I'm on it.

Actually, the picasa link isn't working, and I need the original cuz the resolution is too low, and the vig is too, uh, viggy.
April 18th, 2012
I'm too tired. If you want to do it, Photoshop is the program to use.
April 18th, 2012
I'm totally just talking to myself here.
April 18th, 2012

@grizzlysghost Looove David Thorne. I just reread that the other day, and shared his site with half of my office. My favorite is the housewarming party.

@gurry I've read his book and blog a dozen times and it cracks me up every time! Simon's pie charts, 10 complaints, there's just so much WIN!

dragon sitting
April 19th, 2012
@grizzlysghost OMG, that is HILARIOUS!
April 19th, 2012
I applied Gaussian blur and a 4x6 crop.. Quick job, but it gets the idea across.
Although the crop might be enough.

@tryeveryday Michelle, I just came across him one day whilst surfing and bought his book; terribly funny! The best part is, he stays funny no matter how many times I read his stuff! :)

Sue
In photoshop, make a selection, invert it, then filter, blur, guasian blur:

April 19th, 2012
@michellina Glad you like it. These threads are such fun. Maybe someone can add the dragon to a suitable scene
April 19th, 2012
@michellina Dragon in the park for you. I think I'd rather see dragons than swans ;-)

@scooter and anyone else interested in learning photoshop skills, just for information, I dont stand to gain anything by saying this: I didn't know anything about photoshop before I did my Open University photography course. The course came with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and sort of told me how to do some stuff but I felt I didnt really know what I was doing. Then I saw Sharons work @twinsplusone she told me she had done Kim Klassons Essentials course. That was enough for me, I up graded to Elements 10 and signed up for Kims next Essentials class there and then, and I'm very glad I did. Sharon and I are both doing Kims Beyond Layers course too, I haven't paid it much attention this last two weeks as I had an assignment to write but the beauty of it is it goes on for a year so I can dip in as and when. Kim has some free video tutorials on her site so you can see her style. She makes it so that even technically challenged people like me can follow along. http://www.kimklassencafe.com/photoshopecourses/
You can buy permanent access to the Essentials course, I didn't but I'm kinda wishing I did as my memory isn't so good, my 12 year old son helps me when I forget or get confused with my photoshop layers but sometimes he doesnt want to help, not even if I bribe him with chocolate.
April 19th, 2012
Wow thanks for all the explanation, very informative.
April 19th, 2012
@suebarni Wow thank you so much for all of the information!
