Tammy Espino March 13, 2012

I like your version :) #10036895

Laura E. Swan level-classic March 13, 2012

Hi Everyone! :) Last night I sat here and made about 15 different renditions of the Prince House. This one, I think, is my favorite. I'm happy you like it, too! When I first bought this new editing program I thought it was semi limited but the more I take it in and use different images the more possibilities I see.

I highly recommend it! (Emilie! Maybe you will bring your lap top on the train ride and play in DDR across the PRAIRIE Provinces?)

Thanks all of you. Very much!

-Laura :D #10037038

Chris Ebben March 13, 2012

HI Everybody! :D You know what I just noticed??? Look at the clouds at the center at the top! There is a smiley face there! HeeHee! That 180 reflection filter is really neat to use, and so were the rest listed above.

Thanks so much Mr Tree, Chris, Barbara, Rey and Kitty!!!

It's always a pleasure to have each of YOU in my gallery, too! Thanks for saying that Rey!

Have great evenings everyone! :)))

Mary K. Robison March 14, 2012

Whoa, Pom!!!
First of all, I faved this, and not just because of the Alice references... ;-D
What you did to turn the Prince House into a fantasy residence is phenomenal! If you'd bought that Smart Photo Editor program and used it just once, THIS is the image it was meant to create!
I can't over-state this, my imaginative friend: this is what a digital Work of Art is all about.
I have no doubt that the bp judges will be as impressed as I am. Looking forward to saying "Congratulations!" to you next month! #10037594

Stephen Zacker March 14, 2012

Gosh you guys! Your responses to this one has been better than ANY cup of my favorite morning coffee! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

* * *

Stan, you got a deal. :D Being the PM (Property Manager) for this duplex will no doubt be a memorable event...(Or will it? Maybe once you step into the image each month to collect, you wont remember a thing when you step back out? Hmmmm!) Let's talk.

*

Carol, that was well said! :D

*

Hi Terry! HeeHee...Yes. I imagine one day I will go to click on it and nothing will happen. :( Just a little pop up will arise saying "You Must Be Kidding!"

*

Thanks Neal! Yes, and about yours...?! I went to see it and it's very pretty!!!

*

Hi Renee! :D Great to see you and Thanks so Much! :)))

*

MARE! WOW! What can I possibly say? What a wonderful friend you are. You are so supportive of me and my work I just can't thank you enough. If I ever own my own gallery, I'll fly you up as my guest of honor! :))) Oh wait, I have to strike it rich first to afford that ticket...Hmmmm...Must rethink that one! Please know in my heart you are so appreciated in my life and gallery. xo Thank you.

*

Hi Steve! Well, you just come on back any time you need to see it again. No doubt you had fun looking at the details there. I have too, and thank you for looking (and looking!Ha!)

*

BIG SISTER! Hi !!!!!!!!!!! WOW! I have missed you so much! We need to start thinking of our Halloween theme story with music one of these months? We missed doing it last year. What do you think??? Now that I have this new program we can whip up some real "doozies" and maybe even charge admission? (TO OUR HAUNTED HOUSE???????? HA!)

I'll go see what you have posted but first...this....(Perhaps a sneak peek into Halloween VIA this new filter!)

!!!THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

JO ANN CLEVELAND March 15, 2012

Fantastic Laura, you are the great DD Queen.

p.s. I bought that filter and still can't get in into my CS 5 or Corel Paint Shop X13, now what am I doing wrong?? I have Windows 7 computer..

jo ann c. #10039180

Laura E. Swan level-classic March 15, 2012

Hi Bobby! I hope you had a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! :))) Thanks for the visit!

*

Hi Jo Ann! I'll send you an e-mail in case you aren't here but if you are let me explain. :) It's not a filter. It's a program in itself, with MANY filters in it already!. So it wont fit in CS5 or any other program. You should find it on your desk top. :) Just double click on the picture of the black and white camera and it will open! :)))) Then go to the upper left corner and click on file and open (to photos) and pick a photo to work on. :) I hope this helped! :))) I'm so glad you bought it! :))

-Laura :D

P.S. You are the Queen. I am only one of many princesses! :))) !!! #10039299
