Photoshopping

I just love ambiguous titles.

I hear you wondering: "What is photoshopping?" "Is he shopping for photos?" "But its all one word not two words 'photo' and 'shopping' what could it be?"

Well, call off the hounds, the answer is simple. I am learning how to use the computer programme Photoshop. You may have heard of it. It is a program that you can sharpen, adjust and manipulate photos. You can also mix and mash photos to create amazing effects and build beautiful graphics for websites and printing.

All stuff I am interested in of course.

I present for your viewing pleasure my first bit of work. First of all here is the original pic of Mrs B:

And the rework:

This gives the pic a more grainy, colour / sepia feel. Makes it a bit more gritty. For the techheads out there, the pic has a high pass of 142.0 pixels and sheened with Hard Light.

Anyway, we are going coffee table shopping. We are sick of using a cardboard box.
