"Artistic Paradise"
Uploaded: June 18, 2007
My original photo was just sundown w/dark foreground.
I used custom made brushes from my orig. photos of leaves, then stamped & layered in PS. Used flood in FP. Used eraser tool to draw birds & details, then used liquify to swirl color in mirror image in water.
Finished with brush tool to hand write my signature for copyright.

Pretty image, effects and colors! Can you explain how to use that Liquify flter? I have it in my AdobeCS, but not sure how to use it. Thanks! #675864Eleanor M. Perrotta June 18, 2007
Shelly, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my image. I'm glad you like it. I use Liquify in Photoshop. Choose your image, then go to Filters>Liquify. Tools are on left side. Hold cursor on any tool. They are self explanatory. If you are not happy with results, Edit or Cancel. Need more, contact me from my gallery. Glad to help.Shelly A. Van Camp June 18, 2007
Thanks so much, Eleanor. I had a flood filter but it expired. I am hoping the liquify will work as well. Thanks so much again....Nice work. #4409158Eleanor M. Perrotta June 18, 2007
