Ok first of for those of you who don’t know PSE is Photoshop Elements. Its a cheaper and more limited version of Photoshop but I like it a lot and really don’t think I need anything more.
I got another offer for a free canvas from Canvas People (you should really sign up for their e-mails) all I had to pay for was shipping. So I decided to do a Cooper ‘painting.’
I started with this picture:
Isn’t he cute?
I cropped it in and changed it to black and white.
Then I used the Palette Knife filter to make it look more like a painting. I would tell you my settings but that wouldn’t really help. Just play around till you like it.
To add that cute text I simply made a white box (box selection tool and paint bucket.) Then used the Drop Shadow-Hard Edge action to create the shadow on the bottom to make it stand out. Added text and I was done!
What do you think?
Your dog caught my attention! How cute, I see some Bichon here, right? Check out my blog if you favor the bichon’s. I blog about mine frequently. I also enjoy working with the photo editing programs. You can do so many creative things!
Too cute!! I’ll have to try out Canvas People!
