Digital Darkroom
I recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera. To help me learn how to use the camera and to process the results, I also purchased Photoshop Elements 4. I found The Photoshop Elements 4 Book by Scott Kelby to be a wonderful resource in my journey through the digital maze. This book takes you step-by-step through all the tools offered by this program and it provides photos for each step. Trust me, if I can do it anyone can! A student at Ryerson in the photography program also mentioned a FREE download from Adobe Labs - Photoshop Lightroom. I've tried it and it seems to do the job from colour correction to true black and white photos using levels, not just desaturating. This is available for only a limited time but it's worth checking out.
Mixed Media \ Collage
I've decided to do some experimenting with my Acrylic mediums and paints. I found some old sewing patterns and am going to try using the tissue as a ground for painting and collage. The colour is right and the print adds a different dimension. I'll post a picture after I get started.
