You look so beautiful, relaxed & natural. Not at all like you are trying to look sexy which usually just looks silly. You know the face all the girls make on the cover of maxim. These were so elegant.

I'd take out the lunch on thursday or make sure it says "optional" in bold. Right in the middle of the day it would make it hard to do anything else. It doesn't leave them a full day to go on an excursion.

It looks so vibrant, almost unreal. I really like that you left the water blue. I have started to play with some beach pictures, but it's such a shame to make turquiose water grey. I'll try it again, but this time leave the water in color.

I've heard to take pictures of what you want done incase the stylist doesn't speak english. I planned on learning some spanish before my wedding, but I haven't gotten started yet.

I'm sure their is a special pen you can buy, hmm maybe go to a scrapbook store and ask them, I'm sure they will know what to use. I'm thinking about remaking the book, so this one could be my test copy. I've been playing around with photoshop lately & think I could do much cooler stuff with my pictures. I'm also considering buying lumapix & then I can make my books much nicer. I rushed to make this one because I had a free book coupon about to expire. But now I have a bunch of ideas of how to make it better.

Quote: Originally Posted by TammyB Looks great.. Have you tried to write on any of the pages yet with a pen? I know some paper is hard to write on.. great idea! I'll give it a try & let everyone know. I'll have to figure out what I can write without messing up the book. I imagine a thin tip sharpie would work. I'll check it out when i get home.

Yep, it's one of those things where I could have stayed up past midnight playing with it. My fiance has things he also gets hooked on & stays up too late so we had to set a bedtime. So I had to shut down photoshop at 10:30pm.

I used the piant brush in photoshop to paint the background black & white. It got a little trickier in tight places. I plan on testing out the different methods. I read the layer method is better, but I haven't gone through the steps of how to do it yet. It was getting too late & I needed to go to sleep. I'm excited to play around with more pictures today.

OK I changed mine a little with my current new hobby- removing color from the background.

as soon as i post them I see a little piece of color I left behind.

one more. This is pointe du hoc in normandy france.

OK i did it! I'm so excited to have a new skill! I can't wait to uncolor a bunch of pictures.

I don't know if that tutorial has the best way to do it. They are basically painting the flower pink. That wouldn't work for pictures with people that would be hard to color in the right shade.

I like this one

Monday, January 02, 2006 Color-Pop: Another Easy Tutorial Another Dadgum Stinking Blog: 01/01/2006 - 02/01/2006 OK I found some instructions. I'm going to play with doing this tonight.

I found this on the knot as an example of what I'm trying to do.

How do you create pictures that are black & white with some color? Often they will be all black & white except the flowers will have color. Do you make a black & white picture & then color the flowers? Or do you remove color from everything else except the flowers? I think I've seen a tool to do this on a program, but I've never played with it.
