JUST A QUOTE FOR FRIDAY- DEB'S CHALLENGE

When catching up with some blog reading earlier this week, I saw that DEB TURTLE had thrown down the gauntlet, in the form of a challenge based on her 'JUST A QUOTE FOR FRIDAY' posts.... NOT ONLY to add a quote to a picture she sent, but ALSO to alter it, using some kind of computer programme!

This is Deb's original picture:

Now, I don't even POSSESS anything remotely as advanced as PHOTOSHOP, but I use an old programme called ROXIO PHOTOSUITE 7, which suits my very basic needs when it comes to editing and have started working between it and PICMONKEY.

So off I went and had a 'fiddle' and this is what I came up with:

I BELIEVE that I 'posterized' the original, changed the colour slightly, did something called 'focal soften' and then added a texture called 'burst'.....next time I do something like this, I shall pay more attention, but in the meantime I'm rather pleased at having tried something new- and of how it turned out!

I must confess to having to look long and hard for an appropriate quote...no doubt something better will pop into my head as soon as I press the 'publish' button!

Thanks Deb, for encouraging me to extend my creative boundaries today!

Wishing you all a happy weekend!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you
