I created this pulsating text effect (left) by following a tutorial on:
http://www.pixilver.com/tutor_pulse1.html

This is a photo of my daughter, Grace. I gave it a feathered edge.

See my tutorial for this.

Feathered Grace

Below I have given the picture a sculptured look by going to Image>Effects>Sculpture on the PSP menu bar. Looks like a different photo was used! Scary eh?!!

Buttonized Mikey

On the left is a picture of my son Mikey. I've buttonized it by going to Image>Effects> Buttonize.

Here I have selected Mikey with the Freehand Selection Tool and then changed the background colour by going to Selections >Invert (which selects everything but Mikey) then I used the floodfill tool to colour the selected background.
I then inverted again and added a drop shadow by going to Effects> Drop Shadow. I added some text on his T-Shirt and used the Deformation Tool to change it's appearance.

These are my first attempts at using
a graphics program I got free on a
cover disc - Vue d'Esprit 2.

Below is an image I made using lots of layers and applying different effects to each one, like Sunburst (Effects>Illumination Effects), Cut Out (Effects>3D Effects), Ripple (Effects>Geometric Effects), etc. I also lowered the Layer Opacity for some of the layers in the Layers palette. I then selected a rounded rectangle and inverted this selection (Selections>Invert) and filled the selection with a woody pattern. I selected the rounded rectangle again then added some Drop Shadow (Effects>3D Effects).

Barge View

Below, I have given a photograph of Grace a watercolour look.
