Have been working with a trial version of an updated Photoshop application. Enjoying it muchly... missed the sale date and am fretting now over what I'll have to pay to aquire it... well not fretting as much as feeling regret and remorse over losing track of the time like that! I'm not surprised as it's something I do often - time seems much more flexible to me, until it's past and then I begin to wonder where it went, he he!

Oh well!

still, I enjoyed the exercise and think it's worthwhile to purchase just for the ease in which I can perfrom tasks that took hours of concentrated effort to achieve previously. Really simple tasks too, you wouldn' t think it would be a big deal to add copyright notices and other details but I have found it to be a very time consuming process in the past. Okay - I can hear me justifying... yeah...

Just check this out...

I was playing with a pretty image of some lavender blooms

I managed to apply an effect to the backgound of the image and found the effect very pleasing;

Then I tried comparing the enhanced image, with the regular for in use as a greeting card type of layout that emphasises the lovely lavender hues;

Thinking it'll be worth the investment in the long run, I've used my older version for almost 5 years now!
