.

 

Then I started to put my page together. I added the background and photos, then added my titles and words to the page.

Taking one of the titles I lowered the opacity and enlarged it to use as a background for the whole page. After I had all of the wording the way I liked it I duplicated the quote and paragraphs twice to make it darker and easier to see the words. I opened another paper and adjusted the color and size. Rotated it until I liked it and then I added a bracket and changed it with a style. Added drop shadows and That was it.

It took longer for me to type out what I did than make the page, lol!

 

Hope you like it.

I LIKE it Rosemary! What a wonderful memory. I've seen Videos of Dale Chihuly at his glass blowing shop so this is a wonderful addition to see :)
