Fun with Photoshop

[treynor]

Suppose you have a nice image, but a cluttered background. What to do, what to do?

1. Select the background, and remove some detail. Glowing Edges filter works nicely.
2. Create the illusion of movement to focus attention. Motion blur on the background, and radial blur on the wheels, serves this purpose.
3. Voila! Your spouse is driving 120 MPH in a residential zone

Ok, here goes, at the risk of sounding, and most likely proving just how "computer challenged" I truly am, what is this photoshop everyone keeps talking about?? How do you get it, and use it?

Photoshop is a picture-editing program published by Adobe. It runs about $600, and is considered the reference standard for such software on personal computers. As for how to use it -- there are books which teach the basics (I recommend "Inside Adobe Photoshop" by Bouton & Bouton) but facility takes a fair bit of practice as well.

Nice picture.

I like animation myself.

Here it is in motion.

More fun with Photoshop (Do we have too much time on our hands, or what?)
I borrowed one of Mike's Extreme Bikini Team Members (originally posed next to a white GTS) and "posed" her next to my car.
The second one is my car with a patriotic background.

You can get a cheaper shareware product which is almost as good as Photo Shop and about 1/8th the price, it's called Paint Shop Pro.

Does anybody want to explain to the Viperess what a "shareware product" is?
