Very nice darling! :squee: Love your use of colors! (I might do a tutorial on tricks in PF later...)

Been busy blendin' this morning.
I know they're huge, so I'll have to resize them before I can use them anywhere.

I've found so many great textures today, so I'm on an artsy loop :grin:

Though I'm not so sure about the last one..

I like them! The last one... I take it you first mirrored it, and than used a texture? It looks nice, but you may be able to blur the line in the middle a 'lil bit. :wink:

I love the first one - nice use of colours and pattern. :heart:

I like the first one most too! Fabulous colors!
On the TNA one the bubbles in their faces disturb me a bit and I think if you blur the line between the pics in the last one, like Maartje said, it will work better. -Great text though :wink:-

Well I just did the whole blending process twice, and flipped the right one horizontally, but I just didn't place the pictures correctly. I don't know if I can still fix that though..
Oh and how do I blur a line in the middle? :blush:

Edit:
Found it! And it works a lot better too with PhotoFiltre, now I'm starting to realise how much more complicated and annoying Photoshop is :lol:

Oh, that is absolutely true - PS is a program for professionals, I think. If you really wanna learn how to work with it properly, while PhotoFiltre has the basics you need.

There's a blur button on the right menu, but I guess you've already found it. :wink:

:lol: I'm a professional then. :wink: ... But I really don't think it's difficult. Plus there is an amazing youtube channel which has some fabulous tutorials. In just an hour or so I learned a lot more than I already knew.

BTW; PS has a 'smudge' and a blur-tool in the toolbar as well. :wink:

Well, I mean it's a program usually used by profs. :wink: It's pretty hard to figure all its functions out without a good tutorial, I agree with you there. But PF works quite alright for me, so I think I'll just stick to that one...

I know that, I've always used Photoshop, I've only been using PhotoFiltre for about a week now. But it is a lot more confusing, so many steps which I can never remember so I always need tutorials every step of the way.
And the blur and smudge tool aren't as good in Photoshop in my opinion.

I've tried to use PS various times myself, but I personally think it's rather difficult to be honest. The tools in PF aren't as great, that's true, but it's a lot more easy. (I think)

I've just those fabulous picture off Rex Features. Such a shame we can't get them bigger though.

Reminds me I should rewatch Graham Norton's Bigger Picture (second on the left, haha) soon!

And yeah, the pictures are really nice, but I do hate these websites that will only allow you to have the HQ version if you pay. :sad:

I know--Rex has lovely pictures, but they're only that big. They're what I used for my Gaerth colour bar, too.

It's not much, but I felt I needed to make something. I had to use Photoshop, because for some reason, PhotoFiltre refused to work. I haven't worked with PS in ages, so I've forgotten how to do it to be honest :lol:

I actually made this one a few days ago, but forgot to post it.
Here's another one, which I'm currently using on TRA:
