Here's your picture, Melissa.

Subscribe to see EXIF info for this image (if available)

You need to add .jpg to it, highlight it, and then press the [image] radio button. That will add the proper code to it.

Btw, very nice Photoshop effects :lol:

Melissa -

Very nice. Are you willing to share how you accomplished this? This is great!

Hi Mellissa,

Very nice «nature morte» and nicely presented too. You are up to your reputation. If you care share how you accomphised this, it will profit all of us.

Hopes we can exchange our technical knowledge because artistically and creatively manipulating images in PS is one of my favortites hobbies.

My respects.

How nice to finally view one of your images. I like it and hope to see many more. Of course like the others I could profit by you sharing how you accomplished that.

Hi,

think you all read her post a tad wrong. That is Erick N. His painting. He has a quite a nice thread on the retouching forum. He is a really good artist.

Cheers
Gale

PS: Melissa is very talented in this art also.

Hi Gale, unless I am reading it wrong, someone gave Melissa a picture to work on and the above image is the result of her retouching work.

Hi David,

Erick in retouching provided us a picture of a bowl of fruit so I used a sketch action from Dave Jaseck and then used the smudge tool on it and last, I put a frame around it.

Thank you for asking,

Melissa

Hi Dao,

Hi Gordon and Frank (flew)

Thank you for the compliments. I will have to post a sketch I did of my daughter that my family loved. That will be next.

Any help I can give you on retouching, let me know. I can help you add beautiful skies and contrast, sharpness. There are many ways of doing this other than with PS that make it look better. All you need to do is ask.

AWWWWWW Sorry about that Melissa.

Thought Erick had done it. His name was on botton.

(Rightly so) duh

I sure must have missed that thread. I frequent there alot.

That is really beautiful.......

Forgive me.
I do know you do great work.

Guess I will have to give it a look see.

Since this forum and our Florida shoot, haven't been over in Retouching as much.

Thank You

Regards
Gale

Erick only provided the bowl of fruit and ask that we come up with ideas. The only reason I put his name in the frame was because he provided the bowl of fruit.

If you are interested, I can get the link for you. Erick liked mine so much that he downloaded the original size from my pbase. Made me fell all warm and fuzzy insided.

Gayle, you will have to come visit us again soon. Just about the only forum I enjoy over on DPR. Sure I visited Nikon but now much since I got my D2X.
