The words on this image became my mantra today as I worked on Lesson 10 in Beyond Beyond. It was a short lesson, with a Lightroom preset, a texture, and a new video on adding text (this time to a selection). The assignment was to create, create- for the sake of creating.
Text on a path is the most difficult part of Photoshop for me; I seem to have a mental block about it. I am going to master it- but not today evidently. My attempts are not yet ready for prime time- so I did text on a very STRAIGHT path for my CREATE assignment. I used a couple layers of Kim’s subtly yours and an additional layer of cora (to add some pink tones).
These blossoms are from the most beautiful cherry tree EVER (outside of Washington DC). I drive by this tree often and am totally in love with it. You will see more photos on here another day for sure.

Beautiful image and I agree with the text path, but was able to figure it out. I found it much easier than the Pen Tool which I still have not mastered. My problem with the Selection was that I forgot to right click to make it a path, when I did that it was easy. I think I was too quick after watching the video that I didn’t remember that step.
So beautiful, Melinda! Love the soft pink tones.
Beautiful Spring capture. Lovely edit and text work.
Lovely Melinda…very calming photo.
So relaxing.
I agree, it’s a beautiful tree and you’ve done it justice with your creation.
The soft adjustments of textures and the pink tones from Cora really made this a lovely calming image. I would love it in print on a wall. Nicely done!
This is absolutely gorgeous. So glad you were able to capture the moment. The blossoms don’t stay around for long. Visiting from 2B.
