Playing around with Adobe Elements – an Update

Tuesday, April 20
I had quite a lot of fun with Adobe Elements. I admit I’m a coward about learning how to use Adobe Illustrator. But, you know, Adobe Elements lets me play around and at least think I know what I’m doing.

I was playing around with the posterize effect.  Posterize just makes it look more like a poster and not so much like a photo.  It brings out details I hadn’t noticed before.  (Like my grim face.)

I have a lot of fun with effects. This is how my photos came out.

Here’s another.

I also experimented with a composite photo. I haven’t learned to do it well yet, but here’s what I came up with.

You might notice I spend a lot of time square dancing.  It’s fun.

I can have a lot of fun without being expert at Adobe Elements.

As for Flipping Book – it’s on my list of things that isn’t worth the trouble. I installed it again and again and nothing worked. I mean nothing! It wiped out the whole post, not just its own little area. I decided that it wasn’t worth the time I’d spent to make it work. Help on the web site wasn’t really helpful. Sorry Flipping Book.

Days and days ago
UH! OH!  I’ve got a problem.  I’ll be back with you as soon as I fix it.

Even earlier

Once in a while, a girl’s got to play.  Here I’m combining my love of square dancing and Adobe’s Posterize effect.

Oh yes, I’m also playing around having problems with FlippingBook.

Please be patient with the adventurer in me.
