I have Painter IX, not photoshop, which I got very cheaply on ebay... <BR/><BR/>Nan - the image over the beach was taken a few days ago whilst playing around with my new camera - it can do time lapse so I set it up and took lots - that way I thought a few might come out with my eyes open - but the focus was a bit soft and the exposures rather long too... I'd been playing with some settings and forgotten to set them back to auto!<BR/><BR/>In painter IX you can set images to be transparent and I did fade the beach shot too.<BR/><BR/>Cream - thanks - your collages are great!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-1136421324737477692006-01-05T00:35:00.000+00:002006-01-05T00:35:00.000+00:00Caro, great idea!

I'd like to try something like this, and I think I know how to do the layering of one image on top of another, but I don't know how you did the face superimposed over the beach with the beach showing through (that's my favorite picture of you in the collage, too). Is that something you did in Painter? Then, do you save it as a jpeg? I do lots of creative stuff in Print Shop that I have no idea how to post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-1136416754069491012006-01-04T23:19:00.000+00:002006-01-04T23:19:00.000+00:00Good to see the face(s) behind the blog.
