Edges and borders

More busy-ness with the courses that I am taking.  Which is great.  I have been learning about adding borders and edges to my pictures.  It's a good job that I am taking notes as I am watching these lessons because I would never remember all the steps.  The old brain just can't cope with all this information anymore!!!

These two pics, of a window in Arles, show two different edge effects.  One with a blurred edge and the other with a more solid line around the edge of the image.  They are also both set into a white border (not sure if that will show up once I have hit the 'publish' button.  I notice that Google puts a bit of a border around posted pictures anyway, so this might be a two for one!  We'll see.)

I have also started using a Intuos Pro tablet for my Photoshop work and am trying out using it for all my computering.  It's interesting and a bit of a learning curve....one sort of throws out the mouse and goes for it.  It means that one simply places the cursor where one intends to start typing or working an effect.  Some things are a bit awkward, but I can see that in the long run, especially with Photoshop, things will move along a lot more quickly.  And soon, efficiently, I hope!!!

And one more, just so you know it's not all about just windows!!

With this one I played with the lighting as well.  So much to learn!!!

But it's great fun, and as long as I can remember what it is that I have been doing, hopefully I'll remember where to find the information again should I want to repeat any of these steps!!!  Never a dull moment!!  It's all good.

I'll be back.
