I’m usually pretty good at figuring things out. If I put my mind to it, and keep experimenting, I can generally teach myself how to do at least a passable job at something. However, I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with overlays for my pix. I really REALLY want to learn because it’s those little touches I see added here on FlickR that often turn a pic from really good to WOW! Although I’ve started adding a few things here and there, I think in many cases they’re looking a bit forced rather than just a natural result of the shot. Part of the issue is that I don’t have Photoshop; instead I have Paintshop Pro, which has easily met all my relatively minor photoediting needs until now. Just so frustrating!!! If anyone sees this who is willing to share some tips, I’d really REALLY appreciate it! I understand my limitations, and know that not every shot is going to be a winner, so it would be nice to be able to help them along just that little bit without spending hours to achieve relatively little or nothing at all… Sighs, I definitely think I need a dose of sea and sun on the Mediterranean, but since that’s not likely any time soon, I guess I’ll go shop instead! Happy Monday!
