What kind of special floor mat? Did you use Photoshop? That is so neat! #101795

Glad you all enjoy my work. It is loads of fun to do. I have an in-home business called Perfect Angels. I work on peoples snapshots to enhance, repair, restore, or do special effects. When I take the pictures myself, the floor mat I use for my angel clouds is a home made combo of white pillows and shades of blue sheets. Once the photo is taken, then I scan it in and smear or clone the pillows and sheets together, in Adobe Photo Deluxe Business Addition,for the cloud effect. For the background I use PhotoImpact for the cloundy sky look. When I fist started it took me hours to figure out this effect on the floor and in the computer. Now I can make one of these in about an hour. My granddaughter, along with friends who gave me permission to use their kids as models, make the perfect subjects for my sample pictures. I just got licensed to run a business last March. So I'm just getting started. My web page is under construction and will be ready soon. #101986
