Thanks. The subject matter is overly familiar, so I had to come up with a novel approach.

Cool stuff ! Have not done any photo editing yet but I'd like to. What program did you use to do this ? Here is a tulip shot taken in the back yard earlier this week ... cheers, kb  |

kb, I have Corel's Paint Shop Pro. As the cheaper software goes, it's good, although it can't match Photoshop.
Nice work on the tulips, particularly the way you got rid of the background detail.

Woah! Bot h those shots are great.
Don, how long did it take to do that? I'd have no idea where to start. Maybe with the book. You know the one, "Photoshop for idiots, aka surfers."

Mike, it took about twenty-five minutes to do the processing. Basically, you take five shots; copy them; paste them as layers on a blank background; and distort the outside images into a box. It's not really all that complicated, but you do need to be acquainted with a lot of the basic software tools. I've spent a lot of time learning the software, partly by reading but mostly through trial and error.

That really is interesting. I've been spending hours cramming -- trying to learn photoshop better. It's becoming really important for my business, so I'm trying to learn. I finally, just two weeks ago, figured out where the "skew" function was. Before that, anytime I'd post a photo of my booth on my blog, the angles were all keystoned. A simple skewing corrected that. Wish I'd figured it out a long time ago. I've spent lots of $$ on pro booth photos.
Artistically, what I like about your composition is appearance of what could be taken as a confused dog. It lends some humor and meaning to what otherwise would just be digital trickery. It's really very nicely done.

Thanks, Millring. Yeah, the dog (Jenny) makes the shot.
