I spent part of today working on some lessons in the Photoshop Artistry class I’ve just started. I decided to combine a topic in my Flickr daily challenge group (lock and key) with Texture Tuesday and some of the skills I’m trying to learn (and re-learn) in Photoshop. The fun part was trying different adjustments and filters and taking snapshots in the History Panel- a technique I tried a long, long time ago and had never really added to my workflow. Snapshots! I had totally forgotten about using them, and they are a quite useful tool when trying to do something artsy. This photo has a painted effect AND a texture. I added text- and ended up having more trouble with that than anything else- go figure.

I love the quote – so true!! No clue what you do to photos but I love them!
Love this Melinda. The painted effect bleands really well with the texture that was added.
Sorry, I meant *blends*
You did a beautiful job with the edit.
I love the angle of this image – and that key is fabulous! Lovely texture work too!
Love it. I’m in that class too! I need to go back through MANY lessons. Such good stuff there!!
Great key and quote.
I like it. My Dad collected old keys. I still have about 50. I gave some to the grandsons.
Beautiful work.
This is perfect – love the quote and the key photo!
