digital magic and paris

it's hard to believe its been 8 weeks

since returning home from paris

i've been busy going through

the 5507 photos taken there

i'm about half way

(i'm working on a slide show

so far ....167 photos)

---------

i started my on-line class with

marie otero

called digital magic

the first weeks projects have been amazing

marie is an excellent teacher

i've gotten my moneys worth with

just the tips and tricks

above, one one the projects for class

using a clipping mask and tape texture

created by marie

photo needs no explanation

for this photo taken in montmartre

we learned how to desaturate

and to use a layer mask to hide/ reveal color

for this project, photo taken at versailles

we used several texture layers

a gradient map and the dodge tool

the sky was a little empty so i added the map

i'm so looking forward to week two
