@dibzgreasley Thanks Debs! Neither do I! @prttblues Thank you Bev! @jackie8 Thank you Jackie! Yes, they were definitely the friendly type! @maggiemae Thank you Maggie! Well, here's the account the best I can remember: Drew the ghosite costumes on white paper with black ink. Cleared off the marble top chest of drawers (favorite shooting spot next to the kitchen sink!) and set the critters up. I had to tape the costumes on them as the kept slipping down! Took the shot and uploaded. Once in Smart Photo Editor, I searched around for smoothing spooky but not gruesome and found the "magic" application. It turned all the positive white space to black and the darker areas to white, but I liked it. I felt it needed a little color after that though, so I found a gradiated filter in different blues and put it over the top, then added the frame and the ghostly effect was complete. Truly less complicated than it sounds or reads. And thanks so much for the fav!! @digitalrn Thanks Rick! @alia_801 Thank you Alia! Yes, very cute! @eudora Thank you Diane! @kerristephens Thank you Kerri! @taffy Thank you Taffy! @thistle Thank you Joyce! @susale Thank you Suse! @salza Thank you Sally! @ceilidh Thank you Margaret! @pyrrhula Thank you Pyrrhula and thank you so much for the fav! @janiskay Thank you Janice! @daisymiller Thank you Daisy!
@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole! This was a fun one when the processing took off. Do you have Halloween like we do there? Actually for me it is not such a great holiday. I do hand out candy to the neighborhood kids, but it has lost most of its innocence from when I was a little girl. Today the blood and guts are way to realistic.
@yaorenliu Thank you Yao! Well... here's how I explained it to Maggie:
