Melt My Heart
Uploaded: October 27, 2003
After I ran out of treats Looie got real bored and this is the end result. The original image is sharp but I wanted to accentuate the eye so I duplicated the layer and on that layer i added a 20% Gaussian Blur then made a Layer Mask and with a soft brush (at low opacity) I "painted" back in some sharpness on the eyes nose and foot.

Thank you Cathy, Donna (hi Donna!), Jean, Murry, Brinn, Sharon, Darren, Collette, Charlene and Lori! I really appreciate you kind words of encouragement. It's hard to believe Looie will be 7 in December, he still acts like a lunatic puppy :-) I hope he never grows up. #247371Joy Brown October 27, 2003
