Get Pushed Challenge 501
My get pushed partner challenged me to capture 'opposites.' I decided to do this using photoshop. I inverted the one image (which was a composite) then put the two images together. Because I don't use PS everyday and am not sure that I've ever inverted the colors in a photo before this was a bit of a trial and error process. I get befuddled and ahead of myself so have to delete layers to do something to a bottom one and then repeat what I just deleted. Big fun and a good learning too.

The saxaphone image is courtesy of iStockphoto.com | Ljupco which I got off the web page https://nafme.org/how-jazz-and-the-civil-rights-movement-intertwine/
@salza Thanks for the challenge. It was big fun.

I don't understand any of that but the result is good

I think I am with @kjarn on this one. I don't have PS so more power to you for all you do with it! FAV

Very clever. I like the way you did that.

Well done Kathy! Your willingness to learn new things in camera or in post-processing always impresses me!

@kjarn Thanks Kathy. essential I took the first photo (which is a photo on top of another one) and changed the blacks to white and whites to black. Put them together on another layer to form a single photo.
@grammyn Thanks Katy. See what I wrote to KathyA above.
@shutterbug49 Thanks you Debbie.
@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. I appreciate your support.

I just don’t get all that editing talk. My skills are straighten, crop and convert to black &white πŸ˜‚

@randystreat you make it sound simple

I have used PS regularly for several years and their are still things that befuddle me. It is a massive and complicated program. Good for you for making a concerted effort to learn it. You have done a good job here.

Great creative edit.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie. Once I settled on my subject I had a good time.
@kjarn It's fun. Turns many of my photos from "snapshots" to something a bit more artistic. Some of my photos can't be helped by PS.
@grammyn I was just trying to explain the process in a more understandable manner.

@salza Thank you Sally.
@cdcook48 Thank you Chris. Every time they do an upgrade they change the process just a bit too. Making it that much more difficult I think.
@brillomick Thank you Mickey. The notes are off a piece of scrapbooking paper I bought several years ago. They make nice backgrounds.
@wakelys Thank you Sue.
