Oh, Vaughnde - that was SO NICE of you to make this post. I need to figure out how to make my links as "clean" as yours....one day, maybe when I'm really stumped and can't scrap!

Anyway, I went ahead and worked on another version with an OOB effect - I'd love to hear comments advice! (see version #3 in "Help, I'm Stuck" - should be right before the link Vaughnde posted - anyone feel free to post the other link and PM me w/step by step on the way to do that "neatly")

SCRAPGIRLS ROCKS!!!

Hi Karina,

I had to ask for instructions on posting the links into replies. Joy very graciously sent me these instructions and now I use it all the time. Even during the chats.



1. when you have the layout chosen, highlight the URL where it says up at the top http://.......... whatever it says. You just put your cursor there and it should highlight it for you.

2. Use CTRL key and C which will copy the URL.

3. Go back to the reply on the Share the Love Game or this works on any forum reply. Even these.

4. Up at the top you see the little boxes b i U and so forth. The 6th one from the left is a little green plus sign. Click on that little green plus sign and a little box will drop down and you do CTRL V in the box. Hit enter and it will pop up again and allow you type in the name. You can actually use the name typed in or type in CLICK HERE or whatever you want and we should be able to click it and go to it.

5. Hit Add Reply and its a done deal.


I hope that helps.

I use CS3. I'm not familiar with the differences between the two programs. What I do know is that blurring the background to make the foreground subject stand out sometimes referred to "depth of field". It can be done on PS. I suspect it can also be done on Elements.

I wanted to achieve this effect on a photo so I googled "photoshop depth of field" and came up with a couple of wonderful tutorial sites.

I found this video tutorial for Elements Here is the link.

I'm not sure if it will make sense. I use this technique in CS3 for many things.

I hope this helps.

Was this reply supposed to be posted on another topic?? It doesn't seem to make sense....

Thanks so much for the instructions on how to "link" - I will refer to them, too!!

Oops, I combined my replies into one area. I'll have to check my threads more carefully. I must be getting holiday haze early.

Thanks for pointing it out.
