Working with Photoshop

I haven't had time to post here as I have started the photoshop class with DJ Pettitt and I am having a great time. I have been on holidays so have had lots of time (and it's been needed too) for working out the Elements program. It is just wonderful, finding out how to do layers and masking and making your own brushes. Just brilliant, I love it.

Can you believe I created the above using three different photos and some brushes. It is a picture of a paddock and tree, a seperate pic of a grey horse and then a photo of a postcard that DJ supplied for the class. I am so pleased with the result.

and this one, a photo taken in Port MacQuarie on a very overcast, rainy day and from the car, so I had lots of dash in the foreground - I added in the flowers and a clip of an old letter and blended.
I think it is okay. I am sure as I practice I shall improve. It is a bit addictive, oh no, another thing to become obsessed with.
